Rochester High School student charged with rape

By Sharyn  L. Decker

Prosecutors filed charges yesterday against the now-former lifeguard from the Great Wolf Lodge accused of raping a young teenage girl whose family was staying at the hotel and indoor water park.

Nineteen-year-old Alex Eduardo Salazar is a senior at Rochester High School. The alleged victim is 14 years old.

Alex Eduardo Salazar

Salazar was arrested Tuesday afternoon at school and after his court appearance the next day was bailed out by his father.

Jaime Salazar Sr. said they were hiring an attorney today.

Salazar Sr. said he knows what the allegations are and his son has been very open with him.

It’s a totally different story, he said.

“I think it’s going to be a really tough case, but I think it’s going to be okay for him,” Salazar Sr. said. “There’s stuff she’s saying that’s not true.

“Hopefully that will come out in court.”

The younger Salazar is charged with second-degree rape as well as rape of a child in the third degree.

The second charge is based upon a victim who is age 14 or 15  – too young to give consent – with the perpetrator being at least 48 months older.

The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office has said the girl left willingly with Alex Salazar after his shift ended, the assault occurred in his car on a nearby roadside and that he dropped her back to hotel where she told her family. She had minor injuries, Lt. Greg Elwin said.

The Great Wolf Lodge is a family oriented destination resort in Grand Mound with an indoor water park for guests. Alex Salazar had been working there a little more than six months, according to his father.

Charging documents describe how the girl and her older sister befriended the lifeguard on Monday while in the water park and the sister gave him her phone number.

He texted her later and they arranged to meet; the sisters, another friend and he met in the parking lot and had a conversation in his car, charging documents go on to say.

They all went into the arcade and after some time passed, he and the girl went to his car. Surveillance video shows they left the hotel at 12:05 a.m.

The girl told a deputy she didn’t know he intended to drive away, and became uncomfortable; he parked on the side of a gravel road and they began to kiss, then they decided to get in the backseat, charging documents state.

She said she told him stop because it hurt when he put his hand between her legs, and stop because it hurt when he grabbed her by the hips, flipped her onto all fours and entered her behind, charging documents allege.

She told him she wanted to leave but he told her to stay; she said he then forced her to perform oral sex by pushing her down on him, the documents allege.

Alex Salazar told a deputy he stopped when she said to stop.

Charging documents state that when the deputy made contact with him at school, he began crying and said, “I messed up.”

He said he felt as if he had been pressured to have sex with her, the anal sex was her idea and she was pushing on him, the documents say.

She said she was afraid because he was so much bigger than her, and she tried to push him away at first by putting her hands on his chest and then pushing him away at his hips, charging documents state.

Charging documents state the girl felt something tear, and later found a large amount of blood in her underwear and shorts, and was still bleeding profusely when she got back to the hotel where she told her sister what happened.

Alex Salazar told the deputy he was informed she was 14, but didn’t believe her. The age difference between the two is approximately 50 months. She turns 15 tomorrow.

Alex Salazar is free on $20,000 bail and summonsed back to Thurston County Superior Court for his arraignment on May 28.

His father said his son lost his job. They met with the principal and he is back in school, and will be able to graduate next month, the senior Salazar said.

He described his son as a good student, a good kid who plays on the basketball team.

“He’s never into partying, he’s always telling kids not to drink or do drugs,” Jaime Salazar said.

    “How can sex NOT be a motivating factor in rape when it’s at the very heart of it?

    My sentiments exactly.

  2. Big Beefy J says:

    They are NOT both at fault in my humble opinion.

    The law CLEARLY STATES:

    RCW 9a.44.079

    Rape of a child in the third degree.

    (1) A person is guilty of rape of a child in the third degree when the person has sexual intercourse with another who is at least fourteen years old but less than sixteen years old and not married to the perpetrator and the perpetrator is at least forty-eight months older than the victim.

    (2) Rape of a child in the third degree is a class C felony.

    What law exactly did the 14 year-old girl break exactly? If none, then how can she be at “fault” and legally responsible for wrongdoing? Are you suggesting that she should take some kind of blame for her own rape, even though nowhere does the law allow for that?

