I have first hand experience with these types of cases in Ohio, and you have no idea what you're talking about. Abortion providers work with mothers in these cases to make sure that the mother's home situation is not disrupted.Ken wrote: ↑Fri Jul 15, 2022 2:57 pm Again, there is no evidence for this assertion. You are referencing the report of abuse that was made by the doctor in Indiana in which the doctor erroneously estimated the age of the rapist as 17. Which is the exact same report that a couple posts upstream you falsely claimed that the doctor never made.
But this report by the doctor in Indiana happened two weeks after the rape was reported to social services and the police in Ohio and there is no evidence that the mother misreported it to Ohio authorities. And there is no evidence that the Ohio police were not investigating because they thought that the rapist was underage. It did apparently take them a while to investigate, but there is no evidence this was due to the age of the rapist. And, in any event, the rape of a 10 year old by a 17 year old is clearly a felony crime in Ohio under Ohio's statutory rape laws. Under Ohio law, any sexual contact with a minor under the age of 13 is considered statutory rape. If the age difference is less than 4 years then it is a misdemeanor, and if it is more than 4 years it is a felony. So even if the rapist was actually age 17 this would still have been a felony rape case regardless of the circumstances since it would be a 7 year age difference.
Perhaps the rape of 10 year old Hispanic girls is not of pressing importance to the police in Columbus and that is why it took them so long to investigate. Perhaps it took this case breaking into the national news to light a fire under them and get them to do their jobs. That is a more plausible narrative frankly. We don't actually know because they aren't saying.
I cannot go into further detail.
