Ohio AG: A 10-Year-Old Rape Victim Can Still Get an Abortion in Ohio (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost (R) stated that Ohio’s abortion law “has a medical emergency exception, broader than just the life of the mother.” And that even if the story about a 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio having to travel to Indiana to obtain an abortion is true, “she did not have to leave Ohio to find treatment.” Yost also said that if the story is true, the original doctor in Ohio who treated the victim committed a crime by failing to report the story despite being a mandated reporter.

In addition to stating that he hasn’t heard anything from local law enforcement about anyone investigating a crime like this and stating the state crime lab has “no case request for analysis that looks anything like this.” Yost addressed what would happen if the story turns out to be true.

Oscar-Winning Hollywood Producer Accused of Raping Foreign Woman for Days, Flying, and Abandoning Her at a Small Airport

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police in the southern Italian city of Brindisi say the British woman who has accused Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis of brutal rape has injuries consistent with her allegations. “I was raped for days,” the woman told investigating prosecutor Antonio Negro, according to a summary of the arrest document relayed to The Daily Beast. “We were supposed to work together, but instead he raped me from Sunday evening to Wednesday.”

The woman, who Negro’s office says holds a British passport, was left last Wednesday before dawn by the director outside the Brindisi airport in the province of Puglia, which sits at the heel of Italy’s boot, according to her testimony to police. She says she did not have an airline ticket, but that he gave her money to buy one when the airport opened, according to the prosecutor’s office.

The prosecutor’s office says the woman was discovered cowering in a corner of the small airport by a flight attendant who immediately alerted authorities. “She was destroyed,” the attendant told police, according to the initial investigative document. “She spoke with difficulty.”

After an initial medical examination at the airport health clinic, she was taken to the hospital for treatment in line with Italy’s “pink protocol” for rape victims, which includes psychological counseling. The prosecutor’s office says she “suffered repeated non-consenting sexual assaults” including one so violent she was “forced to seek medical attention.”

That horrific event is apparently what led to the end of her ordeal, when she says Haggis drove her to the airport in the early hours of Wednesday. The medical examiner’s report says that she was left incapable of having sex from the violence.

Accused Serial Rapist Released on $10k Bond in Alaska, Then Arraigned for 9th Rape

/0 Comments/in , /by

We’re accustomed to seeing violent criminals released on little or no bond in New York, Chicago, and California, but evidently, this jailbreak is occurring even in Alaska. The cases seem to get worse as time goes on, as political momentum among the judges and politicians tilts even further to the criminals. Such is the case of Kayshawn Dyett.

In May 2018, Dyett was arrested for first-degree rape after two women independently accused him of rape on the same day in April. In what has become a growing jailbreak epidemic in all 50 states, Dyett was released on just $5,000 bond in July of that year, even though police believed there were more victims. He was placed under house arrest with an ankle monitor, but these monitors have been proven unreliable in deterring violent criminals.

Shortly after his release, six more women came forward with similar rape accusations, and Dyett was indicted on a total of 12 rape charges against eight women. According to KTVA, “Some of Dyett’s accusers testified at a bail hearing, imploring the court to keep Dyett in custody, fearing for their safety and the safety of others.” Under normal circumstances, a man like this would be held without bail or on over $1 million cash bail, yet prosecutors only asked for $100,000. The defense attorney accused the women of being part of the #MeToo exploitation and implored the judge to keep the bail at $5,000. Anchorage Superior Court Judge Kevin Saxby set Dyett free on just $10,000 bail. He even allowed Dyett to stay out of jail for two additional weeks so he could come up with the paltry sum, ultimately enabling him to remain out on the streets for an entire additional year, despite the indictments for eight separate rapes.

As KTVA reports, according to court documents, Dyett violated the terms of his bail twice in recent months, including the second time last month when he met the ninth alleged victim.

A different judge, Michael Wolverton, responded in September by increasing his bail … by $1,000. Dyett easily paid the sum. 15 days later, on October 10, 2019, Dyett is accused of raping and strangling a ninth victim in a manner consistent with the other cases.

At last Thursday’s arraignment, Judge Patrick McKay set the new cash bail at $500,000, which is still historically low for one accused of such heinous crimes.

As I chronicled in my profile of New York’s abolish-bail policies, the problem with releasing dangerous criminals pretrial, often for years, is not just the fact that it provides them with more opportunities to victimize and commit more crimes. It makes it hard to convict them for the first crime(s), because a successful conviction hinges upon testimony from victims and witnesses. They are scared enough to come forward even with the criminal locked up. Imagine this man out on the streets with the rape victims knowing that they are targets with no protection. Sadly, this is done by design – it’s a feature, not a bug, of the “bail reform” agenda – for the purpose of reducing the prison population at all costs.

