Im assuming 18 or older because there were earlier msm articles detailing he was with victim #1 (as was Paul, and I think they are about the same age). They were adults and she was under 13. Derek also has a child and knows the importance of loving /protecting someone so innocent. HE knows how bad it hurt him (emotionally and physically) as that 7 year old. He gets zero lead way.
I have nothing but sorrow for any videos, actions etc done when he was younger and taught that it was normal and god knows what else. But I have read every public document and when he was arrested it was unbelievable - I paid close attention to it. Do I think he's remorseful now that he's been caught, has sat in jail the longest (dont' forget he cut his bracelet and was at a meth house on the one damn chance he had, hooking up another girl)and had time to hear and think? Yes. Do I think he would have stopped or truly felt this way if he hadn't been arrested, the drugs taken away, sobriety FORCED etc? Nope.
I'm cranky (I tested positive yesterday for h1n1 so Im beyond miserable right now) so please don't take this as me coming at you with claws out. I take it all pretty personal because my offender was rather young when he raped me, he was abused as a child - does he deserve a pass? No! And I wasn't the only one - proving he liked it. This was normal business at the Woods. Pills and sex.
I find it really gross that Wendy, Derek, and Paul have all been out of jail at some point - gotten right back on facebook and bragged about their new lives, money, partying, their sex life, gotten tattoos, new hair styles etc - it's like, even after being caught they didn't care and went right about their personal lives of nothing but deviant behavior. Paul seems to have "found jesus" but most of his posts consist of wishing some female was there with him - so once again, life revolves around their genitals.
There comes a point and a time when you make an active choice whether or not to participate in something. They all had a choice to say no and NOT go over to Donald's or to be best buddies with the man and his disgusting wife. God only knows when Dustin got involved. I really think this all started with RSW, Wendy and Mendy. I think Donald and Dustin just met their match. I think this is a wood thing and not a holland thing, given the grandmother. So with that said, Chessie sure as **** didn't see anything wrong with it all either.
I know the argument is that if no one viewed it as wrong then no one would speak up and there for nothing would be expected to ever stop. This would continue and continue until they ran out of kids to groom. But this isn't the stoneage. This isn't a time in the world where people don't discuss this "sort of thing". Everyone in this case was on facebook, and that means they had access to social media. That means they would know what they were doing is considered taboo. Obviously this wouldn't be the case for derek and paul when they were younger but they've at least had myspace since 2007 that we all found. They knew. And they are guilty. 18 isn't a magic # where we grow a set of morals, it's just when charges get more serious if we are caught. People that are under 18 and doing rape, incest and molestation aren't innocent ALL the time either.
I thought it was an important detail to stay with the info in your post for those late night readers with lightbulbs flickering.
