Women’s and Children’s Advocates on the Rockville Rape: The Sounds of Silence

Recently, the State’s Attorney responsible for prosecuting 18-year-old Henry Sanchez Milian and 17-year-old Jose Montano, the two illegal aliens accused of raping a 14-year-old girl in a Rockville, Md., high school bathroom announced that all rape and sexual assault charges have been dropped. (Both suspects are currently facing child pornography charges for having taken cell phone pictures of the alleged assault.) The reason: The facts no longer support the original charges filed. Allegedly, the victim “actively planned a sexual encounter” with the 17 year old suspect.
The defense was predictably quick to blame the victim. It’s standard practice for the defense in a rape case to claim that the encounter was consensual. However, it is comparatively rare for the prosecution, women’s advocacy groups, and children’s advocacy groups to quietly accept the portrayal of a child victim as a sexual predator seeking a kinky liaison in a high school bathroom. In fact, the characterization of this incident as a “planned sexual encounter” by both the prosecution and defense is as disturbing as it is distasteful.