It’s a demonstratable lie that the move to reduce jail time pretrial and prison time post-conviction is only for “first-time, non-violent, low-level” criminals. This “reform” is applied to the worst criminals and repeat offenders imaginable, including accused serial rapists like Dyett. And no, ankle monitors are not the answer, especially as local police departments have an increasing caseload of so many violent prisoners to monitor – both pretrial bond offenders and post-conviction offenders who get placed on probation instead of serving more time. In Chicago, for example, there are only 100 cops to watch over the parole of 2,000 mainly violent felons.

Just last week, in Washington County, Oregon, a man charged with 18 brutal child sex offenses who was let out on bail cut off his ankle monitor and remains at large. Josiah Rosales, 29, was arrested on numerous rape charges against children in July, but was only required to post 10 percent of his $1.25 million bail in September, after which he was released with a GPS-tracking ankle monitor.

Yet leftist Democrats and Republicans in almost every state think not enough criminals are let out. Harris County, Texas, is in the process of getting rid of cash bail for most people arrested, including for violating protective orders and assault.

At a hearing this Monday in Harris County on the issue of abolishing bail for all misdemeanors, Houston Police Officers’ Union attorney Mary Nan Huffman used the example of a woman who found a man who was stalking her outside her home window holding a knife in one hand and his genitals in the other while starring at her. That sounds pretty scary, but under the plan to abolish bail, this man would be released after being booked. Huffman said, “Without a bond hearing, no one would know his criminal history, how he’s committed rapes and been in and out of prison.”

There is further concern from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that such policies will lead to the release of criminal aliens before ICE is able to apprehend them. This is already happening in the blue states, in one of the many ways that jailbreak merges with sanctuary policies to create one massive public safety nightmare.

This movement to dismantle criminal justice with no regard for public safety and victims of crime is sickening, but it’s quietly gaining steam without the public even being aware of it. President Trump is the only one who has the megaphone to stop it in its tracks. He’s already given the “abolish prison” crowd a victory with the ridiculous First Step Act. Now it’s time for him to fulfill his promise to be tough on crime and actually begin fighting back against the jailbreak movement.

All-Female Court Panel Overturns Rape Conviction Because Woman Is Too Ugly to Be Credible Victim

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three female judges in an appeals court in Italy overturned a 2015 rape conviction in part because the victim in question was deemed too ugly to have been raped. The alleged victim, then 20 years old, was not found to be a credible rape victim because she was too unattractive and “masculine,” according to the three female judges. The Daily Mail reports:

Two Peruvian men were initially convicted of the 2015 rape of a Peruvian woman in Ancona, but the Italian appeals court overturned the verdict and absolved them, finding that she was not a credible witness. In part of the ruling, the court noted that the suspects had found her unattractive and too “masculine” to be a credible rape victim.

The conviction was overturned by an all-female panel in 2017 despite medics reportedly claiming the woman’s injuries were consistent with rape. The details concerning the reasoning behind the overturned conviction only became public earlier this month, however, according to The Daily Mail. “The Court of Cassation said Wednesday its own reasons for ordering the retrial will be issued next month,” noted the outlet. . .

The lawyer said the judges who overturned the conviction claimed his client was not credible because the men she accused “didn’t find her attractive, she was too masculine.”

Molinaro also said that the female judges further supported their ruling by noting that one of the accused men “saved the woman’s number in his phone as ‘Viking,’ and stated that the ‘photograph present in her file would appear to confirm this,’” CNN reports.

Harvey Weinstein Indicted on Rape Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hours after Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer said the producer would not testify before a grand jury, the same panel has now indicted the disgraced Oscar winner on two sets of rape charges and a sex crime charge.

“A Grand Jury has voted to indict Harvey Weinstein on charges of Rape in the First and Third Degrees, and Criminal Sexual Act in the First Degree,” Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said this afternoon. (Read the two-page indictment here, but be warned there are graphic descriptions of sex acts in it.) . . .

On Friday, Weinstein did the perp walk after surrendering himself to the NYPD. He was arrested and charged with two counts of rape (one involving force) as well as a criminal sexual act in the first degree, for alleged assaults against two women that occurred in 2013 and 2004 — the same charges the indictment just slapped down.

While the D.A. has been pecked at for moving too slow on the material the NYPD handed over against the much accused Weinstein, the grand jury has quietly been sitting for several weeks and issuing subpoenas. That process has now been unleashed.

“This indictment brings the defendant another step closer to accountability for the crimes of violence with which he is now charged,” Vance said of the latest legal move against the producer. “Our office will try this case not in the press, but in the courtroom where it belongs. The defendant’s recent assault on the integrity of the survivors and the legal process is predictable. We are confident that when the jury hears the evidence, it will reject these attacks out of hand.” (Read more from “Harvey Weinstein Indicted on Rape Charges” HERE)

Accuser Recants: Two Men Wrongfully Convicted of Rape Exonerated 26 Years Later

/0 Comments/in , /by

A long 26 years later, two men wrongfully convicted of rape were finally exonerated on Monday in a Manhattan Supreme Court after the accuser admitted the assault “never happened.”

