While we presume him to be innocent, he apparently missed the Judy Blume classic, Then Again, Maybe I Won't.

Who’s Judy Blume?

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Anybody else memba the cartoon, Rugrats? The main characters were the Pickles family (and at the time it was popular, about ten years ago) I thought it was a ‘Blume’ homage).

And yes...there WAS a DYLan Pickles :)

Arrested for rape?

Pickle won't relish this.

[JRios1968]

We need to check with Whoopi...was it “rape rape” or what?

[csvset]

Well, perhaps as Whoopee Cushion Golberg says, “ It wasn’t rape rape. “

[Cicero]

Apple, tree.

It was Judy Blume who first set the style for putting perverted children’s literature into our public schools.

Judy Blume is an American author. She has written many novels for children and young adults which have exceeded sales of 80 million and been translated into 31 languages.

Blume's novels for teenagers were among the first to tackle such controversial matters as racism (Iggie's House), menstruation (Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.), divorce (It's Not the End of the World, Just As Long As We're Together), bullying (Blubber), masturbation (Deenie; Then Again, Maybe I Won't) and teen sex (Forever), and as such have been the source of controversy over the appropriateness of such topics for her middle school audience.

She is married with two children and a stepchild.

“I know Judy Blume, and she’s simply a self-absorbed twit, a conceited, insufferable, arrogant, control freak, and am not surprised her doted-upon grandson is now reaping the sins of the (grand)mother, who has super-indulged him throughout his life with privilege and the sense of entitlement she has long believed she is due. While this tragic situation will play itself out in court, I’m frankly not surprised the curtain is being pulled back to reveal the shallow, callow, life she actually has created and her family is now paying. Tough, baby. Karma.”

Several teenagers and one adult relative of Mr. Blume-Pickle were in the house, according to police. Police do not believe the adult, who was not identified in the police report, made contact with the teenagers during the evening.

“At one point, the defendant was alone in one section of the house with the victim,” Tisbury police detective Mark Santon said. “The other teenagers had gone to get some food. He lifted the girl, carried her into a bedroom, and forced her on the bed.”

Police said they believe the teenagers in the house were drinking alcohol, but they don’t know yet whether the young people took advantage of alcohol in the house or whether they brought it to the house.

“We’re looking into the fact that alcohol is involved, and none of the people involved appear to be over 21,” Det. Santon said. “It’s being investigated.”

At the time of Mr. Blume-Pickle’s arrest, police executed a search warrant at the house and seized biological evidence, according to Det. Santon.

Mr. Santon said the victim reported the crime to her mother, who took her to the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital emergency room, when police were called, as the law requires.
