14 men charged in sex assaults of Texas girl

I have trouble believing those figures. 1 in 3 girls? 1 in 4 boys?? "Molested"?

MMmmmmmm Nah... I just can't buy that, unless we're talking about some unreasonably broad definition of "molested". Seems highly improbable.

Molested. Bad touch. And yes - it was 1 in 4 for females for the past many, many years, so I can see how it might be 1 in 3 now.

Molestation is being touched with out penetration. Its still physiologically damaging.

11 YO???? I raised daughters, youngest is still a teen, I know how mature young teens can look. But 11 YO????? How can that many people think an 11 YO is at LEAST 18? No way. Word got around... girl that has sex... I bet she is one messed up kid. I can see the "I didn't know" defense POSSIBLY for a 15, 16, YO, but 11?? NO WAY!! Disgusting. Those people knew she was a kid.

There are girl of 11 who look 18. They are typically chunky, and thus have developed way faster than they other wise would, especially with the food additives we have now. One of my friends when I was a kid was suckered by a 12 year old who claimed she was 17 (he was 15) into dating for 2 weeks. Yes, they did things.
 
My daughter was a DD at age 11. We used to joke that it was because we lived downriver from the power plant.

My point exactly.

Nah, that's probably not true in the U.S., but I can believe those to be global statistics pretty easily. When you got places like Bosnia and Thailand...

They are true for the US.
 
I have mixed feelings on sex crimes, think lifetime registration for MANY is unfounded and clogs up the system so REAL bad guys walk around and rape and kill at will, BUT--- 11 YO?? No way they thought this girl was an adult. I wonder about the parents some, too. Having raised 5 kids I know you can't watch them 24/7, but at age 11 I knew EXACTLY where my kids were. This is one nasty case. Maybe the people that are in a void over the Casey trial ending can come here...

Why would you assume they thought she was an adult.

It is more likely they knew who she was, how old she was and didn't care.

In a small town everybody knows everybody.
 
Here is the part that is really pissing me off. Many residents of Cleveland, Texas, which is just north of Houston, are saying that the girl deserved it, because of the way she dressed.

My suggestion? Castrate the punks who raped this little girl, and while we are at it, cut out the tongues of some of the punk-ass residents of Cleveland, Texas. Hey, some of these assholes wear lipstick, so they must deserve it, right?

Article is here.

Not only do I agree with castration but I think anyone that says she deserved it needs to have the snot slapped out of them in public, until they are crying like a school girl unless they are a school girl, in which case a good old fashion spanking is in order.

What a bunch idiots.
 
I'm curious what the defense will be? Small town.. let's go with they all knew she was a kid-- no defense there. No "white" people involved, so screaming race is pretty stupid... I can't even imagine a defense. Bet they will all plea out in the end, but waste all kinds of money fighting it first. The lawyers will know this, but drag it out for a year or so to make max money off it.
 
20+ individuals gand raped an 11 year old...surely...she loved them and they cared about her and it was a loving act...how can we fault these 20 upstanding citizens? We just dont understand.
 
How is that worse than more than a dozen raping an 11 year old?

To me, it seems as if, in addition to being raped, she had to suffer the additional indignity of taking responsibility for her own rape. IMO, this adds insult to injury and can be psychologically devastating, but I can see why others might disagree.

IMO, what they "think" doesn't matter. Anyone who has sex with someone they know so barely that they can't determine if they are a minor is taking a huge and foolish risk for little gain
 
Lets hope the police make sure none of these people are mexican nationals .. first and foremost above anything else.