    That’s a bit strange.

    For the record, i’m not trying to argue, i’m just trying to point out the unproductiveness in trying to assign blame to a clear “victim”.

    She wasn’t legally allowed to consent. At the same time, he was COMPLETELY FORBIDDEN to even be talking to her outside of his official capacity as ‘lifeguard’.

    If this young man is guilty as he’s being accused, then he clearly abused a position of authority in using it to befriend a young and naive young girl in order to have forcible sex with her.

    Sorry if this offends anyone. But the law is the law. I’m not saying the young man is guilty, but the victim is certainly not guilty of anything other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  3. no name says:

    “No means no, and stop means stop, even if you are in the middle of having sex.” What if he did???

    How likely is that to happen to a young guy who can barely keep it in his pants? Hormones run emotions, and that’s what is fueling this website. How many of us can just stop arguing over an issue that we feel passionate about? Just pull-out and leave? Even if he did pull out as soon as said stop (I don’t know if that happened or not) would she still say rape if he had tried to stop? She was okay with everything til she tore, then cried rape because it hurt and she didn’t think it would?

    Does a tattoo artist get fined when he starts a tat and the client realizes that it hurts? Or is it part of the “territory”?

    I certainly don’t think that this guy’s actions are okay, but I don’t think that he lured her out and raped her in the woods. She willingly left with him in his car, willingly crawled in the backseat, willingly fooled around…. only when it hurt did she say stop, and if he did, does that change the situation? To me, if he did stop, then she’s not as much “raped” but hurt over it. If he did NOT stop, then that’s splitting hairs too fine for me.

    Both are to blame. Keep it zipped up, stay with your parents, follow the rules. Sorry that you both now have reputations – now put it to good use and educate your friends and their friends before they are hurt too.

  4. Guilty Bystander says:

    I get your point, but I just can’t come around to saying that all sex is about control due to how the participants are positioned (I’m not really sure that’s what you meant). I do agree that subjugation is implicit in a lot of situations, like the dominatrix thing, but that’s still a matter of role-playing willingly entered into by the participants UNTIL one of them objects.

    And as for the elimination sex as a motive in rape “disinfecting” the crime a bit, I’m pretty much with you. Most crimes against people do involve some level of trying to exercise power and control, but most don’t involve sexually assaulting someone. How can sex NOT be a motivating factor in rape when it’s at the very heart of it?

  5. no name says:

    Big J – I look forward to you following your own suggestion. Discussion is good, but arguments for the sake of who someone is – it’s getting old.

  6. no name says:

    Maria – sounds about right to me. Both to blame. Where do they draw the line? She says yes to sex, but did not expect to tear – who does??? How is that his fault? If she said no to the sex, why did she get in the back seat??? If she only meant to fool around, isn’t that still admitting to some consent? Too bad that this happened to both of them, but they are both to blame. His folly was not only his desire, but that he chose a minor. Had she been his age, would it not be a different story???

  7. Big Beefy J says:

    “If sex is consensual, how is it “an act of power and dominance” if it was entered into mutually?”

    Because there is a clear distinction made between who’s “giving” and who’s “recieving” said action. For example, one person is in a dominant position; i.e. on top, behind, etc. Also, the use of ‘toys’ in the forms of bondage and pain infliction is a clear example of how power, control, and dominance are vital aspects of conensual sex.

    I’m not trying to say that there isn’t a power/control component of rape, but eliminating the sexual aspect of it disinfects it by saying that sex wasn’t a motive.

  8. Guilty Bystander says:

    Just a question, Beefy J…honest:

    If sex is consensual, how is it “an act of power and dominance” if it was entered into mutually?

    If this particular case, you make a valid point because most 19-year-olds are farther down the road developmentally than 14-year-olds, but were you including consensual sex among adults, too?

  9. Big Beefy J says:

    DOMINIO:

    May I make a suggestion. Since you constantly take issue over EVERYTHING I post, maybe you could just ignore me?

