Wilde Lake High student charged with raping 14-year-old

[musicmd]

I have to agree. This kid was charged as an adult.

My guess is that this rape was particularly heinous and there is sufficient evidence to support the case. Interesting how people seem to be siding with the alleged rapist, rather than the victim. Given how this case is being dealt with, I'll trust that people are doing their jobs.

Every case is different. Just because some females have cried wolf, it doesn't mean every female will. I feel bad for this girl.

I am not taking sides, but you don't know what evidence they have. First, let the grand jury do their job. Being a drama queen is not cool.

Get. Help.

Obama care drop him.

Master Lori was initially held without bail. He went to bail review and again was ordered held without bail. That means he would not be able to get out of jail, even though one is innocent until proven guilty. These happened on 27 November 2012.

One week later on 3 December 2012, he went through an additional bail review at which time his bail was set at $25,000. However, prior to that he had to sit in jail for a week with no hope of getting out on bail.

So maybe you should wait until this case is a week old before you start talking about things you haven't apparently looked into. Did you attend the various bail hearings for both defendants? Do you have personal knowledge of the two cases? There may very well be different circumstances other than the race of the suspect (which appears to be what you are saying, although you seem to be reluctant to actually do so).

yuca simply stated what his guess was. That's hardly being a drama queen.

Did a grand jury in Florida actually determine that George Zimmerman was a racist, or did you come up with that on your own?

at which time his bail was set at $25,000

That is correct.

[Baltimatt]

That is correct.

Yes, but he sat in jail for almost ONE WEEK without the possibility of being bailed out. Maybe Master Jones will have something that will reduce his bail; perhaps additional evidence or something else.

[Informed Thinker]

This case is a baby and not even 72 hours old at this point. My reply did not state who is right or who was wrong. All we have is one side of a two-sided fold. I thought you were innocent until proven guilty, that obviously does not apply to certain groups just seeing how quickly conclusions are being drawn here.

If Mr.Jones was in Harford County and looked differently than Mr.Jones would not have received such a large bail. Mr.Jones bail is set at $500,000.00

In Bel Air a very similar act was claimed in December in which the young man received only a $25,000.00 bail but yet some believe the system is 100% Just. Carry On.

I would say the cases are not at all similar other than the fact they involve foks under the age of 18. In the Bel Air case the male is 16 in the Howard County case he is 17. We know the girl is 3 years younger in the Howard County Case and I am not sure the age of the Harford County case is known. Where the cases become very disimilar is where and time of day they occured. A party at night in a private residence is hardly commparable to a school during the day which is where parents send their kids assuming safety. This was a school and even if consensual would have been a violation of school and public policy. There is video tape corroborating parts of the girls story and the question is what other video evidence there is that may refute the boys story. What is the boys school and juvenile record? Also he has only lived there 5 months and if new to the county has limited ties and could be considered a flight risk.

The Wilde Lake High School junior accused of raping a 14-year-old freshman inside the school’s third-floor choir room told Howard County Police he had sexual contact with the girl, according to the statement of probable cause filed in Howard County District Court.

DeShawn Rasheed Jones, 17, of the 6000 block of Laurel Wreath Way in Columbia, faces second-degree rape, second-degree assault and false imprisonment charges in connection with the incident, which occurred during fourth period Monday, Feb. 4, according to the charging documents.

Any bets "DeShawn Rasheed Jones" is a Section-8 recipient?

I wouldn't take that bet. But I would bet that the victim is white. Any takers on that ?

Agenda met.

Thug supporters/sympathizers unite!

F off.
It's called a 'fair trial'.
I'm inclined to believe he did this because (from the article)her story is believable. She admitted the kissing was consensual but said he used force after that. He admits sexual contact, so at this point it's a "he said, she said" type case. However, they might have some evidence of force.

But here's the thing: if he is cleared (she confesses to lying, new evidence comes up that casts doubt it was noncon) or he wins at trial , people like you will continue to smear him. He's 17 and a minor. Nonetheless, he was accused of sex crime and so his name has to be smeared all over the place before a trial, minor or no. But do you think we'll be seeing HER name in print if it's found out or admitted by her that she lied? Heck no. The official reasons will be that she is a minor, and we don't want to 'scare victims from reporting'.

The double standard on this makes me sick. People can get lynched due to popular opinion inflamed by half-***** media stories. In any case either both names should be kept private prior to trial or neither name should be.

[CIB]

Half a million bail is pretty high for a simple "he said she said" case as you suggest. I would think there is some convincing evidence to support the charges that the judge considered when he set it.

No. The probable cause is that there is testimony and that both sides admit sexual contact. The offense charged is one of violence -forceful (not intoxicated or statutory)rape. You'd get the same bail or more based on the same amount of evidence and the charges proffered.

Edited to add: There's also two other charges including kidnapping (she alleges he detained her in the choir room - 'kidnapping' is a bit broader in legal meaning then in popular terminology). Each charge adds to the amount of bail. I will also add that I'm glad she reported right away. It makes it MUCH MUCH easier to collect evidence.

This is my concern.

An easy bet. Considering the County is majority white.

Wilde Lake High School has a 40% African American student population and 43% White/non-Hispanic.

Still awaiting ybnormal to pay on his initial bet. However, the younger generations are interracially dating now more than ever before so I doubt if you will receive takers on that.

[Jeebus]

The girl is going to need counseling after encountering such a violent thug rapist.

[Jeebus]

The student Deshawn Rasheed Jones has been indicted for 2nd Degree Rape (max 20 years in state prison) 2nd degree Assault (max 10 years in state prison), and Sodomy (max 10 years) by a grand jury yesterday.

He is being held on $500,000 bond.

[markh]

No we haven't. And there have been too many cases like this where the victim has recanted for me to form an opinion based on the information in this article.

The most expensive county to live in the state? Must be one heck of a lot of rich black people living in my county. NOT!
