Girl, 13, admits sex with 7 wasn't forced

A 13-year-old girl who told Zion police she was raped by seven boys in an apartment complex laundry room last month has recanted her original statement that she was forced to engage in the sexual activity.

Authorities are only pursuing charges against the eldest boy involved, who at 17 can be prosecuted as an adult for having sexual contact with a minor, Zion Police Chief Doug Malcolm said in a statement.

No other charges will be filed. The youngest boy linked to the April 19 incident in the 2600 block of Gabriel Avenue is 12.

The boys were interviewed separately and described in detail the consensual sexual acts and denied any use of force, police said. Physical evidence also showed there was no coercion, according to Malcolm.

I absolutely hate when someone cries rape and hasn't been! It only making it harder for women (and men!) who have been sexually abused to step forward, and to get a conviction.

I hope this child is in counseling a LONG time!!

She's 13, not an adult. I think we need to remember that. It's why it's statuatory rape because the child is not old enough to give consent.

The rest of them were kids too. Just because she has a vagina, she doesn't get to claim rape.

Yeah.


This is what happens when good girls have bad dads or no dad and don't know that guys will just use them and not really love them and she will probably never know true love, at least not without lots of help.


This makes me sadder every time it gets bumped.

It bothers me that folks assume that women have bad fathers or no fathers at all. I know women who had very involved fathers, and they still were unable to make good relationship choices. While there may be a correlation between father influence and self-esteem, it isn't a causation.

Speaking of false accusations, here's an interesting article in the KC Star today.

Which is prime reason why I so despise those who falsely cry rape.
