Florida middle schoolers accused of raping teammate with hockey stick over two months

School officials reviewing policies in wake of rape case:
4 teens from Walker Middle School in Tampa, Florida have been charged as adults for sexually assaulting, i.e. prison raping, one of their flag-football teammates with a hockey stick and a broomstick. The rapes allegedly took place over a span of two months in front of multiple witnesses with no one coming forward, not even the victim.
It wasn't until the victim got into a fight on the field and said "I'm tired of them getting on me." That incident sparked a school investigation that resulted in the rapes coming to light.
Randall John Moye, 14; Raymond A. Price-Murray, 14; Lee Louis Myers, 14; and Diamante J. Roberts, 15, all admitted in written statements to the rapes. They've all pleaded not guilty and are all out on $15,000 bail.
As is usual in these cases someone has to come out and say how these alleged rapists are nice boys...
Defense attorneys told the judge their clients were good students and had never been in trouble before. Attorney Tim Taylor, representing Randall Moye, said his client's family is among the finest in the community.
Taylor presented six character witnesses, including his client's mother, Jeanne Myers, who said her son wants to attend college. The prosecutor asked her about her son's written statement about the attacks. Myers said her son described clowning around in the locker room with a hockey stick. She added that he told her about holding down the victim for a few seconds.
And I'm sure she believes him. Sodomizing a 13-year-old with a hockey stick is not clowning around. If you think it is I'd hate to be at your family reunion.
All suspects are looking at 120 years behind bars but as history has shown It's unlikely these future date rapers will even see the inside of a cell.
Again what causes some athletic types to consider sodomy as a way of team building considering athletes tend to be the most homophobic of people.

and when these kids get away with this (and history says they will) what then?...
The mother says her son wants to attend college? No shit?! He should have thought about that before he RAPED another person. When are parents going to stop defending the sick and depraved actions of their children? They are only creating a situation in which the child will continue to feel justified in his actions, and will increase the violence of his behavior because he believes that he will get away with it. I wonder what song that mother would be singing if her son had been on the receiving end of that hockey stick? All of the boys involved in the attack SHOULD get lengthy sentences.......but they probably won't. What a sad commentary on the state of our society. :sad:
