Suburban Atlanta Police Charge 3 Boys, Ages 8 and 9, With Rape, Kidnap of Girl, 11
Monday, November 19, 2007
ACWORTH, Ga. — Three boys ages 8 and 9 are under arrest for allegedly raping an 11-year-old girl in the woods near an apartment complex, police say.
The girl's mother reported the alleged rape Sunday, leading authorities to charge the boys with rape, kidnapping and false imprisonment charges.
The victim alleges that she was playing with the boys in the yard when they took her into the woods against her will and one of the boys raped her, said Acworth police Capt. Wayne Dennard.
"The juvenile victim stated that an 8-year-old boy and two 9-year-old boys that she had been playing with earlier pulled her into a wooded area, where one of the boys raped her," Dennard said.
The three boys — an 8-year-old and two 9-year-olds — were charged with rape, kidnapping, false imprisonment and sexual assault, Dennard said. They were due in juvenile court Monday afternoon. Their names were being withheld because of their age.
Acworth Police Chief Mike Wilkie said one of the boys was accused of threatening to hit the girl with a rock before the assault occurred.
Wilkie also said the investigation is "far from over," and investigators are looking into claims that after the incident, the girl talked about it with her friends at a slumber party.
The father of the 8-year-old boy said his son had been falsely accused. Any sexual activity was consensual, and the girl accused her playmates only after her parents had learned she had sexual relations, said Brandon LeBlanc.
"There was no violence involved," LeBlanc said. "This is a clear case of a girl who didn't want to get in trouble with her parents."
He added, "In order to save her hide, she tried to blame it on rape."
The girl's mother, however, told WGCL TV in Atlanta, "They do need to be taught a lesson because if they do it to her, they could do it to somebody else," the victim's mother said. "And who knows when they become teenagers what they can do to other girls."
The incident involves children from a working class apartment complex on the northern outskirts of metro Atlanta.
LeBlanc said the kids all played together, biking or throwing a ball around in the apartment complex's parking lot.
He said his son is a third grader at a local Baptist school who loves the Atlanta Falcons and is a batboy for his church's softball league.
Cobb County District Attorney Pat Head said the boys could not be charged with felony crimes because of their age but could be tried for delinquent acts that could place them in a juvenile facility for up to five years.
Juvenile Court Judge A. Gregory Poole issued a gag order preventing the lawyers from commenting further.
Acworth, 30 miles northwest of Atlanta along the shores of Lake Allatoona, is a town of about 17,000.
Acworth police said their department has never before investigated allegations of rape where all the parties were this young.
"This wouldn't be normal anywhere, but especially not Acworth," Dennard said. _________________

Well, They said she was bragging about it at a slumber party and she might be claiming rape to hide the fact that she wanted it. Why would an 8 year old boy want something he possible never had ? It must not even feel that great at there age because there hormones aren't developed. They best take cation with this case. _________________ Join Reality Of It All!!!
on the one hand, she might have secretly been curious about sex or rape or stuff.
on the other hand, the boys might have been curious about sex and rape and stuff and may have attempted it on her.
well, what is more important here is the reformation of the erring party, not necessarily punishment. but yes, they ought to be punished.
wanna hear something much worse?
i dunno where it happened, but there was a young girl who got syphilis when she was raped. curing the syphilis was a very painful experience for her.
what kind of a beast could do that? _________________

If only we had executed them all before we kept investigating. Then true justice could have been served. Damn those 8 year old boys for maybe having consensual sex with a girl 2 years older than him. He must be tortured to death, to avenge the girl that is bragging about it!

She clearly said that, didn't she?
Quit bringing shit from another debate into others.

She said things about torturing people to death for rape. Under that type of punishment, this easily could have turned into a 'whoops, sorry we tortured your son to death for something that wasn't against the law' scenario. How much do you think we'd have to pay the family in compensation? More than it would have cost to feed him in prison? _________________

Since you apparently didn't get it,
"She clearly said that, didn't she?

That means to stop bringing in things said in other debates into this one, since that's stupid and makes it personal. Unless that's your goal, to make it personal. In which case, that doesn't belong in debates. Crystal?

You don't debate much, do you?
I'm tired of quoting myself, so here's something new:
What point is he making? She never said any such thing in this thread, so therefore, what is he "making a point of?" That he reads other threads as well? He's trying to run her down for something she said in another thread. Which has nothing to do with the topic.
it depends on who. i clearly stated that i didnt juveniles ought to be executed. nor did i say that people without evidence beyond reasonable doubt against them should be executed. _________________

You're a hoe?
And no, I don't know, because I can't comprehend any common sense out of that statement.
thats bringing shit from another debate into this. i clearly said that i wasnt for death penalty against juveniles. and i think i also made myself clear that we dont execute people unless there is EVIDENCE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT, like a videocamera or something (like those thingies they set up at the corner of every building). mistakes will be very minimal if we follow the beyond reasonable doubt thing, which i said, the court has to redefine because apparently, two witnesses suffices for evidence beyond reasonable doubt. _________________
