Maurice Washington Faces Charges

It's strange the different takes people can have upon reading that full report. My take away is that this should have never gotten beyond the high school cafeteria gossip. I guess that's what happens when you have a threesome that one of the parties videos. The school gets upset that students have the video. A parent gets upset because they can't face all these people knowing what their girl did. Two boys get their hand slapped by the legal system for participating. And when it comes back up some time later, an ex-boyfriend who did something really stupid, past an arbitrary age date, is facing the harshest charges of all. Personally, I give this girl and her mother's account zero credibility. You should have to prove sexual assault or rape before you refer to it as such years later. At this point in time I would be surprised if this doesn't get plead down to next to nothing. Barring new info, a half game suspension (if that is what it was for) seems about right to me.

For a guy who loves to mock reading comprehension, I’m surprised that’s your take after you (presumably) read the part where the experience afterwards led to the girl harming herself, Mo being friends with all the parties in question, therefore knowing what the charge was, ignoring the mandate to delete the video, being aggressive enough to be blocked from her instagram, and because of that resorting to texting the video to her phone to get back at her (which made it easy for her mom to see because she tracks her iMessages)

 

Or you didn’t read it.

from the sounds of it, even with proof. You would still shame a women for reporting an assault. No wonder they dont report right away

Weak attempt, and you’re wrong. I would ask you to explain why you make this allegation but I don’t care what you think and I would hate to encourage any further verbal diarrhea, so welcome to the list.

I agree it was annoying to read it stated as rape, as if it was a proven fact, in a police report. When it's been 3 years now and as far as I know there has been no attempt made to bring the accused rapists to justice. Should be "alleged rape" and "alleged sexual assault."

 

I don't agree it shouldn't have "gotten beyond the high school cafeteria gossip," though. I think what the 2 boys did, even if what was in the video was consensual, was awful. They should have been punished more harshly for distributing it, imo. What they did is a lot worse than sending the video back to a person involved in said video, assuming Washington didn't know she'd claimed sexual assault.

Oh I agree with that. My comment about not going beyond HS gossip was aimed towards the charges against Mo and not what the two boys did. I know kids treat sex much differently nowadays but videoing it and then distributing said video is horrible. I would bet that is what they actually got in trouble for and not for any version of actual sexual assault. I simply cannot believe they get off with the slap on the wrist they did if it was anything near sexual assault. Personally I’d like to see her mother charged with falsifying information, making a false report and defamation of character. IMO, as far as who did the worst things, the mother is 2nd in line to the two boys.

I'm sure it been mentioned but i don't want to read through everything to find the answer. But when were the guys from the video convicted? Was is before or after Washington sent the video?

One of the boys, as a minor, was given probation for the distribution.  At the time, it was not charged as a sexual assault because the girl did not claim it as such and all parties involved were minors.

Why did the 2 boys not get charged with a felony for distributing child porn? 

 

Shouldnt the mom get charged for requesting mo send her child porn? 

Then the officer videotaped the video of the clip off the iPad on his device therefore possessing child porn and the mother then distributed the child porn to an adult male police officer. He then took it back to the station and burned a copies of it.....

Just skimming the report, the prosecution will have issues authenticating the video. It will be interesting to see who they put on their witness list. Mom states she’s never seen and can’t see her daughters face but “knows” it’s her daughter. Thats not based on personal knowledge and inadmissible. The prosecution will need to list someone who has seen the video or one the boys involved to authenticate it otherwise there’s not evidence it’s a minor. 

 

Mother also solicited distribution of child porn and appears to be driving the bus behind prosecuting it. There are multiple inconsistencies in the police statement that would make it an ugly trial for v1 and the mom.

 

Based on what I’ve gathered as well is Mo’s attorneys have been granted continuances due to prosecution not making timely disclosures. This will continue to get dragged out and decent chance judge throws it out. However, I think a judge at preliminary hearing will allow to go to trial and at that point a plea will be reached before trial.

There could be a valid reason for that,  but with all I’ve read on this one and think I know, i just doesn’t seem likely. A couple big clues imo;

 

1- the girl and her mom do not want to and have not pursued charges against either of those two boys. Instead they’re content with seeing a former boyfriend charged with a felony. Once again, no charges for the supposed rapists but book thrown at another kid who did not assault their girl. Seems weird. As a parent, I would sure as hell go after anyone who sexually assaulted my daughter long before I’d go after a kid who just sent a video after the fact.

 

2- The reaction of people who actually saw the video or were presented evidence?

-Girl expelled from school

-Only probation for kids the mother now calls rapists

-Law enforcement saw the video and took reports. What did they do about a now claimed rape?......nothing.

Is it a California thing to expel students from school who have been sexually assaulted? Seems problematic. Why aren’t they pursuing charges against the school district for wrongful expulsion?

 

3- The mother’s report to the police does not seem to jive with what they have for evidence on Mo. And it really seems like the girl isn’t too bothered by it but her mother doesn’t want the police talking to the daughter because she’s too fragile and “recovering”. Once again, the claims get more serious after the mother finds out.

 

Its the magical morphing case. No problem at all until a video gets sent around the school. Girl doesn’t complain but rather her mother does. The more uncomfortable it gets for the mother, the claims of what happened get more serious. But not serious enough to actually charge supposed rapists with sexual assault. Only serious enough to try to ruin the life of a kid who did not rape a girl and who did not shoot and distribute the video. Why? Because they can now claim it was sexual assault, because they were minors and records are sealed, without having to press charges or prove a thing.

 

I find it all too incredulous. It has all the markings of yet another “not my little angel” story. I saw so much of this while my kids were in school it made me sick. Some parents will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid facing the truth about their own children. And yeah I know, we’re supposed to bend over backwards believing girls who claim they were assaulted. I’d really like to but I just can’t in this case.

 

There, that outta get things fired up again :lol:
