Judge grants bail to Bel Air boy, 16, charged with sexual assault

[sigmalady]

I think you and I are the only ones to see this.
Her story, or I should say, her story as told in the article doesn't make sense to me.
That being said, it's still possible that a (serious) crime was committed.
It just didn't happen they was either she or the article said it happened.
There's more to this story. It's not neccessarily any of my business but I also don't think I can fairly make a judgement with what we're told.

I agree with you.

Question is, what reason would the victim have for lying about the attack? If things happened the way she claims, she should have plenty of bruises to prove it. By his picture, Lori looks like he may be suffering from "little man" syndrome needing a way to prove he's a tough guy by beating down and assaulting a girl. If guilty, he needs to get what he deserves...jail time with Bubba.

What is with kids these days? Playing too many video games? Wait, I know, too much sugar.

Here's the part I have trouble believe happening the way the story say (which is apparantly her claim):

..."She was at the home of a friend of a friend, in which she anticipated it to be a small gathering," Carver said about the allegations against Lori, which took place in the 1900 block of Hill View Drive. "It quickly turned into much more."

"The victim became uncomfortable and went downstairs," Carver continued, noting the room was dark. "She was struck from behind, pushed to the ground by an individual who at that time [she] didn't know who it was."...

When was the last time you decided to go "downstairs in the dark when you felt uncomfortable at a 'friend of a friends' house?
Obviously she knew it was dark. It might make a little more sense if the story said that while she was downstairs someone turned out the lights (and it's possible that's what happened).
You would think that if she was going downstairs the first thing she would've done was turn the light on. All staircases that I know of have light switch at the top of the stairs and on the bottom of the stairs.
If this was at night how would she have any idea where she was going or what might be in her was if it was dark and she was in the downstairs of a house she's never been in. I have trouble navigating my downstairs at night and I know where everything is.
Ideas like "spin the bottle" and her "changing her mind" come to mind when I hear her story. Again that doesn't mean she wasn't assulted or a crime wasn't committed or that it was her fault but there just more to this story. It doesn't make sense. It's not what normal people would do.

I can understand how you came to your conclusion.

Remember the McMartin sex trial where the family was asrrested as the victims told the jury the were moved underground across LA to take part in child sacrifices and the jury bought this. That was crazy.

When you can accuse anyone without evidence and you are arrested and have no recourse against the accuser that is wrong.

I know of an elderly man with money who was targeted by a mother and young daughter because they wanted his money. The police arrested him on their word only and it ruined is life. The charges were dropped after they found no evidence but the damage was done.

The biggest problem is there is no recourse against the accusers.

Why do you keep deleting your post and then post the exact same message? (I know why--you want to bump your thread without appearing to bump it.)

All with the basically the same message.

lol, that's what ravenchamp used to do all the time ........

but back to the topic, innocent until proven guilty and he deserves a fair trial .....

[Pigdog]

wow, check out the comments on the story. it sounds like the victim has a history of false allegations of sexual assault....

Like I said it is easy to accuse and with no PC an arrest can be made. The law protects the accuser which is crazy.

There has to be accountability on both sides rather than witch hunts.

The reason they give for not prosecuting false accusations is they would rather ruin an innocent man's life then to discourage a woman from making a legitimate accusation of rape. Like somehow a woman getting prosecuted for a false accusation would discourage someone from making a legitimate accusation. Its all BS.

[demopublican]

I would be shocked if they ever even take this to trial.

I can understand how you came to your conclusion.

we shouldn't come to any conclusion, remember the Duke rape case and Tawana Brawley where people were up in arms about it until it was proven it was just a bunch of lies by crazy accusers. Rev Al made an A$& of himself believing Tawana Brawley and those 88 Duke professors are now known as complete fools, so let's not be like them and make any assumptions.

This may have been resolved out of court.

This may have been resolved out of court.

This is a criminal case and is now before the Circuit Court of Maryland for Harford County. There will be a reverse waiver hearing on 14 February to move this to juvenile court. It's still an active case.