    Maybe you can just scroll past my posts? Please?

    Just don’t read what I post and we can avoid these awkward online tiffs that seem to bother everyone.

    🙂

  10. Big Beefy J says:

    @ Dominoe:

    Get a life!!! Quit twising every single comment into an “attack” against you.

  11. Big Beefy J says:

    Even consesual sex is an act of power and dominance.

    Saying that rape is just a “power move” or ‘control move” makes it seem less horrific.

    It’s called “sexual assault” for a reason.

  12. Big Beefy J says:

    Dominoe:

    Only you and your “bully friends” can take a simple QUESTION, and TWIST in into something else entirely.

    Why can’t you just allow people to post without picking fights with them and calling them names or insulting them by saying they are “way off” or some other vague b.s.

    I asked a question. But since I”m a guy, I don’t deserve to have any questions anwered. I simply deserve to have my comments shove back into my face with the usual disrespect and misandry.

    Yo go girl~!

  13. Dominoe says:

    Big beefy you never fail to astound me with how stupid you sound, and how uninformed you are on any subject you speak on.
    It is called sexual assault because the rapist gets off by forcing themself on someone SEXUALLY and having the POWER to do so. Look it up, google it, ask a cop, go to the library, Idk. I refuse to try to educate you because you are too hard headed to be convinced of anything other than what you believe, no matter how much evidence exusts to the contrary.

  14. Big Beefy J says:

    “Sexual assault is a crime committed not for sex, but for the power and control it affords the perpetrator.”

    If sex isn’t the motive, then why is it called “sexual assault”?

    If it’s all about power and control, then why isn’t it called “power assault” or “control assault”?

  15. ozeesmrald says:

