A Case of Internet Chatting Ends with Aggravated Sexual Assault (Lubbock, Texas)
KCBD News Channel 11 ^ | 27 March 2006 | Staff

Posted on 03/27/2006 4:36:53 PM PST by Army Air Corps

A Lubbock grandfather is credited with holding a
suspected online predator at gunpoint until police
could arrive. Twenty-two year-old Brandon Ray Lewis is
charged with aggravated sexual assault. The
victim's grandfather says he found Lewis having sex
with his 13-year-old granddaughter in front of their
Northwest Lubbock home around 2:30 Monday morning.

Police executed a search warrant Monday afternoon,
police can't say specifically what they collected
as evidence from Lewis' house, but they can confirm
that they've found electronic evidence which will help with their ongoing investigation.

Here's what happened, a Lubbock man noticed a
suspicious car parked in his driveway around 2:30
Monday morning. He then saw Lewis allegedly having sex
with his 13-year-old granddaughter. The man called
police and held Lewis at gunpoint until officers
arrived.

Police tell us they'll turn over
whatever evidence they can find to the District
Attorney's office.

Lubbock Police Department Lt. Jerry Brewer
said, "If there's something we can present, send
over the FBI to do federal charges we'll do that,
we've done it in the past. We're really
aggressive about trying to stop this."

Lt. Brewer said the teen and Lewis met online and
have been chatting for a couple of months. This was
apparently their first face to face meeting.

A number of questions still remain, like where the
two met online and if anyone lied about their age.
We'll continue to ask those questions and as soon
as they're answered, we'll bring
you the latest.

I am glad that the grandfather had the cajines to hold the perp. I am sure that the firearm helped keep the slimeball at bay.

Personally, I would have shot the guy, but that is just me.

What the heck is wrong with a 13 year old who, upon their "first face to face meeting" she thinks it's OK to have sex with a total stranger in her front yard? Much less, that it's OK to have sex with anyone. What is that?

Many kids today are behaving far outside norms of decency and self-respect.

Kids are sexualised at a young age in our society and they are bombarded with the message that they should have sex early and often. Then, there are some parents who do not counter what the media crams into their kids' brains.

Given that they charged the perp with aggravated sexual assault (as opposed to, say, statutory rape), do you have any reason to think that the 13-year-old consented to the sex? Seems to me it's more likely he groomed her online so she'd meet him and then forced himself on her.

I know, I know. But, darn, 13 years old! It's just too young. And, it's so prevalent.

Too many questions, Not enough answers.

1. Where was the Father and the Mother.
2. Is this girl mentally ill?
You almsot have to be Mentally ill
to sneak out in the middle of the night
to meet a stranger and have sex 13 0r 33.
3. What punishment did the girl get?. At the least
she should be grounded for life and have her
computer privileges taken away.
4.A 43 yo lady school teacher got a suspended sentence the other day for having sex with a 13 year old male student, will this guy get a suspended sentence?
5. What other problems has Grandpa had with this kid?

Yes, it is FAR too young, and very prevalent. Every time that I see a story like this, I continue to be shocked.

Thus, the cops are continuing to conduct their investigation. There are many questions to be answered.

Like Desi Arnaz would say, "They got some splainin' to do".

13 year old girls are silly twits who are just starting to feel their hormones. Adults have to protect them, not take advantage of them.
I'd have a different comment if she had been 33.

And good for her Grandpa.

Does anyone seriously think they would have stopped their activity had grandpa just said 'Stop!' without a proper tool to back up his position? I sure don't...

You said it! Hold a perp at bay is best done with a firearm.

Oh: I agree with you about Grandpa

Not a very well written story , too many things left out, But Gramps is going to have his hands full with this kid.

I still wonder where the parents are.

There are some on FR who would have no problem with this, if the guy had been the girl's teacher.
