Family Shames 8 Year Old Rape Victim
Saturday, July 25th, 2009It is horrifying enough that 4 young boys are so lacking in basic humanity that they would lure a girl to a shed to rape her, but to have her own dad blame and shame her is beyond comprehension. Apparently, the victim’s family is from West Africa and that is the custom in that third world hell hole. But guess, what, dad, you’re in America.

Officers responding to a report of hysterical screams found an 8-year-old girl partially clothed and four boys, barely in their teens, running from an empty shed.
The boys, ages 9 to 14, face charges ranging from sexual assault to kidnapping, police said Thursday. Authorities in Phoenix say it’s one of the most horrific cases they’ve ever seen.
Investigators said the boys lured the girl to an empty shed on July 16 under the pretense of offering her gum. The boys then held the girl down while they took turns raping her, police said.
“She was brutally sexually assaulted for a period of about 10 to 15 minutes,” police Sgt. Andy Hill said.
The 14-year-old boy was charged Wednesday as an adult with two counts of sexual assault and kidnapping, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said. He appeared in court Thursday and was being held without bond. He does not yet have a defense lawyer.
The other boys — ages 9, 10, and 13 — were charged as juveniles with sexual assault. The 10- and 13-year-old boys also were charged with kidnapping, the office said Thursday.
“This is a deeply disturbing case that has gripped our community,” Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said. “Our office will seek justice for the young victim in this heartrending situation.”
The outrage over the allegations has intensified when police said the girl’s parents criticized her after the attack and blamed her for bringing shame on the family….
