Edited to clarify charges
Home again. I was going to try and type up the full rundown on the trial, but my brain is just Not Up To It right now. I'll see about getting that up tomorrow.
And once it's up, I remind everyone that the information is a matter of public record, and the victim's name is the only one I won't use. And the internet is big. And that if any of you want to post anywhere or everywhere you feel like it that Paul Alexander Montgomery III was found guilty of 9 counts of rape of a child, or that he was also known online as Ebon Unicorn or Darken Sorcia or Drkn or so on . . . .
Well, let's just say that Cub said to go ahead and spread the word far and wide when I asked her if it was okay to drop this on the internet.

And the Internet is indeed a big place.

Date: 2009-08-15 02:01 pm (UTC)The rapist is the current legal step-father of the victim.
The victim's legal mother initially said she believed the victim, but then started trying to push the hard sell of her daughter being extremely mentally unstable and manipulative to the state. The state actually had the victim examined, iirc, and did not find evidence of what the legal mother was claiming. (The state also had every adult associated screened. I'd love, love to see what some of those other evals came back saying.)
It was a case of the mother throwing her own daughter under the bus, so to say.