    I would like to take a moment and thank everyone for using this very public forum to show just why sexual assault remains the most difficult of crimes to win conviction on and how it will remain the most unreported of crimes. Everyone who commented is very passionate in their opinions and vocal. Unfortunately, I also see there is a great misconception and lack of education in some cases. Perhaps, I should hold the parents of those misinformed accountable for not teaching their children the truth about the motives and behaviors of sexual predators. As, we want to hold the victim’s parent’s accountable for not properly educating. Unfortunately, sexual assault will remain as it is today, the most complex of crimes committed.
    Sexual assault is a crime committed not for sex, but for the power and control it affords the perpetrator. The perpetrator is a skilled manipulator. What some may view as “immature” characteristics is just what the perpetrator relies upon both to ensnare his victims and to gain public support. It is practiced and honed. One supporter, claims he flirted with all the girls. And, even with her…until she drew a boundary. All this is common behavior. He is flirting, because he is searching. Congratulations young lady, you were someone he found not enough weakness in to take advantage of. Instead, he looks for those who have faith and trust in humanity. To bad, this 14 year old had yet to develop her own identity, still content in life to trust, respect, and value the input her elders had. To bad, in a society that uses sexuality as a symbol of empowerment, she was beginning to explore her power. Heaven forbid, she do as the celebrities and peers around her. What a crime she has committed. In her process of discovering herself, she put herself a risk. He capitalized upon it. Skilled flirtation likely making her feel very attractive and special. Flattered, that someone would pick her out and pay so much attention to her. Boy, I hope none of us is ever guilty of such feeling. If so, we are all bound to be victims. Reality, we usually are….we just call them relationships. He developed his exactly as he wanted.
    I wish we had better vocabulary in the world. Perhaps then, the use of the word “Force” would not be so misused. In this case, it was a force of will, not actually forcing her mouth open. Yes, woman have strong jaw muscles. But at 14, probably not yet developed such a strong will to know just how to stop someone who is adamant on having their way. That usually the end result of the “rebellious” stage in life. Hence, why the perpetrator gets off on the feeling of power and control. He is in control and can take against her will.
    And also, since anal sex did occur, without contest(it’s medically confirmed)….I must say it is absolutely probably for someone to be put upon all fours in the backseat. For the heck of it, I went out and tried it. Guess what, I fit just fine in that position in a car. I would however, like to flog the journalist who wrote this article for using such inappropriate words. I’m just not sure what words we could correctly use in their place.
    On the same note, I know of few adult women who would just go on and say, “Anal…..sure, let’s go for it.” I find it highly improbable a 14 year old, even in today’s sexually exposed society, is likely to have enough understanding of “vanilla” sex as to willfully consent to such a negatively viewed act.
    “He messed up.” is not an admission of guilt. It is, clearly indicative of a guilty conscious full of remorse. Which means one thing…..he KNEW he did something wrong. Whether it was that he had sex with a minor or that it was not consensual is not the issue. Further, there was company policy prohibiting this type of behavior from employees. What is the issue, is that he had conscious, coherent knowledge that what he was doing was WRONG in the eyes of the law. It demonstrates a highly important fact…….he chose to ignore the law and failed to demonstrate the ability to do what was right, NO MATTER HOW FAR IT WENT! For it not to be something he should face consequence for, is just plain stupid to consider. When we chose to do wrong, aware we are doing so, we excepting that we may face consequences for that action. If we fail to punish this behavior, we do him a major disservice. We allow him to believe he can get away with making bad choices. We further empower him to commit crime…..until one day it is so great of one we cannot ignore it.
    To those who attack the victim, please educate yourselves. You are the very reason perpetrators continue to get away with this crime. You empower them with your defenses. The victim is left completely conflicted and confused as to what has occurred. So caught up in the very feelings you put out there, she is afraid to step forward with her story. Did she ask for it? Did she want it? Was it all her fault? He has all the power on his side because of YOU! Further, any other probable victims out there may refuse to come forward because they do no desire to be publicly slandered and picked apart for their mistake. You wish me to forgive a 19 year old for “Messing Up”, but are castigating a 14 year old for “messing up”. Shame on all of you!!!! I’m more concerned this might not have been the first time this young man did something like this, nor might not be the last if he gets away without consequence.
    I am willing to bet, that in all her fears, it was the fear of something being medically wrong with her that had her confiding in: not her parents, but her sister. She likely hoped her sister would have the answers to ease her fear and her parents would never have to know. My hat is off to the brave young lady who took it to the parents.
    For these facts and nothing more, I find there to be sufficient guilt to declare a sexual assault occurred. The he said, she said aspect of it has no bearing whatsoever on the case. For it to be used in such a public forum, just shows how far our society has yet to come. Sexual assault will remain a part of our society until this flawed logic is put to rest. Educate yourselves.

  16. whatever says:

    anyone here ever had hormones before? how about hormones that made their brains work better? How easy is it for a guy to get really far, then have the power to STOP? Is it easy for a grown man? Is it easy for a teen guy? Both were in the wrong. Girl thought that some heavy petting would be fun. No, it should NOT have gone that far, but it did. Girl wasn’t educated enough in guys (parents, this means you). Guy let his little head do the thinking, and we ALL KNOW that when the little one “thinks”, it’s not about the consequences. Seems like the GW lodge is just another extention of the pole dancing casino, just these girls are in the water, and for some stupid reason they think that their kids will benefit from the scenery and the Sunday afternoon cheerleaders dance routines.

    “If this Salazar kid is a functioning imbecile as some infer. How did he get a job in a field that would call upon someone to have the capacity to function in a life saving capacity?”

    How high an IQ does one need to swim? Or administer CPE?

  18. sunshinegirl says:

    Dominoe ,I don’t know what is wrong with these people but the older I get the more disgusted I get with what is considered accepted behavior and how little the laws are respected. Don’t want to follow the rules or take responsibility ? That’s OK just blame the victim or (a good one in this forum) blame law enforcement . I was taught follow the rules , own my own shit , and respect law enforcement , and the times I have dealt with them they have for the most part been helpful and respectful towards me , hell I had a swat team in my living room and I tell ya before that night was over I loved those guys. Today we teach our kids to the soddi – Some other Dude did it credo and make excuses for them. As a parent I know it is a hard job , harder then any I ever had . We also have pretty much taken God out of the equation and that is sad , but to answer your question Dominoe ya got me I am at a loss to explain these folks!!!

  19. There's coffee&maple bars says:

    It seems odd he was allowed to bail out on a $20,000 bail. I wonder if they posted a bond. That would be only 10% or $2000 dollars.
    I would think on a charge this serious he would have been held ’til arraignment.
    Wonder if he’s planning on a run for south of the border?

    I understand it costs a pretty penny to stay at Great Wolf. I would imagine the girls parents have educations beyond high school.
    I have to imagine they are economically pretty well off. Perhaps business owners. Maybe professionals of some type. Practice in the medical or law fields? They come to the area for a family vacation and their underage daughter who, by the way, cannot give legal consent due too her age, is forcibly sodomized by a local with the surname of Salazar from the decidedly low rent surrounding area.
    It wouldn’t surprise me if the girl’s parents know some people of influence who insure justice is meted out to the offending party.
    Oh, If this Salazar kid is a functioning imbecile as some infer. How did he get a job in a field that would call upon someone to have the capacity to function in a life saving capacity?

  20. Dominoe says:

    Also people read what been there said… He spoke to the tribal cop who interviewed the girl…

  21. Dominoe says:

    REREAD THE ARTICLE***

  22. Dominoe says:

    Previous Lifeguard. Guess what?… I knew Jimmy Reeder. Very well in fact, as he was married to my niece. At first I said NO WAY. He couldn’t have done that. But the more I heard, and the more evidence that came out, the more I doubted his innocence. Then one day I WOKE THE EFF UP!

    What you are feeling is called DENIAL and it can be an ugly thing. It’s not that you DON’T believe it, it’s that YOU DON’T WANT TO BELIEVE IT. No one wants to believe that monsters are among us and that people we know or are even close with could do such a sick thing. BUT, think about this; EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS DONE A SICK THING TO ANOTHER PERSON, HAD PEOPLE WHO LIKED AND EVEN LOVED THEM. You being his friend doesn’t make him immune to whatever disease befalls the sickened mind of people who do things like this. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE DOGSH:T GIRL! Sick people and monsters are all around us. One might live next door to you or even in your own home! Never doubt what a person is capable of and stop letting people surprise you. Some might call me cynical, but I say I’m realistic.

    ALSO NEWS FLASH. THE GIRL GOT HER ANUS TORE NOT HER HYMEN. FOR ALL OF YOU SAYING SHE WAS ON HER PERIOD OR BLED BECAUSE SHE LOST HER VIRGINITY>>AND THEN AGAIN CAREFULLY>>>AND THEN ONE LAST TIME FOR GOOD MEASURE. If you are going to comment, pay attention to the details in Sharyn’s reports.

  23. Previous lifeguard says:

    Because no other lifeguard is allowed to say anything while they are employed at the great wolf lodge, I will. I worked there until a few months ago and started with Alex, we went through lifeguard class together and worked many of the same shifts. He was 19 but if you knew him, you would know he was mentally about 15 at the most. Very immature, very young, And very niave. He liked girls, a lot. I’ve seen him hit on hundreds of girls working with him, myself included, but the second you made it known that it was unwelcome, he would stop and it would never happen again. As for the girl. She had bruises and blood in her panties, had nobody else had sex?? Bruises happen, ALL the time!! And blood in her panties, most girls bleed when they lose their virginity. I know Alex extremely well and I just don’t see him possibly raping a child. The only thing wrong here is yes she was 14. Yes he broke policy by even hanging out with the girl outside of the waterpark. They probably did have sex but I will never believe he forcibly raped her.

  24. beenthere says:

    I happened to speak with a Tribal Police Officer and asked him about this case. He told me that the girls story was pretty straight and appears the young man raped her. He also noted that the Tribal Police declined to take this case and passed it onto another department that is better staffed with detectives to investagate.
    Just a little info I thought I would pass on. I also hope all young people will take note and that parents can share this story with their children to help educate them in the horrible side of life.

