BUFFALO, NY: On December 2, 2021, G. Steven Pigeon’s life changed.
The Erie County District Attorney charged Pigeon, 61, with rape and sexual assault of a child. The charges stemmed from a single incident that allegedly took place five years earlier.
The District Attorney did not disclose the child’s name, age, or gender. However, the charges state the child was under 11 when the alleged incident occurred. The indictment alleges the incident happened between November and December 2016.
The local media reported the child is a girl. The prosecution revealed at Pigeon’s bail hearing that she was a family member. Pigeon does not have any children.
There is no allegation that Pigeon repeated or tried to repeat the charged offenses before or after the alleged one-time incident.
The Eric County District Attorney charged Pigeon with two counts of sexual assault against a child, one count of rape, one count of criminal sexual act, one count of sexual abuse, and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.
Pigeon could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted of all charges against him.
District Attorney John J. Flynn, Jr. said, “This is big boy stuff here. OK? This is rape; this isn’t child molestation. This is rape, and so when we’re talking at that level, all right, we’re talking life in prison.”

Pigeon’s sentencing dates were adjourned after the child’s rape charge. The trial is unlikely to start until 2023.
What’s the big deal? It’s just a typical family holiday activity in democratic households.
That 11 year old must be a racist.
If he is a predator then there are more incidents.
He raped a little boy, didn’t he? Friggin’ scum won’t face justice unless he gets into the general population in prison. Those folks know how to deal with a chomo.
What, he couldn’t get an invite to Epstein Island?
DITTO. Look for more to ooze out soon.
Maybe the boy was a gift from Billy and Hillary to tested out before being transferred to them??
An easier exercise would be to name a democrat strategist who hasn’t raped a little boy
Child’s word versus his word?
Which one has had the most time to learn deception and how to lie?
Poor child…yawn, no laws for rats…
I hope he gets life. And I hope his new prison buddies meet out Justice
This breaks my heart for the little girl. Why must she be subjected to that monster?
Good Lord. This guy should swing.
.
The child (going to stick with neutral here because "local media" has been know to report stuff that ain't so) says they were raped five years ago.
Perhaps.
One side.
Kids do lie about such things.
Kids have also been led by therapists into "remembering" things that never happened.
It is currently cool to be a victim.
Other side.
Kids have been raped by adults.
They have been threatened into remaining silent.
Their own family members have even covered up the rape.
This is why we have a legal system and we hopefully have a justice system. To find out who is is telling the truth.
"But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream."
Even if he is a democrat.
