telling her to record it the next time he does it is not the same as encouraging her to engage in being raped.
I agree, but it may have been cloaked in a different way - "the next time this happens, try to get a video so you have proof of the assault".
and he could have done it the moment she confided in him IMO. LE would have investigated, and removed all of the children from the home to keep everyone safe. Who knows how long his encouragement was going on??? OMG. There is simply no reasonable defense for this man IMO.
For LE to do what? with no evidence. we don't know what kind of sexual activities he made her engage in.
and there you have it - destroyed the girls phone... he absolutely knew what he was doing was wrong IMO
Agreed. Even assuming all that was for evidence, it should have been immediately sent to LE, rather than hiding her out for three weeks. He was leaving the other kids, especially, perhaps, the sister, in danger.
Her bio dad and his family live in Missouri.
