News: State District Judge Mark Morefield on Friday wrote the final chapter in the notorious gang rape case of an 11-year-old Cleveland girl when he accepted the guilty plea of the last of 21 assailants.
Cordney Demond Bennett, 21, of Cleveland was positively linked to the case by a DNA specimen found at the crime scene, but authorities took a year before they were able to put a name to that specimen.
In the Liberty County plea agreement, Bennett received a reduced seven-year sentence in exchange for pleading guilty to indecency with a child by exposure. He also will be required to register as a sex offender for 10 years after completing the sentence.
The charge stems from a series of assaults of the young girl that occurred in 2010 in the community off U.S. 59 about 40 miles north of Houston. An investigation initially was launched when Cleveland school authorities confiscated recordings of the assaults that had gone viral and were being viewed on the Cleveland High School campus.
A vacant, dilapidated house located on the poorer side of town known as “the quarters” was where most of the assaults occurred, along with the home of one of the assailants.
Only two adult males requested trials, and juries handed both life or 99-year prison sentences. Eleven other adult males received 15-year sentences in exchange for pleading guilty to sexual assault of a child, while the seven juveniles entered guilty pleas for seven-year probated sentences.
COMMENTS:
* I remember that Cleveland, TX rape case very well. The hispanic girl was 11 and all of the accused, about 20 of them, were black. After two of them went on trial and got life sentences, everyone else rolled and got probation (if they were minors) and 15 years if eligible for adult trial.
It’s not that the media didn’t cover it. It was rather that outlets like the New York Times did extensive writeups, didn’t mention the race of the accused, and also allowed themselves to argue that the victim was inviting the assault because she was dressing like a 21 year old slut, etc.
You are right that Sabrina would have been all over that case if accused were white. Generally speaking, black guys who commit sexual assault are far more common, it isn’t really “news”, and I’m sure the SJW types think that, to even talk about it, is to encourage “racism.” It’s very strange.
And yet for all that I can’t find it in me to hate on Sabrina. Maybe later. Right now, she seems to have completely deluded herself in my view.
* Yes, Jackie Coakley is obviously a very experienced conwoman, preying on a trusting young Jewish journalist. She was able to manipulate Sabrina by insight into her deepest fears. The alleged rape on broken glass – the Night of the Broken Glass, as Dr Sailer put it, or Kristallnacht as we say in German- was a masterstroke pulled by a clever trickster.
Sabrina was impelled to recognise that even in 21st Century Amerika, hordes of Nazis were roaming Universities , smashing Jewish premises to bits and raping young girls.
At the trial, I’m sure it will be revealed that Sabrina Rubin Erdely comes from a long line of holocaust survivors and is therefore in no way responsible for her actions.
Elie Wiesel will not be appearing as her character witness, however.
* Sabrina Rubin has been a (((trashmeister))) her entire career, starting in her student years at UPenn when she was disciplined by editor Stephen Glass at the campus magazine for lying in her reportage.
Go to her vanity web site; look at her story credits listed there. “Prostitute moms,” “moms on heroin,” “altar boy victims of pedophile priests.” Then “gang raping blonde Southern fraternity men.”
Pulp filth.
Her previous pet-crazy-person story about “Billy Doe”/Daniel Gallagher helped send priests and teachers to prison (one priest died there) on the word of a sociopathic confabulator who is now a millionaire as a result of this concatenation of lies.
FWIW she started at UPenn as a bio/pre-med major but couldn’t hack (ha!) the work. She fell back on her involvement at the campus magazine 34th Street and became an English major.
She married a Center City Philly lawyer who specializes in representing lowlifes. They have two kids and live in a ritzy part of town. The one that contains Jewelers’ Row, not Section 8 houses.
She “has it all”…and yet writes with a degenerate imagination. Lingers over details of depravity. Peddled for money and power to major media outlets like GQ, Cosmo, and Rolling Stone. With the goal of destroying mainstream America and respect for it.
That’s not love for a story, SP, and I don’t see it as “belief for psychological reasons of her own,” as our host puts it. This is naked power.
I see it from an HBD perspective: as a very familiar sheer hatred for one’s population-genetic rivals, and a desire to humiliate while defeating them with false tales of victimization. The rewards for it in the M$M are rich indeed.
Daniel Gallagher ended up a millionaire. Jackie Coakley won’t. But the common element is, Sabrina Rubin Erdely used both of them to advance her fame and career. She’s still working. She has lost nothing; her hamartia is glossed over. She surely has no capacity for shame; if she did, she would have stopped writing lies in college.
* I think that Steve is giving this girl [Jackie Coakley] way too much of a pass. Let’s remember that she went to the University of Virginia. She had to have extraordinarily good grades and test school to be admitted to UVa, i.e. she’s smart and knows how to work within a system.
Now, she very well have mentally disturbed, but she wasn’t stupid.
Btw, that was the flaw in the story that jumped out at me right away. Kids who go to UVa are smart and have been working for years to get into a top-tier university. They’re some of the most future-oriented people you’ll ever meet and extremely cognizant of what stains on their record will do to those prospects. There’s absolutely zero chance that six or seven guys like that would gang rape a girl in their frat house. Every single one of them would be hyper-aware of the infinite number of ways that this act could destroy their carefully-crafted lives.
That the reporter and the readers didn’t recognize this fact shows what a skewed view they have of white men.
* I am really starting to see how the Salem Witch hysteria might have been solely the product of a society so in deference to young female privilege that literally anything they said was treated as Gospel truth.
Seriously, what else does “Yes means Yes” lead to but the conclusion that unchallenged “spectral evidence” is now all you need to convict a man on college campuses?