  25. Dominoe says:

    Maria so you screw every guy that you mess around with? You have never made out with a guy and even let feel you up that you never intended to go all the way with? So basically once you kiss it’s written that you are DTF? If you really believe what you just said, you are either a slut or an idiot (or both). And since when does some foreplay lead to forcible anal sex?
    What is wrong with all these people sunshine girl?
    I hope you think about what you said here the next time you are messing around with some guy and you ask him to stop…. (if you ever even do that)

  26. sunshinegirl says:

    Wow Maria are you for real? I think you are the sick one , it would be interesting to know how you were raised , and by who , had it coming ? You ever listen to yourself ?

  27. Mesayst says:

    Just wondering if a 14 yr old boy was raped by a 19 yr old male,would you jerks out there say He asked for it. That His parents weren’t watching out for him. That he was wearing his jeans too low or too tight, was wearing a muscle shirt or something sexy. That he knew what he was asking for when he was getting into the rear seat of a car. Oh yeah let’s hear all you sickies out there say that’s different.

  28. Maria Franco says:

    Wow! This is sick! I went to school with this kid. Makes me sick that he would rape a 14 year old girl, but the girl is stupid too. She knew she was getting into when he asked her to go in the back seat. I feel bad for her that she got raped from behind. But if it was her idea then maybe he should have not had sex with her period. That’s why there are other girls who are his age willing to have sex with him but its obviously that he can’t get any. This girl is getting a bad rep. Just like Alex is getting a bad rep too. The girl had it coming. She should have never left with him alone.

  29. sunshinegirl says:

    Re: Just sayin, of course she was naive and dumb she was 14, and of course her folks dropped the ball , and good for you , that you knew better at that age but that is where the innocent part comes in , they cannot always see whats coming and that’s why we have the laws we have so we can catch these creeps and ya I am calling them vile names , they deserve it. They wait, and prey on the naive and the dumb , and the innocent and at 19 he knew exactly what he was doin but because of what he did to her , was probably the most shameful and horrible thing she ever could have imagined she probably did not want to tell . Who would ? That is why these creeps get away with it most of the time. Nine out of ten do not tell so these guys think they are always gonna get away with it just like any other thief. We sure do not put any value on our children’s innocence from what I read here. That is the truly, sad part of this whole story . Are all 14 year old innocent?? Probably not but if they are not , you can bet your ass it is because some creep like the ones I’ve been hearing from had something to do with that.

  30. ihatestupidpeople says:

    @WTF
    Of course, hide behind the constitution to spew your lame ass bullshit. Go jump in front of Amtrak.

  31. Dominoe says:

    Just sayin maybe she agreed up to the point when he forced himself into her anus and tore her open… He will find out exactly what that’s like in prison. Doesn’t matter what happened before she said stop…. Once a girl says STOP or YOU ARE HURTING ME.. That’s a wrap and it’s over. Even with all that aside she’s 14 and not capable of making that mature of a decision. He was told her age and chose to ignore that fact, when he knew it was wrong and knew it was illegal. She said stop and he ignored that when he knew it was wrong and he knew he was hurting her. She shouldn’t have gotten in the car and now she knows why parents say never to do that. She’s young and naive and probably thought it would have a veryddifferent ending. No girl imagines some back seat play will lead to anal rape. It’s no one’s fault but the effing rapist. It makes me sick that in 2013 people still hang a scarlet letter on a girl who was violated

  32. Mom_NW says:

    *WTF- I am not a feminist, I just happen to be a human being who belives that no man, woman, or child should be raped. No means no regarldless. I am not the one on this website calling people vile names, telling others to “shove it up their ass” or blaming a 14 year old girl for being raped. I am a human being that feels terrible for the 14 year old girl. Should different choices have been made? Sure, but that is not an excuse to rape a child. It absolutly is not, and since you respect the law so much, you will understand if this young man is found guilty of rape.

  33. just sayin says:

    I personally have a daughter and I do think bad parenting and lack of common sence are to blame. I was once 14 knew better then to go with an older man in his car then get in his back seat wtf?? Hey lets kiss in yhe back seat and not expect anything else. Yes he’s wrong but if u ppl think this female is that innocent and dumb then I hope u dnt have kids urself. Parents nred to be teaching self respect and morals two of which I dnt think this girl or many others have.

