Did you, or your son, report the rape?
oh yes, we did. and it only took a year and a half for the detective to file a report. after i wrote a four page letter to the mayor, chief of police, councilman, prosecutor, and a tv station here in toledo. the only one who responded was the pros. office. amazing how fast the report was completed after that. but the judge let the guy out on bond with an ankle bracelet attached to him. big deal. he's ordered to stay elsewhere until after the trial but the 23 yr old guy is staying with his fiancee (16 yr old girl pregnant w/his baby) and her parents only a few short blocks away. these cops in toledo aren't going to look too good after tonight because primetime is airing a segment on 2 teenage girls who were found after being reported missing and when the parents went to get these girls they called 911 seven times and it took the cops 93 mins to help these poor people. the local tv crew beat the cops there. we don't seem to get a fair shake here in toledhole
turn the guy in anonymously for impregnating the 16 year old. that will be 2 sex offenses, he should go to prison.
the age of consent is 16 in ohio, so unless she, her mom, or her dad were upset, i don't think anyone would give a crap. today my son met with the prosecutor and they want to plea it down to AGGRAVATED ASSAULT! 5 years probation! i am seeking out some sort of legal counsel because everyone i've talked to can't see how this is not winnable. i guess it's true that it's either who you know or how much dough. the parents have two seperate lawyers for their baby. i say screw the plea and let mommy & daddy keep shelling out the bucks for a nice, long trial. we'll see what another lawyer thinks...
