So, she's in the juvenile lock up for "making false police reports" in a story that started roughly five years ago.

(FFS people, this is why you never, EVER talk to cops. I'm sure she didn't just waltz in and make out a phony report, I'm almost positive this is the charge for "lying" under questioning)

While in jail, awaiting sentencing, she gets raped by a "counselor", aka prison guard.

She gets sentenced to a year in jail.

The rapist gets probation.



Teen gets 12-month sentence for minor offense - and thug gets probation for raping her


15-year-old Ashley had no inkling of what was to come on the day in 2005 when she was in Manhattan Family Court on a minor charge.

"You want to believe everybody's good, everybody wants to help you," she told me last week.

A hulking juvenile counselor named Tony Simmons led her in handcuffs from the girls holding area to the elevator.

She expected Tyson, as Simmons was called, to bring her up to the courtroom where she was scheduled to be sentenced for filing a false police report.

Instead, the elevator descended to the basement. The 42-year-old counselor pulled down her pants and raped her with calm, practiced precision that made him all the more terrifying.

"He knew exactly what he was doing," Ashley said. "Everything."

When he was done, Simmons pulled her pants back up and the elevator ascended to the courtroom. He raised an extended index finger to his lips in a mute command for her to say nothing.

"I was very scared," Ashley said. "I was terrified. He was a very large man."

Just moments after being violated, Ashley was seated next to her mother and before the judge. She was too shocked and terrified to report the attack.

"I knew I was just raped. I knew it wasn't supposed to happen," she recalled. "I didn't think anybody would believe me."

She kept silent as she was found to be a juvenile delinquent and sentenced to 12 months. She says her only crime was initially reporting to police she did not know who had jumped and cut her on the way to school.

Simmons continued to prey on teenagers in his custody until 2008, when a 15-year-old girl came forward to say he had sodomized her behind a locker in the girls holding area, which he stocked with condoms and cookies. Investigators believe the assaults go back a decade to the rape of a 13-year-old in the holding area.

"Just the tip of the iceberg," Assistant District Attorney Amir Vonsover said in 2008, when Simmons was indicted for three sex assaults.

On Sept. 27, Simmons appeared in court and pleaded guilty to raping Ashley and sexually assaulting two other teens.

He received probation.

What do you even say to something like this?

It's a shame this happened in Manhattan, where some asshole judge sentences him to probation. They should make him spend 10 minutes in a room with her Dad.
 
Not your fault, just bad coincidence. I was *relieved* when I realized she was 15 rather than 5. Still, this is fucking disgusting. Government is a joke.

It won't be too much longer before 5 year old kids are in jail.

Then it will just be matter of time before the sick fucks that prey on them know where they are.
 
Remember kids, you can rape as many young girls as you want, just don't smoke marijuana! That's evil!
 
No comment on this story, other than to say that my rage defies all reason...
 
Dont know what to say.... fuck the government and fuck the police feels about right though...
 
Forced rape is one of those area's I strongly advocate a death penalty.
 
Unbelievable... absolutely un-freakin' believable.

That poor kid.

Did anyone else read through to the end, for the rest of the story?


While pondering Simmons' probation for the courthouse rape the day she got 12 months, Ashley notes that she actually served nearly three years.

She is not of the streets and that made her the target of kids who were. And, as the shock of the rape turned to anger, she often talked back to counselors.

"You say something, they throw you on the floor; 60 days, 90 days, 120 days added to your sentence," she said.

She was already an orphan and she had lost her adoptive parents as well by the time she was released. She nevertheless kept on track, getting a perfect score on her GED exam and enrolling in a professional program at a prestigious university.
 
US: 1 in 10 Children in Juvenile Facilities Report Sexual Abuse by Staff
Justice Department Should Issue Prison Rape Standards

The widespread sexual abuse of children in juvenile facilities shows that public officials either aren’t paying attention or can’t be bothered to do the right thing.

Jamie Fellner, senior counsel for the US Program at Human Rights Watch
(New York) - New government data suggesting high levels of sexual abuse of confined youth in the United States should galvanize the Department of Justice to swiftly issue national standards to end prison rape, Human Rights Watch said today.

According to the first National Survey of Youth in Custody, released today by the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1 in 10 youth in state juvenile facilities and large non-state facilities reported sexual victimization by staff in the previous twelve months. Another 2.6 percent reported sexual victimization at the hands of other youth. Youth who are not heterosexual are at particular risk: 1 in 5 reported sexual abuse by staff or other youth. In the very worst facilities, 20 to more than 30 percent of all youth reported abuse.
