Boy, 15, charged with 2 rapes in Kent
KENT, Wash. — King County prosecutors filed rape and kidnapping charges Wednesday against a 15-year-old boy accused of raping two teenage girls over the Halloween weekend in Kent.
The victims, ages 17 and 19, were both attacked after they got off buses. A young man riding a bike said he had a gun and forced them into secluded areas where they were raped.
Investigators identified a suspect and arrested the 15-year-old Monday at Kentwood High School. Charging papers say DNA evidence matched him to the attacks.
Prosecutors are seeking to try him as an adult.

Don't bother clicking on the link...there isn't much more to read.
Holy Crap, why would you not charge this turd as an adult. It's hard to pick a much more grown-up male(hence, ADULT) crime than Rape, so yes...try him as an adult, and put him in the GROUND!!!!!! What? Rape isn't a capital crime? Lame. So, instead, he is going to be in jail on my tax money for 35 years. Yay.
We are so lame as a society.
Arm your girls. When you're not around to protect them, chances are the law wont't be there either. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI intend to. When I first read the article, I almost thought that this kid raped them both at the same time...and I almost got mad at the girls. If two girls in their late teens had allowed a 15-year old kid to rape them at the same time...,I would have had questions.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that I am able to instill a 'not going down without a fight' attitude in my girls. I know a lot of women's safety folks say 'Don't struggle'...to me, that's bull.
It's easy to speak in hypothetical's, but...I would rather one of my girls risk serious injury/death but take the guy down with them,(or at least mark them up!) then go down without a fight.
Yeah, this is why my girls are going to have pocketknives when they start going places without me. I'm not sure if it's legal, but I'd rather argue the issue in court than have to take them to get a rape kit done.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Sabra. My wife has a cute little Kershaw Chive...only like a 1.5 inch blade, but as sharp as a razor, and it disapears pants pockets, or a fist.
ReplyDeleteMore than enough to surprise someone BAD when they think they have an easy victim. I'm more than willing to tolerate the idea of one of my girls being suspended a week from school in some stupid display of Zero Tolerance, if it means they can fight back...
