Ft. Worth man gets 99y. for raping girl



Fort Worth man gets 99 years for raping girl, 12


Category of problem: Children/Sex trafficking

Level of problem: Local

This is a problem/issue that children and their families face every day.

Why this is important or how does the affect individuals/families? This is important for children as individuals and their family members because no child is safe and no child should ever be taken advantage of. Rape is a heinous crime that must never go unpunished.

My views on the issue/policy: I have a daughter and this article brings tears to my eyes for this mom and child who had to go through it. I could not even imagine how her and her family must feel. She will remember this for the rest of her life. He took something for her that she will never get back. This man was a family friend with three children living with him. He could have been doing this to those children as well for who knows how long. Thank goodness there is some humanity left in this world and she was rescued after trying to be sold for sex at a local bar. It amazes me that people like him think they can do these things and 1) that it’s okay and 2) he can get away with it. He has a sick mind and something has to be cognitively wrong with him. Being imprisoned is the least of his worries; gangs in prisons go after those convicted of rape, young or old.
