There's a follow up to the story Brockton junior high sex racket probed By Dave Wedge Wednesday, June 2, 2004 Brockton authorities are probing an alleged junior high prostitution racket, including whether to charge a 13-year-old girl accused of pressuring her mentally impaired friend into turning tricks for as little as $5. Brockton School Superintendent Joseph Bage said the disturbing case that has rocked West Junior High School is being investigated by Brockton police and Plymouth District Attorney TimothyCruz's office. Bage said no disciplinary action has been taken against either girl because the incidents allegedly occurred behind a shopping plaza a half-mile from the school. ``Once they're away from the school building, they're kind of on their own,'' Bage said. While Bage said the alleged 13-year-old prostitute has ``denied everything,'' a source said the girl has opened up to authorities and admitted taking part in the sex for cash scandal. Bage also refuted that she is mentally impaired, calling her ``a regular education student.'' The source, however, said the girl is developmentally delayed and in need of special education. According to the source, the trysts had been going on for weeks and involve as many as 20 boys from West Junior High and Brockton High School. One alleged 18-year-old john has been accused of assaulting her and forcing her to perform a sex act, the source said. The shocking case surfaced when two girls told school officials they were solicited by the accused junior high madame to join the upstart sex ring. A third girl also came forward. Brockton police Lt. William Conlon confirmed the probe. While the alleged victim is a foster child, Department of Social Services spokesman Michael MacCormack said the agency has yet to receive a report.
Honestly, I would feel a little bit better for the girl if she had made some money... But I think her pimpstress is a horrible horrible person, regardless whether or not she gave the girl money. And yes, the times have changed. My sister went to Jr. High with a 6th grader who was pregnant. Then 3 years later, my sister starts having sex. It's sad to say this, but I'm just waiting for the day that someone from my family tells me that she's pregnant. Then will she learn her lesson?
Whether or not the girl was mentally impaired enough to make her an easy target, her "friend" still preyed on her obviously low self esteem and manipulated her into thinking that this sick **** was her only way of having a normal relationship. r****ded or not, you have to be either pretty slow, or pretty down on yourself to buy into that garbage...unless she liked it. As for the money thing, I don't know that it would have made it any better that the one girl got a cut, but it would have at least made it possible that the "madame" had semi-good intentions...you know, make a little money, get her socially impaired (I can only assume) friend some action. But that she pocketed all the money only goes to show that she had nothing but malicious intent all along. Again, I am assuming all this is activity is being reported accurately. All in all, this story made me sick, and that's normally not an easy thing to do.
Hell I see more of DON MAJIC JAUN than I EVER saw of Mother Teresa R Kelly still on Tape with 14 yr olds and Still on the Streets Everyone wants to be P I M P I N G We live in the day of pimps and pedophiles and really are not that bothered by it. Children are having sex and the best solution some of us give well . . .let's show them how to do it better and safer and Abstainance is not even an option We are by far the most OVERSEXED society of all time Rocket River
rubber band effect by and large the average joe. . around me were like HEY . . . IT WAS WRONG . . BUT NOT THAT BAD Most folx I talk to thought it was a hyperreaction You must understand . . . .it only takes a few with power and influence to make something look alot bigger than it was. Rocket River
It's just the epitome of our hypocritical society. I work in a 24 hour adult video store that is equidistant between the poor parts of North Philly and the more affluent outlying suburbs. Hence I get a wide variety of patrons. Let me tell you guys, publicly people love to act like our store is trashy and they would never set foot in it. But during the wee hours (I work the glamorous midnight to 8am shift), once the kids and significant others have gone to bed, those same people come and indulge in what they ridicule and shun during the day. People just have to act like things offend them in case their neighbor or mother in law might be around. We're such a repressesd society. I really hope this story didn't surprise anyone. Sadden maybe but not shock. If you think this is bad, imagine what has not been uncovered that's going on.
are we really repressed??? sex is on tap everywhere. it's free on the internet. there's a store within 15 miles of you that sells every sort of p*rnography you could ever see. you can dial up phone sex. there are a plethora of "soft" men magazines available everywhere. sex talk is all over prime time television. topless clubs dot the landscape..."spas" and "massage parlors" all over the place. sex is used a means of moving virtually every product. the local sports radio station has a traffic reporter who does the report in a p*rn voice, complete with innuendo while driving through 5 p.m. traffic. and i'm certain i'm leaving a ton out. in short...sex is everywhere. i have a hard time saying that we are sexually repressed in this culture. if anything, i'd say we're oversexed. that we're inundated with visions of what women "should" look like....with what we're supposed to find desirable. with new ways to be more appealing sexually. we have created a whole social structure of sexual expectations for one another that culminates in junior high orgies. there was a school in atlanta that reported that 65% of its students had an STD back a few years ago. mostly because they were all passing around diseases at sex parties.
I had guys I knew in high school that were always running trains on girls. (multiple guys having sex with one female, not at the same time) Anyway, these girls were not slow although they probably had issues they were not forced. They were freaks. I knew of one that involved about 10 guys in one night. And this was over 10 years ago.
