The assaults happened Nov. 28 after a 19-year-old with prior drug convictions persuaded the young girl to leave her house and go "riding around" with him and two other young men, according to a Cleveland police officer's sworn statement.
They first went to the blue house, where she was ordered to disrobe. If she refused, the statement said, she was warned other girls would beat her up and she would never get a ride back home.
Soon she was having sex with multiple young men there, the statement said. Someone used a phone to invite four more men, who soon arrived.
Not long afterward, the group fled through a back window when they heard a relative of one of the teens arriving at the blue house. The 11-year-old left behind her bra and panties as the group moved to the nearby abandoned trailer, where the assaults continued. As the men had sex with the girl, others used their cell phones to take photographs and video, police said.
I think you’re right.
The “consent” argument is lame. As I’ve been saying. She can’t legally consent due to her age.
And secondly, the reports I’ve been reading of her “willingness” appear to be based from those accused of this rape.
I’m backing off of my previous opinions of the 11 year old. Even in spite of her Facebook posting. I’m not backing off of my previous opinions of the men and boys who raped her, though. I still believe they should be tried and convicted of rape.
