GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- A story about a white man urinating on a 5-year-old black child and calling her a racial slur was fabricated, police said.
Grand Rapids police and prosecutors late Friday, Aug. 24 said they determined the story was not valid and said no charges would be issued against a 60-year-old man arrested following the initial report on Wednesday.
Police said several children, all 7 or younger, were playing together sometime before 6 p.m. Wednesday when one of the children urinated on the 5-year-old girl.
Kent County prosecutors said the parents of the children, in talking with them, ultimately determined the children "concocted the story to avoid trouble."
"We appreciate the conscientiousness of the parents in bringing the matter to the attention of the police, and continuing to ask their children questions as new evidence was obtained," prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said the 60--year-old man had a "verifiable alibi" from other people who vouched for his whereabouts.
The allegations, when first reported late Wednesday, caused concern across the community and NAACP leaders on Friday said the incident should be considered both a hate crime and sex assault.
In the initial report, the children told police they were playing hide-and-go-seek along Courtney Street NW, just west of Tamarack Avenue, when a man urinated on the girl through a chain-link fence.
The suspect was a person who lived in the neighborhood and did odd jobs.
"The community and members of the media were understandably interested and concerned about the allegations, Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker said.
"But this is a prime example of why it's so important to wait until all the evidence has been gathered and the criminal investigation has been completed before jumping to any conclusions," he said.
Becker said the children involved with making the complaint were first interviewed by trained specialists with the Children's Advocacy Center, but they didn't admit the truth until later when their parents talked with them further.
Says a lot about trained specialists who interviewed the children....nothing but scammers. Same specialists they put in the schools....worthless.
I can imagine only one creeper who did that.
“”The community and members of the media were understandably interested...”
Sure, it would fit their narrative. Notice how they are not so interested in real crimes, such as murder and rape committed by blacks against whites.
Here is uncomfortable truth, white people don’t really hang around or live around blacks. Even in NYC, whites fake being diverse. In reality they’re not close to other ethnic groups outside of casually associating with black or brown people at a bar/restaurant or some social event like a street art fair.
Yet they like to blabber on about and pat themselves on the back for being culturally diverse.
It always makes me chuckle when the media breathlessly reports stories about white people supposedly going to black areas and spray painting slurs on their houses or grabbing them off the street and peeing on them.
Like, no. We try not to deal with people who hate us unless we have to, and we’re not taking out time in between going to work and being with our families to worry about screwing with blacks, Hispanics or Muslims.
Most people just want to be left alone to live their lives.
please do make a list.
if WE here on FR are falling for the leftist pushed propaganda, then there is no hope for our country.
GRAND RAPIDS, MI — A story about a white man urinating on a 5-year-old black child and calling her a racial slur was fabricated, police said. “
UNFRICKING REAL!
I heard this story a few days ago (a huge story here), and was horrified that a man would do that to a child. It was somewhat believable because the west side of Grand Rapids has a bit of a reputation for people that like to toss back on the booze, so I totally believed that some grizzly old dude that had a few too many would do something like this. Later info came out that the man was severely mentally ill too.
As far as the racial angle is concerned, I dont really think people were as fixated on that as they were on that we all just thought the guy was either a drunk or just mentally ill and old.
But this guy was arrested over this, and it was a LIE! That makes me even madder than if it was actually all real!
West-siders... That place cant be gentrified quick enough.
“Let those CReepers who called for legal and extralegal penalties to be visited upon the falsely accused now post their contrition.”
It’s our sad version of “listen and believe”. A child’s words against an adult man’s.
In this case, however, the guy who was accused did have a sort of ... um, let’s see ... questionable background with some things? I think, anyway.
I saw an earlier FR thread on this, and there was NOBODY on the thread, questioning what the little kid said.
That was sad, but there was something, that people were not ready to give the guy the usual defense.
I think anyway. Not sure, I don’t know the whole, real story.
Nice value system there on the five year old and they even knew it was wrong enough to make up an elaborate story
Its irrevelant.
He is a non-compliant registered sex offender however the part about the racial slur should have tipped everyone off here that it was a hoax
They teach them early now.
This is a prime example of Black Privilege, and White Submission. The White is automatically assumed to be guilty.
If the innocent man did not have a verifiable “alibi” he would now be ruined, disgraced, and thrown in jail for the crime of being White.
... what seemed odd to me is that she was soaked in urine. Huh? It seems to me her first reaction would have been to move and run.
Of course, it’s equally as weird that she stood there and let the boy(s) pee on her that way.
Unless there was one or two more boys that held her down while the other one peed on her
the article says he does “odd jobs” around the town. Who’s gonna trust him? He’s always gonna have the stink, no pun intended.
Manufacturerd Hate is gettibg younger and younger
Yep, I think hes a dead man, if he stays around there. I wonder if the dude cursed out all concerned individuals? Like, I told you stupid MOFOs this was all BS. I dont know, but I wonder if they just grabbed the first white dude they saw on the street, or is he one of the usual suspects, who gets arrested, every time something happens? I am so cynical of the FBI, DOJ, and others, that I wouldnt doubt it for a second.
