Man Pleads Guilty in Molestation of 8-Year-Old (8 yo pregnant)

A Queens sock vendor pleaded guilty yesterday to molesting and impregnating his girlfriend's 8-year-old daughter and faces 20 years in prison, prosecutors said.

Chancellor Drayton, 44, of 4-21 27th Ave. in Astoria, was charged with first-degree rape, police said, after the girl's grandmother found a "Dear Dad" love letter in which the child wrote that she enjoyed having sex with him and added, "I want to marry you." The girl's mother, a Fort Greene resident, contacted police, and tests showed that her daughter was 15 weeks pregnant.

At the mother's request, an abortion was performed and police arrested Drayton two weeks later. Prosecutors contended that he had sex with the girl at least four times between Dec. 2001 and Oct. 30, 2002 - usually while the mother, a student at Baruch College, was running errands.

20 years for child rape but a possible 25 years for robbery. Sometimes justice just makes you wonder.

I don't mean to be naive, but don't you have to have a menustration period before you can get pregnant and isn't it unheard of for an 8 yr. old to have her period. I don't mean to be stupid, but as a man I didn't think that was possible that young.

[Semper Paratus]

8 years old! It didn't know that was possible.

I agrrrrrreeeeee Annie, get your gun and shoot that B@stard!

There is no torture I can think of that would be cruel enough for this sub-human scum.

You know if we had the death penalty for these freaks that want to have sex with children...then I wager to say we wouldn't be looking for little Carlie right now....how is it we can't protect the children of this country?

I know someone who was 8 when she started her period- and girls can and do ovulate prior to the onset of menstration.

[hellinahandcart]

You can get pregnant before your first period, it's just a matter of timing. And the onset of menstruation is happening earlier and earlier. Nobody really knows why.

... and isn't it unheard of for an 8 yr. old to have her period.

Rare, but not unheard of.

And you have to excerpt newsday.com, it's really the Washington Post.

So this POS is 44, his g/f is a college student, and he impregnates the 8 year old. A Springer show in the making.

Yep, and even 30 years ago, I knew of 2 girls who began menstruating by age 10, so today, I am sure 8 year old fertile girls isn't unheard of.

I only learned of it much later, but there was a girl in my elementary school class who had begun menstruating at the age of 2. All I knew was that by third grade she was very well developed. So yes, it's possible.

I don't mean to be stupid, but as a man I didn't think that was possible that young.

According to this site (take it with a grain of salt), the youngest authenticated mother was 5 years, 8 months old.
