This must have been a very difficult ordeal for him. I hope he is getting some counseling to help him through it all. This is the sort of thing that could scar him for life. |
It IS true that some states have this law. And the boy might have to face this down the road should he be exonerated from prison. Plus he'll be ordered to stay away from the girl he savagely mauled and raped.
There's a case where another then-13-year-old boy had forced his 11-year-old cousin into having sex with him. He's now 18, but he has to register himself as a sex offender.
He (Sherman) also knocked down little old ladies, stealing their purses and groceries. This kid is bad to the phone, didn't care who he hurt or terrorized and he backed down from NO ONE!!
Actually, Sherman is 15 now. He committed the crime about two years ago. The case is branded as 1st-degree assault - just short of murdering the girl. The sexual assault part was thrown out.
Further reseach, after having Googled his name, shows that he once offered an 11-year-old girl $50.00 to have sex with him. When the girls's brother had intercepted, Sherman Jr. threw him to the ground! His dad also is no stranger to being behind bars. In fact, they both were there at the same time before Sherman Sr. posted his own bail and was let go.
Nice guy, hey? Didn't even try to help his own son!! Who turned this boy onto sex at such an unlawful age? Sounds like he was molested by someone and then when he wanted to be with a girl, he was pulling out all stops to get what he wanted - sex!
