Phoenix police arrested a Phoenix ice cream vendor Tuesday in connection with raping and impregnating a 9-year-old girl he befriended on his sales route, said police Sgt. Randy Force.
Adrian Gonzalez, 24, was arrested at his home at 4621 E. Hubbell St. and booked into Maricopa County’s Madison Street Jail in Phoenix on suspicion of two counts each of kidnapping and sexual misconduct with a minor, with a dangerous crimes against children classification, Force said.
On different occasions Gonzalez drove brown-andwhite vans in the area of 43rd Avenue and McDowell Road, near where the girl lived. Gonzalez befriended the girl and her siblings, and got to know her mother well enough to persuade her to let the girl accompany him on his route, Force said.
Several sexual acts occurred in the van, Force said.
"This subject intimidated the girl into silence by telling her he would kill her siblings and kill her mother if she told," he said.
The possible abuse came to light after the girl complained to a friend of what was later determined to be a pregnancy-related illness. The girl took a home pregnancy test and later informed the police of the rape, Force said. The pregnancy was confirmed by police, Force said.
The rape was reported to have happened in April or May, Force said.
Police fear there could be other victims.
"There could be other children out there that are just too scared to say anything," Force said.
Frequently we discuss moral issues on this site, and this story (obviously) raises a few.
and threads like these usually end up in bitter debates about a situation that constitutes less than 1% of all abortions. IOW, a situation most will never find themselves in.
Look, she probably can't physically carry the child to term. She might be able to carry the child long enough to give her a chance. I don't know. But the trauma was placed on this child by a human monster. The emotional tragedy will be great no matter what. You seem to think that an abortion will make it all go away. It most certainly won't. The trauma of an abortion could cause great emotional difficulties for this young girl for years -- perhaps the rest of her life.
Good advice. I asked the person who posted the thread a simple question. I never complained. That person never answered. Instead, all these busy bodies leaped on me. (I know, I know, she's your wife, but she leaped on me!) Make the mean old lady go away!!!! please????
:^}
Pay no attention to me either
Ok.
Yes, it does shappen. There are several pregancies on record, including some brought to full term, among girls even younger. I remember reading of the pregnancy of a five-year-old in South America years ago.
Seems to have about as much relevance as these other intellectual threads you've been replying to.

I assume that this prenancy is well within the first trimester, and that the rape itself will more haunt her than any abortion performed.
Too bad there aren't any American ice cream vendors.
YES!!!!
Of course, the one exception is if the pregnancy poses a genuine, imminent, unavoidable, objective threat to the poor girl's life.
Otherwise, right now, there's one innocent victim.
No one gains by creating a second.

I already lost that argument with your mother.
Yes, there was a girl in my daughters 2nd grade class ( a few years back ) who started going through puberty, she was given a drug to slow down the process, but even by the time she was in 8th grade you could tell she was bigger than all the other girls.
Naw, it's just a very late term abortion.
It took a few posts before I realized that it was an abortion issue. I asked a simple question, the thread poster didn't answer so I had to wait for the PRO/ANTI abortion people to make the issue clear.
In the mean time,,all these PMS people jumped all over me. (I'm really in trouble now) LOL
Shush, boy - the adults are talking.
LOL,, lots 'o baggage there son.
Dont put words in my mouth. Read my posts. I said there were no easy answers. In my opinion a full-term pregancy and childbirth for a 9 year old is obscene and abusive. I dont think an abortion is the "easy answer". Its the only reasonable one I see for this scenario. You have a different opinion. Oh well, good for you.
FWIW - Hardline right to lifers who cant see past their own dogma NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES do more to HURT their cause then help it. Just my opinion.
Wrong! It would be the little girl who be be beheaded, not the creep.