In 1991, Van Dyke Perry and Gregory Counts were convicted of the kidnaping and rape of an unidentified woman in Harlem despite a lack of physical evidence. Perry spent 11 years behind bars and Counts served 26 years.

The woman claimed she was kidnapped at knife-point and raped in a car by three black men near her Queens residence. But there was no physical evidence to support her accusations concerning Perry and Counts; the semen collected after the alleged rape did not match the accused. However, as noted by Vibe, the prosecution relied on the “inconsistent testimony” of the accuser, who was a recovering crack addict. Moreover, as pointed out by the defense at the time, the woman’s then-boyfriend was wanted by authorities for shooting Perry two months before the alleged incident.

In April, the accused admitted to authorities and the New York Innocence Project that she lied about the rape. It “never happened,” she confessed, adding that she was on drugs at the time and pressured by her then-boyfriend to lie . . .

After the men had their convictions vacated in court, an emotional Counts amazingly expressed his forgiveness for the woman who wrongfully accused him of rape; the woman responsible for putting him behind bars for 26 long years.

Producer for Lena Dunham’s Show ‘Girls’ Accused of Rape

/0 Comments/in , /by

Murray Miller, a producer on the show “Girls,” is being accused of raping a 17-year-old girl in 2012.

According to a report from The Wrap, actress Aurora Perrineau filed a report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department alleging that Miller raped her when she was 17 years old and he was 35 years old.

Perrineau wrote in the statement that at Murray’s home, she “woke up in Murray’s bed naked. He was on top of me having sexual intercourse with me. At no time did I consent to any sexual contact with Murray.”

Miller denies the reports, and his lawyer gave a statement to The Wrap, writing, “After being contacted several weeks ago by lawyers who – on Ms. Perrineau’s behalf – sought substantial monetary damages from him, Mr. Miller’s legal team gathered overwhelming evidence directly contradicting these false and offensive claims.” (Read more from “Producer for Lena Dunham’s Show ‘Girls’ Accused of Rape” HERE)

Illegal ‘Dreamer’ Accused of Raping Woman

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A 23-year-old DREAMer in Washington state is accused of brutally raping a 19-year-old woman in her apartment complex’s gym and leaving her with severe facial injuries — including a broken jaw and dangling ear.

The woman ended up stumbling home with missing teeth, a bloody head and wearing only a black tank top, according to court documents obtained by Fox News. She was working out in the gym in Burien, a Seattle suburb, before the June 25 assault and did not know her attacker, police said.

Salvador Diaz-Garcia, an illegal immigrant who was a recipient of Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, is now facing second-degree assault and rape charges in the vicious attack. He also faces child molestation charges for allegedly assaulting a 14-year-old the same day the rape occurred.

His DACA status has been revoked and he now may face possible deportation, officials said. (Read more from “Illegal ‘Dreamer’ Accused of Raping Woman” HERE)

Immigrants Charged in Rape of Girl as Rockville Debates Becoming Sanctuary City

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rockville, Md., the city home to the recent immigrant high school rape scandal, is considering declaring itself a sanctuary city to hide illegals.

Although Rockville police have had a long-standing policy neither to question suspected illegals about their immigration status, or to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, the city is now considering the process of formalizing that informal standard by becoming a sanctuary city.

Rockville City Councilmember Julie Palakovich Carr introduced an ordinance in early March in response to President Donald Trump’s pledge to beat back illegal immigration.

Carr forwarded the ordinance at a hearing March 6 overflowing with local residents, including those in favor of turning Rockville into an official sanctuary city, and those vehemently against.

But the discussion has now become much more complicated, as recently, two immigrants, Henry E. Sanchez from Guatemala, and Jose O. Montano, from El Salvador, were charged Thursday for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl at Rockville High School.

I Was Raped. But I Decided to Have My Baby Because, Like Me, She Was Innocent

/0 Comments/in , /by

My name is Julia and I was raped at 14 years old by a friend of the family who we all thought was trustworthy.

I remember when I found out I was pregnant and that the baby was the product of the most horrible crime that a woman can undergo. I remember bursting in tears of despair, fear, because I was only 14. At that age I had had no boyfriend, knew nothing about babies or pregnancy, never got involved in anything about that.

But then the only social media I knew was Facebook and one day by chance I came across this Salvar El 1 page (Save The 1 Spanish Facebook page) and I read many testimonies that touched my heart in a very deep way. I had never thought of abortion but perhaps I had considered giving that baby up for adoption because I did not feel ready to face motherhood being so young. I remember a quote I read that made very clear that if I was a victim of a crime, I wouldn’t become guilty of another one and I decided to have my baby and be a mother forever.

Despise the fact of being just a child myself, I decided to have my baby because, like me, she was innocent and she didn’t have to carry the guilt of the aggressor who, eventually, is the one who deserves being punished.

My beautiful baby girl was born a few days after I turned 15. Her name is Mia Victoria and I love her more than anything else on earth. She is one month and a few days old, and being myself so young, I start learning how to be a mother. (Read more from “I Was Raped.
