Family Gets Driven Out of Missouri Town After Daughter Gets Raped

A horrifying story out of Missouri: A mother was run out of a small town after her daughter blacked out at a party filled with older high school athletes and was left, with clear marks of rape, on the front lawn of her home in freezing weather.

The Kansas City Star details how the small town of Maryville turned against a newly-arrived family after 14-year-old Daisy Coleman reported that an older athlete had sex with her while another older male videotaped, after she was given an alcoholic drink at a party that left her barely able to stand. Her friend, a 13-year-old, was also made to have non-consensual sex.

After a thorough investigation by the local police however, clearly implicating 17-year-old Matthew Barnett in the sexual assault, charges were inexplicably dropped by the prosecuting attorney. Barnett, coincidentally, is the grandson of a prominent former Missouri state representative.

Star reporter Dugan Arnett writes,

Sexual assault cases can be difficult to build because of factors such as a lack of physical evidence or inconsistent statements by witnesses. But by the time his department had concluded its investigation, Sheriff Darren White felt confident the office had put together a case that would “absolutely” result in prosecutions.

“Within four hours, we had obtained a search warrant for the house and executed that,” White told The Star. “We had all of the suspects in custody and had audio/video confessions.

“I would defy the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department to do what we did and get it wrapped up as nicely as we did in that amount of time.”
But no prosecutions ever came. The charges were dropped by the prosecuting attorney who didn’t believe the evidence was strong enough. He dismissed any idea that political influence had anything to do with his decision.
In the meantime, the town had already begun to turn on the Coleman family. Threatening phone calls and online threats were directed at the family. Melinda Coleman had moved to the town with her four children after her husband, a physician, had died in a car accident. She was easily targeted by the community for being an outsider.
The parent of one of the teens at the Barnett house that night was the only one to comment briefly to The Star: “Our boys deserve an apology, and they haven’t gotten it yet.”

In a later interview, Rice [the prosecuting attorney] called it a case of “incorrigible teenagers” drinking alcohol and having sex. “They were doing what they wanted to do, and there weren’t any consequences. And it’s reprehensible. But is it criminal? No.”

Robert Sundell, who represented Barnett, echoed that sentiment: “Just because we don’t like the way teenagers act doesn’t necessarily make it a crime.”
After the charges were dropped, things just got worse for Melinda and Daisy Coleman. Daisy has struggled with depression and attempted suicide. Melinda had to move away from Maryville and back to the town she had lived in with her now-deceased husband. In April, the house in Maryville she still owned burned down under mysterious circumstances.
And Matthew Barnett, the young man accused by Coleman of raping her? He’s attending the University of Central Missouri and apparently having a great time:
In a recent retweet, he expressed his views on women — and their desire for his sexual attentions — this way:

“If her name begins with A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z, she wants the D."

This just showed up on my facebook feed. This is becoming way too common.

common? idk about that.

What was was the name of that one guy on here who was a seeming “expert” on rape? Nathan Summers was it?

[Missing_Person]

common? idk about that.

More common. How many reports of this happening in the last two years have there been?

rape and rape culture are different, i think nathan and serpent were pretty adamant when it came to rape discussion threads. alot of shit falls under rape culture which is stupid.

thank gawd supertroll got banned to the other world or this would end badly quick…now it will just end badly in 3-5 pages.

[goodm0urning]

“Way too common” is relative.

And it is way too common.

I propose a solution: anytime star athletes from some shitty little podunk town get away with felonious assault of another human being just because people give way too much of a shit about sports, we fence the whole thing off, sell all the property to Disney, and sell the citizens into slavery.

Free workers in an age when cheap domestic labor is so hard to find, and we can always use more amusement parks.

Why arent you President yet, GM?

I don’t think the op knows what rape culture means.

I don’t think defending sex offenders is somehow more common now instead of in the past. All those fucked up incestuous cults in the 70s-80s, tons of rich or aspiring athletes or politicians getting get-out-of-jail free cards from their influential parents, other countries with barbaric women’s “rights,” etc. Back in the 80s my mom was stalked and eventually groped in the Army, she raised hell and eventually she got kicked out because the guy who did it had his nose jammed up the right ass.

Society is just more sensitive to headlines of this particular subject-- which is definitely a good thing, but if you’re actively looking for examples to confirm your assumptions, it leaves a false impression, like it’s World War R out there, ding dong is that the mail, no it’s a raping dick.

I’m thankful a number of them are stupid enough to incriminate themselves. Hope that never changes.

Edit: That could be phrased better, in that I hope it changes only in that even more of them end up doing it.

[thurst]

if you’re referring to the steubenville case, those guys both went to jail

[Evolution169]

Appalling. I wish karma was a real thing.

The only place were an actual “rape culture” actually exist is in Japan and India, which is what happens when you try to ultra feminize the male spirit. It starts to manifest in other less dignified ways.

That being said, I just wanted to point out that Greek yogurt is awesome even if it’s 100% rape culture free.

[thurst]

neal brennan said it best in my opinion, “rape culture” is actually alcohol/party culture.

[goodm0urning]

Every time I make a move, people start kvetching about how it’s “unconstitutional” and how my ideas make me a “power-hungry despot”. Meh, whaddayagonnado.

[ThePurpleBunny]

Do people not remember what happened the last time we had a white President?

[thurst]

“kvetching”? keep talking that jew talk and you’ll never be the president!

[crucades]

She didnt need to drink all the booze, nobody forced her to do shit from that story. Clear signs of rape? O Rly DNA test and there ya go. Swab the jocks n put em in prison.

Assholes raping chicks need to get put down, that is for sure, but sometimes bitches need a good life lesson to stop them fucking up in the future. Also this is good for the ‘Dont drink till your 18’ campaign.

This Barnett guy seems like a fucking idiot regardless, and thanks to lax reporting laws wherever this is from, am sure some white night will track him down rather easily and put the shoes to his ass.

not even, me saying a girl is hot…feminist will twist those words into a rape culture thing, basically alluding to…i may not be a rapist but the potential is possible purely on the fact…i wanna fuck a girl. for saying those words.
