Obody has spoken about the fact an 18 year old man snuck a 14 year old child out of her parents’ house at 1:30 AM??? He was a MAN, 18, no MAN should even be hanging out with 14 year old girls, let alone sneaking them out of the house at 1:30 AM, and he was sexual with her then it was RAPE in NC, she was TWO YEARS from being legal for that 18 year old MAN!!! They weren’t known friends, contrary to his absent mom’s saying they were, sounds 100% like he was grooming her, a young kid, taking advantage of her youth and naivety. Think about it, what reason would this man be picking up a young girl for at that hour?? Even if they were going to the library, it’s not alright for a man to be picking up a 14 year old, sick in my opinion. I’m a dad, I’d be livid if my daughter was even hanging with 18 year old men for ANY reason, let alone if he was interested in her, let alone if they were intimate, let alone if his dumb sick a** was why she was murdered!!! She’d be alive today if he wasn’t some weirdo who picks up 14 year olds and takes them out at 1:30 AM . These are all facts and ithey need to be part of the discussion, men don’t “chill” with 14, it’s predatory and sick, and now we see why!
