"the woman then went to bed in her southwest oklahoma city home, but found Sheppard raping [?] the girl, her daughter, when she woke up. She held Sheppard at gunpoint until police arrived and arrested him.

He had better kill himself now.

They will most certainly kill him in prison.

By N.S.:

"police told the outlet that the 18-year-old man had communicated with his alleged victim through instagram for weeks before picking the 14-year-old up from school, taking her to a nearby park and raping her multiple times.

"he had claimed to be only 17."

It's rare that I can understand news "things" these days, without a reader's guide. It sounds like the girl thought the sex was great, until she somehow figured out that the stranger she'd just had sex with multiple times was a year older than she had thought he was. Then it was suddenly a matter of, "He raped me again and again and again!"

Based on the second part of the "thing," I'm now wondering if the first part was honest.

"The young girl told police that Sheppard had raped her several times previously."

I initially assumed--which the writer surely wanted me to--that the girl told the cops, "He forced himself on me again and again and again."

Now, it sounds more like, "We did it several times before this." Granted, it's statutory, but if he never forced himself on her, it's fundamentally dishonest to imply that he had. As for the instagram story, this is really tricky, legally. the authorities typically don't prosecute for statutory at all, if the guy is only three years older than the girl.

Is di--ing around readers a felony? If not, then it ought to be.
