True but I know a lot of men in their 30’s and 40’s that play those kinds of internet/phone games that aren’t pedaphiles. His internet history and phone should show if he is in to kids sexually. I’m sure they’re looking into that.Honestly tho....he's a 31 year old man.
I think he's a predator. Why else was he even playing that game on that site to begin with? This is one of the things predators do.
Yeah, definitely predator. imoHonestly tho....he's a 31 year old man.

I know people in their 50's that play these games even older.True but I know a lot of men in their 30’s and 40’s that play those kinds of internet/phone games that aren’t pedaphiles. His internet history and phone should show if he is in to kids sexually. I’m sure they’re looking into that.
I know lots of people that play these games and they are NOT predators far from it. The games are fun!Honestly tho....he's a 31 year old man.

They might not be but this is what those that are predators do sometimes. This 31 year old man convinced a young teen to get raped and send him the video. He met her through an online game that he used to lure her and manipulate her.I know lots of people that play these games and they are NOT predators far from it. The games are fun!
A discussion about all of this won't step on toes.
Firstly, the authorities had to charge him with that offense because of the videotape on his computer/phone.
Unless it is murder, there are mitigating factors in felony cases.
What if B.D.R.'s motivation was to "save" S.P. and he believed that in order to "save" her there needed to be proof.
I can't think of a more horrible way to get "proof" other than being murdered. It was atrocious but without this "proof", the stepfather wouldn't see any jail time. In my opinion.
There is no dispute that B.D.R. drove there, took S.P. (a minor) across a state line. There is evidence that B.D.R. requested the rape be taped for "proof", and that S.P. sent it to B.D.R. There's no disputing that either.
The argument will be whether there were "mitigating factors". What was his motivation behind all of this? Any criminal history in his background?
His D.N.A. will have already be inputted into CODIS so any matches to crimes/rapes will be discovered if evidence exists in CODIS that matches his D.N.A.
We don't know what B.D.R.'s mother will testify to any of this. I don't know if she was as frightened as S.P. and B.D.R. This will all come out in the Grand Jury.
Sometimes there's an indictment and sometimes there isn't. It's up to the Grand Jury.
Then, if and when it goes to trial, there's still no guarantee that the jury there will convict. And if they do, it could be to a lesser charge. Anything can happen in court and usually does.
I really believe that the top-notch lawyer B.D.R. has representing him is motivated by the "gray areas of the law"/mitigating factors.
I think this case could set a precedent.
I can't even imagine this "only sheltering" to be the truth. To me, it's obvious it was a ruse. I'll bet they find more child *advertiser censored* on his computer too. jmoIf BDR actually in his twisted mind believed he was helping SLP, and the facts show that he only "sheltered" her in Wisconsin, this will be a fascinating legal case, and a media/tabloid sensation.

Agree!I can't even imagine this "only sheltering" to be the truth. To me, it's obvious it was a ruse. I'll bet they find more child *advertiser censored* on his computer too. jmo
His case is in federal court. I'm sure all the interstate stuff is one of the reasons why.If BDR and SP first made contact on December 24th, that would mean this started in Georgia since they didn't move to the farm in Tennessee until December 27th. Is there a possibility of charges from Georgia also?
Well saidI am very much hoping that BDR did not get to the level of assaulting SLP physically...maybe it is too optimistic, but I DO think he might be a socially awkward loner who didn't have it in him to get to that point.
However, after reading everything that has come out, I agree with everyone who thinks this was NOT just a misguided good Samaritan. The smoking gun, for me, is that he claimed he was afraid the evidence wouldn't hold up after HE was the one to tell her to make the tape in the first place. In fact, he all but forced her to do it, taking advantage of her obvious desperation.
I could reserve judgment if he had hidden SLP while waiting to see if the police took the tape seriously - IOW, if he had sent the tape to them from a burner phone purchased far away from where he lived, and then hidden her until the adoptive father was arrested. But that isn't what happened, and no amount of social awkwardness can excuse the course he seems to have taken. This was someone who was getting some sick thrill from the situation, regardless of how far it escalated or didn't.
I so hope SLP and her siblings can stay together...I know it is so hard to find people to take in groups. I'm hoping the publicity in this case might raise an angel for them if it turns out there isn't family who can safely look after them right now. I also hope the younger siblings aren't angry at her... she likely saved them from [further] horrors, but they might not be able to understand that, only that their life has been turned upside down.
