Well, if it does turn out that she told someone at her school and they did not report it, then they are in some serious legal trouble.My gut is telling me something happened in GA that brought about the move and the home schooling. Perhaps she *did* try reaching out to a teacher or guidance counselor and instead of reporting it, like they should have, they called the parents in to tell them their daughter was making some serious accusations and they best have a talk with her. They might have thought if they kept her out of school she'd have no one to tell. I didn't actually see the pic with her chore list but from what was said here, it seems they were all about the outside animals. That would have afforded RP the privacy he needed under the guise of supervising her while she did her chores. So she strikes up a chat friendship with BDR and for whatever reason felt she could trust him. I think that just shows how desperate she was . He may or may not be a predator, time will tell, but 30's, game playing, living with mom may also be social anxiety and ego problems. If that's the case then being her rescuer would make him feel important. He didn't "convince her to let RP rape her" he was doing that anyway. He convinced her to tape it and maybe that's because she told him when she tried to get help before they told her there was no proof of her accusations?. Maybe there was no sexual component to what he did at all. Could be just wanted to be someone's hero. Maybe the video was indeed a poor quality and didn't clearly show RP's face and so they sent it to the police while he kept her hidden and then contacted the FBI. If it turns out I'm wrong then I want to see him punished to the fullest extent of the law. I don't think we have enough information at this point to know if he's zero or hero.
As far as the charges go, if the Assistant US Attorney is planning on charging BR with taking a minor across state lines for sexual purposes, then I imagine she has good reason to think he is guilty. Imo
