It was one of the most bizarre sex crimes in recent Tulsa history. Now it's over, and both adults involved are headed to prison.

The 12-year-old girl showed up a Hillcrest Hospital in midtown Tulsa in July 2021 in labor.

The father-to-be apparently expected to walk out with the girl and their new bundle of joy.

"They walked in just like any other couple would, excited to deliver their newborn child," Tulsa Police Officer Danny Bean told FOX23 News in 2021.

When the child, well below the age of consent, showed up to give birth, doctors immediately called Tulsa Police to report what was happening.

RAPE! She helped him RAPE!

GET THE FUCKING HEADLINES CORRECT.

A 12 year old did not "get pregnant by grown man." She was FUCKING RAPED!

Holy shit, it implies the issue here was the getting pregnant. There's a little something that occurred before that and it was called RAPE!

I would also point out the human trafficking by pimping out your own child. Really need some sort of extra charge for that one, something about abusing a position of power.

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There actually is in a lot of states. There is a specific charge for, "sexual abuse on a child from a position of trust", that is specifically used for parental guardians. The charge is treated as a higher class than just sexual abuse on a child by itself, and I think the minimum is around 10 years for it. It should probably be higher considering people go to prison longer for drug charges, but at least its something.

I learned this from watching too many true crime documentaries.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, that was what I was eluding too as well. Most nations have some form of tack on sentence for abuse of a trusted position.

eluding

Ah yes, I was indeed confusing away from toward.

[-] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure whether the rape or the non-consentual pregnancy and forced birth is worse...

Then there's the fate of the child born to the kind of monster that would pay to do this...

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I read this article about an underage marriage, and while it explains how they get to that point in a more specific way, these are still men who rape children incapable of consent. No matter how you slice it, it's rape.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 63 points 1 year ago

How do you have an entire fucking family show up for a baby shower and not one god damn person says a thing? How do these people show up at a hospital with a pregnant 12 year old thinking this was going to have a happy ending?

That's some George Costanza shit right there. "Was I not supposed to impregnate 12 year olds? Because I had no idea. I mean if someone had told me that was frowned on around here, I never would've done it."

It’s god’s plan!

REPUBLICANS is how

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

generational dysfunction. this type of thing is normal for them. i bet this kind of thing has happened in their family before.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Please do not compare funny man George to this piece of human garbage.

[-] Daisyifyoudo@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago

This is obviously disturbing and disgusting. But, are we not going to talk about those eyebrows?

[-] victron@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago
[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Holy shit those are eyebrows.

I thought a crow was flying between me and my monitor.

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The weird thing is they resemble his eyebrows

I think we can talk about both. Why do they look like punctuation marks somehow?

[-] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Disturbing and disgusting.

Is that some sort of hideous super hero?

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 38 points 1 year ago

How is this going to work out legally for the girl and her baby? The girl isn’t even old enough to have her own bank account. Is she old enough to make parental decisions for her baby? Will the state take the baby away from her?

As terrible as it is, I wonder if that might be for the best.

[-] ProfessorPuzzleCode@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

The State will take the baby. I guess there are no good outcomes here. I expect both children are currently in care.

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, a “good” outcome is unrealistic. I think the best we can hope for is the “least terrible” outcome.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The good outcome would have been someone shooting the mother and the rapist before they traumatized the poor kid.

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I feel terrible for agreeing with this, but it's true. This poor little girl literally would have been less traumatized if someone just killed her parents.

[-] icedterminal@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

From the many times I've seen this type of incident on the news (unfortunately), they usually place the baby in the care of relatives first if possible.

[-] joel_feila@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

states do prefer kinship adoption as a first option.

Give her the book for what she did to her child

And add time for those eyebrows

[-] LufyCZ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

God I didn't even notice the eyebrows...

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

The girl's father was in prison for a separate sex crime and has no involvement in his daughter's life, Tulsa Police told FOX23 News at the time of the incident.

so i guess that explains why she was comfortable with allowing an adult to rape her daughter. these are the kind of men she dates.

[-] sebinspace@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

NOAH

GET THE MOTHER FUCKING BOAT

[-] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 1 year ago

"one of the most bizarre sex crimes in recent Tulsa history" is a pretty specific statement and makes that city sound terrible.

[-] Mdotaut801@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I don’t have much to say other than “yikes, poor girl” and “dem eyebrows.”

[-] greywolf0x1@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder if the two adults are also related, their eyebrows look too alike for them not to be.

Actually seeing HTTP 451 in the wild though

[-] Daisyifyoudo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Looks like they grabbed a shapie, and not a normal sized one but one of the gigantic oversized sharpies, a protractor, and a geometry book.

[-] shitwolves@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

ROLL.....SOONERS?

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No one would have been in trouble if they were married. In Oklahoma, there are no age restrictions for marriage. An adult can marry a toddler if they want. Child marriage is a long-standing conservative tradition, unfortunately.
