Sentencing Delayed
On December 14, 2021, Pigeon was to be sentenced for his federal charges and in January 2022, for the state charges.
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?
Maybe the boy was a gift from Billy and Hillary to tested out before being transferred to them??
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?
.
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.
