▲ 497 ▼ Tulsa mom pleads guilty to allowing 12-year-old daughter to get pregnant by grown man (www.fox23.com) submitted 2 years ago by MicroWave@lemmy.world to c/news@lemmy.world 138 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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.

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! permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 26 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Alluding to permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 point 2 years ago eluding Ah yes, I was indeed confusing away from toward. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago I'm not sure whether the rape or the non-consentual pregnancy and forced birth is worse...
