Father Accused of Raping Daughter Acquitted After 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Defense
PJ media ^ | 8/17/16 | Julie Prince

Posted on 08/19/2016 12:15:39 PM PDT by Mount Athos

Attorney Cathy McCulloch had a client who was accused of eight counts of raping his own daughter over a six year period. The man adamantly denied that he had ever laid a hand on his daughter, but the girl gave a very "compelling interview" to police and shared explicit details of the crime.

Her client mentioned that his daughter's favorite book was Fifty Shades of Grey, and it appeared that she may have been using material from the book to give her testimony.

After picking up a copy of the book, the team found 17 different examples pointing to the racy novel as material for the girl's accusations against her father.

After just seven minutes, she broke down and admitted she had made up the accusations to teach her "strict" father a lesson. After the prosecutor re-examined the girl a second time, the father was granted an immediate acquittal.

There was a show in the early ‘70s called Tattletales. It was basically the Newlywed Game for married celebrities, where they were tasked with predicting how their spouses would answer a certain question. On one episode, the question was, “If you caught your 12-year-old daughter reading a pornographic book, would you take it away or let her keep reading it?” To a person, their answer was to let her keep reading it. They were very strong and proud of that answer, as though it was the only morally acceptable answer. I guess things haven’t changed in Hollyweird.

I disagree. Yes. I was like you too, but I had a mother who read that stuff and watched soaps; very racy, and a father who objectified women.

I school a 12 year old, and yes, she is a girl, but has no interest in that material. Her public school friends, however, cannot get enough. Her cousins sing foul pop songs all the time and are some of the most highly sexualized 10 and 12 year olds I have ever seen. I am afraid to be around them due to their behavior.

Be careful of your thought, for they become your words, be careful of your words, for they become your actions, be careful of your actions, for they become your character, be careful of your character, for that becomes your destiny.

When I was in my early twenties, I worked at a facility with troubled children. One of the 17 year old boys made the accusation that his father had molested him. It wasn’t true but it ruined the family. It turns out the boy was being coached by a fellow classmate, a girl, and he was taken out of the house. The family never felt safe with him there again and I don’t think he was ever allowed to return.

The kid sounds like a snowflake-in-training, already so into her own petty issues and playing the victim of strict parents-like I said in another post-outlined in chalk if she were mine, and my husband would have agreed...

And yes, I do have kids-adults now...

There are plenty of women with issues, and anyone interested in sado-masochistic themes definitely have issues. I was at the theater (for another movie) during the premier of that filth. That audience looked like someone was busing in women from the Walmart on the wrong side of the tracks.

I remember that show. There were a number of racy topics on that show. Remember Love American Style? A sort of Real Sex for that ear. I was a child when those were produced. My comments to Texan5 suggest that my interest in such items was due to the fact that my parents watched such shows, read racy books, my mother watched rather racy soaps. They did not encourage me in those things and certainly would not let me read racy books but the example was cast. The message was clear, racy material is ok as is the objectifying of women and sex. Yes, children are curious but we need to be careful how we feed that curiosity.

I remember a friend’s child asking if she knew where he came from? My friend thought she was going to do the facts of life spiel but instead asked, “No Dear. Where did you come from?” To which the child answered, “The basement where I was playing.” Imagine how the child’s mind would have reeled had he been given the facts of life upon returning from the basement?

It is amazing how strict parents are either loved and respected for being strict or hated and sometimes murdered for it. There seems to be no middle of the road. Young girls usually hate the Mother for being strict and young boys hate the father. She or he puts pressure on the other parent to either support the spouse or the her/himself. Case history shows, like “Forensic Files,” illustrate horrible results in dysfunctional families. One case recently showed that a single mother had allowed an 18 year old boy friend move in to “rent” a room and the 14 year old winds up participating, with the boy, in the stabbing murder of her mother. YIKES!!

I pray the father can recover from this. I hope his wife stuck by him through this.

Wow how horrible for all involved, if her father is reading 50 shades of gray and is strict however, he’s a hypocrite

Hardly. Adult is adult. My kids don't watch R-rated movies, but I do. Am I a hypocrite for not allowing them to?

Of course there is this:

The press should be talking about Malia’s pot smoking at Martha ‘s Vineyard.

He pretty much nails it on a number of levels.

I like his mention that men cannot read women when it comes to when they want sex. Women would actually rather do without sex than let a guy they want it from know. That requires just too damn much effort on their part, while the guy they want it from would spend hours pleasing them if they’d only ask.

He came very close to covering another truism, and that’s that women are all into sex when dating, and then the (be back at “X”) sign goes up and the clock reveals that time about as often as if it was 26:37. (military time of course) And if by chance, it does reveal that time through a fluke of nature, it turns out it’s not convenient at that time anyway.

There’s also the decent guy syndrome, who sees the players picking up woman after woman with the worst lines ever presented clearly as a convenient vessel, but if he tries to court her, he’s somehow not being honest with her. Go figure...

Thanks for the link. It was a decent read.

If I still had a cub at home, I would homeschool or private school them just like I already did-even though my husband had to take a second job during the bad Carter years, the cub still went to Catholic school-public school was not acceptable to us as parents, even then-my husband and I went to Catholic schools, too...

When my mom figured out I was reading Peyton Place, she sat down with me and asked me if I understood any of what I was reading-I admitted that aside from the 4 letter words, I really didn’t. She said then doesn’t it make more sense to not read that until you are old enough to understand it, and of course it did make sense. She also didn’t fire up my curiosity more by making a big deal of it-I always tried to handle my child’s curiosity about the inappropriate the same way-you get the control without the resentment and defiance-I would never let a kid on the internet unsupervised, with no parental controls activated-that is downright dangerous.

In my teens, I listened to all the psychedelic rock, the heavy metal, etc-I’m still a head banger-but I didn’t do drugs or any of that-neither did my cub-we never tried to be the cub’s friends-we were always her parents, period-if you are their friend, you will not have the respect to prompt good behavior...

I don’t believe in censorship-as an adult, I can read what I choose, see whatever TV show I choose-in English or Spanish-but that is not age appropriate material for someone younger than 14-16, depending on how much the parents had told them about adult issues-I wouldn’t even let a younger teen read a lot of Bernard Cornwell’s novels-they are too explicit for younger teens and kids...

My father was brought up to respect women and treat a wife as an equal, and he always did so-my 1st husband was brought up that way, too-also on a ranch, with loving parents-as a comp case manager, I’ve always told clients who whined about not having a supportive enough family that there is no such thing as a perfect, fully functional family-what works for one might be the worst idea ever for another one...
