FARMINGTON, Maine (AP) An eighth-grader accused of raping a mentally handicapped 51-year-old woman has been taken to a juvenile detention facility following a court hearing Monday.

The 14-year-old boy is charged with felony gross sexual assault for the alleged rape Saturday night, the Lewiston Sun Journal reported. The suspect was arrested early Sunday morning.

Love is SO blind. heh!

One guy was ask why he raped women. He said "Well, it's a WAY!"

Sick

Love is SO blind. heh!

I'm 51 years old and I don't find this amusing.

[OfByForThePeople]

A sick reaction if I ever heard one.

[Calico Cat]

I love black humor, SheLion, but I'll give you a figurative tap on the head for that comment. Not funny!

I could be wrong, but I think "jokes" like yours contribute to the rape of older people. I don't know how many times I've seen some smart-a$$ remark about how "needy" and "appreciative" older women are. Your comment falls right along into the same category.

More women need to carry guns.

Probably not. Farmington has its share of inbred trash.

Rape isn't love, you are sick.

[SheLion]

I can't imagine why you all think that I do not take this as something that is the most horrible act that can be perpetrated on a woman!

My remark was a "sarcastic" joke, "Love is So Blind.” Wouldn’t YOU agree that any 14-year-old male that would force a woman to have sex is sick? By my saying "love is so blind," I was being sarcastic about this idiot forcing himself on this woman.

If you all think that "I" condone this sort of thing, you all have another thought coming. I have been in Free Republic for over a year and never ever had anyone think of me as some kind of pervert. Half you I have never heard of!

One of the Somali migratory birds?

It's hard to tell.

But I want to thank you SO much for not flaming me and thinking I was making a big joke out of this like the other posters. I think you from the bottom of my heart!!!

Big Hugs! Your tops in MY book!

[SheLion]

Probably not. Farmington has its share of inbred trash.

I want to thank you too, for not flaming me like some of the other posters in here. You should know me enough to know that I would NEVER take this as a big joke.

Everyone else in Free Republic gets to post a thread similar like this, but when "I" do it, they come down on me. Go figure. This surely is NOT a joke to me. This is one sick kid! Thank you SO much, mlmr!!!

All women should carry guns and know how to use them then these type crimes will cease.

[Calico Cat]

"half of you I have never heard of"--what does THAT have to do with anything? Sorry we don't hit the same threads (except for the smoking-oriented ones).

Otherwise, I'll turn my figurative 'tap on the head' to a conciliatory handshake. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[SheLion]

Sorry for the misunderstanding

Calico Cat, I wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone in here to save my life. I know I do get fired up on the smoking threads, but that's only when some anti smoker comes in with useless information and hits my buttons! heh!

I, too, am sorry for the misunderstanding. Thank you for taking the time to write to me!

Big Hugs!!! Darlene

Somehow the Tweety and the "heh" made it sound like you were making light of the whole thing. A cartoon character and a lighthearted remark seem inappropriate. Just MHO. Let's drop it.
