> According to reports, Johnson allegedly raped a teenage girl who was heavily intoxicated and vomiting at the gas station

"Demarcus Shamir Johnson, an employee of the Sheetz located on East King Street in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, is accused of committing several grave offenses."

"The incident allegedly occurred on October 30th, 2022 when Shippensburg Police Department responded to a call for assistance from EMS, who were attending to a 14-year-old girl who had passed out in the Sheetz bathroom and was vomiting. Initial contact with EMS found the victim laying in vomit and her pants undone. It was later discovered that she couldn’t remember her date of birth, where she lived, or who her mother was. Parents were eventually called when they opened the victim’s phone."

How awful.

But then it becomes a problem of identity being the cause of evil, which gives gasoline to an already racially charged fire.

The media isn’t hateful, they’re appealing to the tribal part of the brain to stir up hate and get more views/ad money etc. which may be worse that just genuinely being hateful, because at least then you’re honest.

I think people may have thought you were implying this fit the negative stereotype that black men disproportionately commit more sexual assaults than any other demographic. Doesn't say the man's race in the article, so it could be anyone. What's important is that this 14-year girls gets justice

And why is it a magisterial district judge whose purview is "all traffic cases, minor criminal cases, civil cases, theft, disorderly conduct and landlord/tenet disputes involving amounts up to $12,000" giving a sign-and-release unsecured bail to a rape suspect?

Nothing that happened here is a minor criminal case. Rape is felony of the first degree.

msip313 t1_jasgy3z wrote

Magisterial district judges preside over bail hearings and preliminary hearings for all criminal offenses in PA. If you murdered someone, for instance, the preliminary hearing on your first-degree murder charge will be before a MDJ.

heili t1_jasj7ua wrote

So that's how we get bullshit like this?

msip313 t1_jat2kcv wrote

Well, every state conducts a preliminary hearing when criminal charges are filed, typically before a minor-court judge, so it’s not as if this is unusual. And since we can’t incarcerate a person for crimes they’ve been charged with prior to a trial and verdict of guilt (or, more commonly, a guilty plea), the decision to grant bail and in what amount turns on whether the person is flight risk and presents a danger to others, among other considerations. A few states have gotten rid of bail in recent years and instead use a form of pretrial supervised release. Most states, like PA, offer bail for non-capital offenses. The amount varies, but many, many criminal defendants can’t afford to post bail and wind up awaiting trial in county jail.

There's some insanely low statistic on rape, and child rape is indeed a felony being prosecuted as a felony. Pretty eye popping.

Edit: updated middle name.

kmrandom t1_jarzzkl wrote

Did you know that Brock Allen Turner, convicted sexual assaulter, now uses his middle name in public to avoid association with rape? So Allen Turner so the same person as Brock Turner.

We are far too lenient on the penalty for crimes of a sexual nature.

What was a 14 year old child doing blacked out drunk in a gas station bathroom to begin with? I have some questions for her parents.

It's a kid doing something stupid. I was a kid and I've done something stupid, as I bet you did. What she wasn't doing was giving permission for this to happen.

Hell no, we weren't saints by any means but none of us were this out of control at 14.

>What she wasn't doing was giving permission for this to happen.

Permission given or not (although I wouldn't put it past some parents, I personally knew many who bought alcohol for their teens) no 14 year old should even have the opportunity to end up blacked out in a gas station bathroom. Not victim blaming her for the assault, it's absolutely not her fault she was assaulted. But IMO 14 year olds shouldn't be running the streets alone, their parents should know where they are at literally all times.

Gloria_Patri t1_jas65nh wrote

Sad to see you're getting the down votes. Based on the article, the charges aren't very well supported. It sounds like the girl was too drunk to remember what happened. I'd want to know if a sexual assault kit was done? Any signs of trauma? How long was he in the restroom alone with her? Who called EMS? How she ended up alone at the gas station in the first place? I'm not saying he's innocent, but reddit has this trend of playing judge and jury when only having 10% of the relevant information.

On what grounds?

> The victim was later interviewed at a Children’s Advocacy Center, where she alleged that she had talked to Johnson at Sheetz on occasion and that he had asked her age. She remembered him saying he was either 20 or 21. The victim’s sister had previously told Johnson to leave the victim alone and told him how old her sister was.

Unless she helped cover it up I don’t think she could even be charged with accessory after the fact. What I interpreted was she was only aware of the advances and (and please someone correct me if I’m wrong!!) not at the scene when this took place which is not enough to charge her.