  34. GuiltyBystander says:

    The bottom line, guys, is that he’s 19 and she’s 14. No matter how hot and horny she MAY have been, that’s a no-no. The law is what it is, and all the rationalizations in the world don’t change the numbers.

  35. Dominoe says:

    P.S. In prison they don’t do much TALKING when they don’t like what someone did…and rapos of ANY kind are not well liked there. Don’t forget to say good luck to your little friend now wtf

  36. Dominoe says:

    Wtf I’m not a feminist, I just don’t think it’s ok to rape little girls. I guess that (among many other things) is the difference between us. You’re a pig. Trash defending trash. The usual BS on here. Always a reason why what these loosers did is ok by someone. I’m glad he has people like you who will stick up for him… I certainly hope you are right there to jump to his defense when everyone is talking sh:t to him on the big yard in prison.

  37. sunshinegirl says:

    You go Dominoe except you are insulting the poor pigs ! Me thinks they protest too much. Also pray they have no children . You retards keep sayin a 14 year old knows the game , that is bullshit ! A 19 year old is an adult , that is another whole story and it is as old as time and you guys are just a cliche, perves stickin up for another perve. I am almost six foot tall and by the time I was 9 I was taller then my Mom and she was always telling me to watch out for the perves who prey on little girls who might look a little older. She said I would know and I said how? as I was innocent regardless of how I looked . She said they will make you feel funny and she was right , you creeps are around every fucking corner, now I have a whole slew of tall beautiful Grandaughters and they have been educated on how to spot you creeps. Oh and by the way I had a couple of close calls but managed to hang on to my virtue till I was 18, the reason we have these laws is to protect our children and oh ya I also had a truck load of Brothers , they knew about you creeps also. Funny your sort always talk the same shit. It never changes .

    Also the fact that she went back to the hotel and confided in her sister about the rape says a lot. If she had done all this willingly, she would have told her sister that that’s what happened. She didn’t. A scared little girl went and told her sister she got hurt and she didn’t want to do it. He’s bigger and older, she was afraid. Anyone advocating for this kid, calling this girl names, saying she asked for it, or saying she knew it was coming is an EFFING SICK PUKE AND A IGNORANT TURD. I bet none of you saying that kind of sh:t have a daughter. I would also wager to bet you think sh:t like this is ok because you have done it or thought about doing it yourself and thought “yea she wants it”. Get a clue and get over yourselves. Pigs. Effing pigs.

    Her story sounds bogus. No rape kit,.. its his words vs hers. Where were the parents at? these are logical questions everyone should ask. Prevent this from happening by having the ‘boy talk’ with your young women. Do not allow them to have the time to make poor desisions. Keep tabs on your kids. Dont get into cars with strangers. You know ‘safety common sense’ As far as attacking me personally. I am protected by the United States Constitution to have the freedom to express my point of view. My history is none of your business. Take your feminist POV and shove it up your ass. Shes sending a young man to jail for a little hanky panky she probably wanted and had the chance to get out of the situation many times. Poor judgement. Poor parenting. Now the court system has to clean it up. Sad and guess what Im the bad guy. MUHAHAHAHA

    *WTF* – You make me ill. In my opinion your words are the words of some kind of angry man who has probably committed an act, or has been accused of committing an act of sexual deviancy. I will also venture to guess that you have trouble maintaining relationships with women, and perhaps have a history of domestic violence. Your words, and the anger that spews with them are troublesome. You should probably print this comment section out, and take it to some kind of mental health expert. You sir, have some deep seeded issues. I hope that you get the help you need.

    No one deserves to be raped regardless of the situation. No means no, stop means stop. She stated her age, he chose not to believe her. He continued to rape her. He should be held accountable.

    No doubt that when the evidence is presented to the defense, this asshole will offered a sweetheart plea deal (as usual) and allowed to return to society after “treatment” at Monroe so he can kill (oops I meant rape) again.

    He would have gotten off easier if he sold heroin or mexican meth.

  42. sunshinegirl says:

    I sure hope none of you assholes decide to have kids, guys like you are the reason women consider abortion.

  43. wtf is bad person says:

    No means no, and stop means stop, even if you are in the middle of having sex. It doesn’t matter what a girl is wearing or how she acts, guys need to be humane, and treat others with respect. @WTF REALLY – you are despicable.

  44. beenthere says:

    I dont condone anything but I agree that in this day and age, a 14yr old knows the game.

  45. There's coffee&maple bars says:

    From what I read there is forensic evidence that seems to correspond to the girl’s account as to the activity that occurred.
    There’s also surveillance video showing them leaving together.
    So he had opportunity, that figures into probable cause.

    Despite this early bluster from his family and friends he won’t take this to trial once he see’s the evidence against him.

    If nothing else there is a policy about employee’s fraternizing after hours with guests who are minors. Which he willfully violated.

  46. wtf really says:

    So you tell me she willingly got in the back seat with him but didn’t know what what gonna happen? I call bullshit!! Half these parents need to pay attention wtf their kids are wearing, these young girls walking around looking like hookers! This girl got caught so she made something up to cover her ass.

  47. Dominoe says:

    @ wtf Opinions like yours are the reason so many rapes go unreported. The stigma people like you attach to a girl is scary and shameful. I’m surprised you didn’t say “she asked for it”.Who gives a shit what she was wearing?! Yea I’m so sure she was begging to have her anus tore open and bleed from her behind all night. Clearly you have never have sex in a car, because, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO BE ON ALL FOURS IN A BACKSEAT. The only person who’s full of shit is you. Why are you advocating for this kid? Were you charged with raping a few Middle Schoolers while in High School yourself? He admitted she told him how old she was but he didn’t believe it… Um hello admission of guilt right there. He knew it was wrong and now he’s trying to flip it around on her. He was pressured by a 14 year old to have anal sex with her?! Yea effing right. I’m fairly sure there was a rape kit and even if there wasn’t I bet she had to have stitches so that’s evidence right there. You sir, are a jackass.

  48. Mesayst says:

    Wtf, you are one screwed up person. You were there in the car when all this took place? Rape is Rape. And everyone thinks OLJ is terrible, he sounds like the tooth fairy compared to you. BTW. Where is the decently in men? Hello?

  49. wtf says:

    that little bitch is lying her ass off. he flipped her over on all fours – ? id like to see that. this a back seat not a wrestling mat. It doesnt work like that. He forced her mouth open? to give oral. wtf. also doesnt work like that. You have teeth and very strong jaw muscles. did they swab this young lady? did they find semen? Blood in underware is not a tale tale sign of rape neccesarily. who cares we have enough to prosecute. let the courts sift the truth out. NO RAPE KIT. NO CASE. FIGHT THIS.

    Where is the decency in young women?

    I guarantee you this girl looks like shes 18 and is wearing a bright flourecent colored skimpy bikini standing front and center with her cell phone in a water proof box tied to her wrist ready to GET NUMBERS.

    Where were the parents at?? Did the child ‘check in’? Did the child lie to the parents? Why did she get into a car with a boy she wasnt interested in getting physical with? Why did she persue this boy the way that she did? I really do not believe she is the victim here. When and where is she responsible for her self at any point? So what we got there is a whole age demographic between 12-17 that has no parents watching them and are not responsible for any of their actions; but look, dress and act like adults? Particularly young women because the cops ‘always’ believe them.
    This girl should take a freaking lie detector and cover her breasts.
    She had to make up a story to her sister after she disappeared from the arcade. Show her some nasty menstral flow underware and tell a tall tale after all it is the GREAT wolf LODGE.

    The boy saying he ‘messed up’ is not an admission of guilt. He went to the office and the police were waiting for him. Of course hes in big trouble and he messed up or they wouldnt be there for him.

    a 14 yr old knows what the game is …this is a sick ass situation all the way around
