American Thinker: Late last week, in the Friday afternoon media dead zone, Montgomery County, Maryland prosecutors announced their decision to drop rape charges against two illegal aliens who were accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl at a local high school. This is being presented in the mainstream media as a difficult but principled legal call based on contradictory evidence. But the case, which garnered national attention, including from the Trump administration, was also a political hot potato that authorities in very liberal Maryland wanted very much to be rid of, regardless of the cost.
As a former prosecutor who has successfully prosecuted rape cases, and also declined to do so, I’m hesitant to directly criticize another prosecutor who may have had to make a tough call, especially since we are not privy to all the evidence in the case. That said, state’s attorney John McCarthy’s decision in the matter stinks to high heaven. Montgomery County is not technically a sanctuary jurisdiction, but a city within its boundaries, Takoma Park, is, and county authorities in general are highly sympathetic to aliens and hostile to the Trump administration.
What know about the case is that the two undocumented students charged, Henry Sanchez Millian, 18, and Jose Montano, 17, had sex with a 14-year-old fellow student in a Rockville High School bathroom on March 16. That is not in dispute. According to the girl, the accused students took turns raping her as she struggled against them. Millian and Montano say the sex was consensual.
Supposedly, a surveillance video suggests that the girl entered the bathroom not under any obvious duress. She also exchanged sexually suggestive text messages and images with one of the accused in the days before the assault, which among today’s teens is called flirting.
We don’t know how credible a witness the girl is, but evidently, her account was sufficient for authorities to bring the charges initially, though they are explaining this away now as a way to keep the two undocumented teens in custody, lest they attempted to flee. However, we do know that at least one of the suspects lied to police initially, claiming that the three went into the bathroom to tell jokes, which suggests that Montano’s and Millian’s current accounts – that they engaged in consensual sex with the girl – are not the most credible, either. more
What’s the video say?
I’ve sat trials and put perps in prison. What does the video
say? Stop with all the snide bullshit from consensual to rape
to an attack. The media has really fucked this story up from
all sides. If the grand jury says it don’t look like a case,
then it probably don’t.
What the question should be is whether a 14 year old, no matter how soiled by the culture she has grown up in, is allowed to surrender herself into the hands of these predators on public property, especially property designed and dedicated to her welfare.
14 years old is well under age of consent even if the girl has a previous history of prostitution or sexual abuse.
Would this be forgiven if the males were teachers aides and the girl still consented? This stinks of politics not ethical care of students in a school system.
“because the feminist agenda is much less pro-woman than it is pro-left.’
Pretty much sums it up…
Last time I checked, Any sexual encounter involving anyone under the age of 16 with anyone over the age of 16 (especially an 18 year old) is considered by law….statutory rape!!!
Muzlimz can make a lot of money for the Shitria cause by raping lesbian dykes on film and videoing it for sale. The macho muzlimz must convert the dykes in the name of allahvodka and it will all be legal and the left will be catatonic in response.
How much longer before this becomes real and we are reading the exact thing in the press?
God help the conservative population of Western Maryland. Annapolis does not serve you well.

God damn the conservative population of Western Maryland to eternal fire. Rather than stand and end the evil amongst them, they pay for its presence.
I will bet you any money the rapists are in their 20’s.