Regardless of the fact that social mores have shifted, there's still a strong puritanical bent and a conception that people of authority "should" act in a certain way, as well as willingness to regulate against it. Example: look at the ridiculous Janet Jackson furor and FCC crackdown, the thread in the D&D forum about stripper licenses, etc, the way that Howard Stern gets hammered for juvenile locker room talk while Schwarzenegger, famous pretend murderer, gets elected governor. We are represssed, and absurdly hypocritical at the same time. It's what happens when puritanism runs up into capitalism.
i guess i just disagree. first...i don't think there's anything wrong with having social mores. i don't think there's anything wrong with a society placing some limits out there. like against...say...a man ripping off a woman's shirt during a prime-time televised event that the whole country, young and old alike, is watching. i think sex is accessible as it has ever been...and more so. people talk pretty damn openly, as best i can tell. hell, people get on internet basketball boards and talk about how frequently they masturbate in the shower. i don't see a ton of restraint out there, frankly.
I think the fact that someone apparently thought it was okay to do that in the first place is more indicative of how sexed-up this society is. There should have been a big reaction to it- the Super Bowl is (or is supposed to be) a family event.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with having restraint, etc. But to me, the degree of furor unleashed over a naked breast, when there are so many other, more highly damaging social issues to deal with that are continually ignored, every day, was depressing (especially when, while our leaders were busy being outraged about this, our soldiers were busy committing serial human rights abuses on the other side of the world). The fact that sex is accessible and talked about is due in large part to the fact that our country's attitude toward it is so schizophrenic and hypocrtical about it, leading to a forbidden fruit syndrome. You've got hardline social conservatives like Ken Starr releasing pornographic details about the President's genitals for no purpose other than to embarass him; or any number of senators and congressman denouncing such and such as immoral as they cheat on their wives. Honestly, I think this problem really does start at the top. When you have John Ashcroft covering the statue of justice because he can't stand boobies, well, that's repression.
politicians come and go, sam. i notice that you didn't mention the fact our president was receiving blow jobs from an intern on the job. agreed that there are a ton of issues out there. but we're not always "tuned in" to those...certainly that's a mistake. but we were all absolutely and literally tuned in to the Super Bowl. i was at my house with the youth group from my church (not my children) and a 4 year old kid (who is my son) and felt completely uncomfortable with that. i wouldn't dare take any of those kids, mine or otherwise, to a movie that showed that sort of stuff in it...so i damn well don't expect it when it happens at halftime of a freaking football game at 7:00 in the evening.
Sure, he was, and other countries laughed at us for making such a huge deal out of it. Hell, IIRC at Francois Mitterand's funeral, his wife, mistress and illegitimate daughter sat in the same row. Now, we crap on France a lot, but I'd say from my experience that sexuality and p*rn is no more (and probably a lot less) prevalent there than it is here; It's not exactly babylon. Sure, they might show an extra boob or two on TV, but it's not causing massive social problems. I don't know; the super bowl (and the NFL in general) is a weekly festival of testosterone: boozing, violence, and sexy cheerleaders. Combine that with MTV, which basically sells sexuality now, and that's the kind of thing that will result. You have a right to be upset, but I'm pretty sure your son will get over it at some point and not start knocking over conveniece stores as you seem like a pretty darned responsible parent to me. However, like I said before, I felt that the degree of outrage, espeicially "official" outrage, that resulted was disproportionate to the actual harm, especially in the context of our lackadaisical attitude towards depictions of violence.
I don't have kids of my own so maybe my sex versus violence take is skewed. But I think if I did have kids and they were watching the game with me, I'd be more scared of a Joe Theismanish leg snapping....or a Jack Tatum style paralysis hit than a partial boob showing. But I admit maybe my perspective would change if I did have kids.
I have to say I don't think times have changed. Besides being philosophically opposed to the idea, this doesn't seem to be any different, in general terms, from stories I heard growing up.
I know you're older than me... but really? I didn't even know what sex was when I was 13. Hell I hadn't heard the term "blow job" until I reached high school.
its funny because i have had the same thing happen to me somewhat. (without all the pimping) my stepfather was the superattendent of the state school where i grew up. and we would occasionlly have over a higher level client for dinner, or bring them to go sailing, and stuff like that. well there was this one guy in particular that was just a normal guy. he told me he was normal and that his partents had brought him there and forgot about him. but he really wasnt slow. (people at state schools are usually the ones forgotten by there families) anyways eventually i was a freshman in highschool and i think he was a junior. well eventually i noticed at lunch that the dude was selling drugs on the side. i tried to tell my stepfather about it, but nothing ever really got done about it. honestly i have nothing against people like this. seeing as how i have been around them my entire life, and feel very comfortable with them. but i guess sometimes they can do things that make me laugh regardless; no matter if there mentally slow or not. and when i said funny i was thinking more on the lines of the girl that was doing the pimping. *didnt mean to offend anyone*
