WATCH: The mother of the Ohio 10/y rape victim tells Telemundo's @MariaVargasPion that the child "is fine", and "everything they say about (Gerson Flores) is a lie." pic.twitter.com/Vtpyn404g7— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) July 14, 2022
This appears to confirm my thesis of a domestic situation wherein the confessed rapist is also the paramour of the victim's mother (other familial relation is possible but less likely). Unfortunately, I saw many such cases while working as a court interpreter.— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) July 14, 2022
The mother's distressed defense of the rapist suggests that
a: She is also here illegally and fears deportation
b: The defendant is the family's sole source of income
c: There is a likelihood of other children in the home— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) July 14, 2022
