How could you have "proof on her cell phone"...here's a thought...maybe this alleged rape was a while back and the "proof" she had was a pregnancy result picture...JF would definately have to make sure MC did not tell a soul...EVER!!
Welcome Miss J!!
Did she share this information with you as "just another rumor" or was she one of the friends that was supposedly confided in? Or did she get the rumor from one of the friends who was confided in? Anything farther away I wouldn't put much merit to. But thank you for sharing Miss J!
I do wonder how a cell phone could prove a rape. Is the rapist gonna stop and pose for a picture? Doesn't really make sense in that regard.
This is along the lines of what I have suspected all along. This kind of thing does happen way more often then we are aware of. We like to think that if a mother knew she would leave, but you would be shocked about how many mothers deny it ever happening, or ask that it just be kept "hush hush". This could definitely be a strong motive for the crime. If JF started feeling pressure from MC it could very well be premeditated. At first I didn't think this was, but I am starting to really wonder.
Rapists play mind games. Some even stay in contact with their victim after the fact to try to brainwash them into believing that it was consentual. Our society portrays rape as always being a violent situation where women scream and fight. Any kind of unwanted sexual advance, whether you fight or not, is rape as long as you have made it clear you don't want to partake.
We all have different ways we respond to trauma. When a girl is raped but doesn't fight she often blames herself. She re thinks everything "maybe I could have said no louder, maybe I dressed a certain way that implied I wanted it, maybe it was my fault."
It's very possible that after it happened MC realized it was wrong and it wasn't her fault. She may have decided to stand up to JF. All that would need to be on her phone would be something like "You know you wanted it". Doesn't have to be a picture.
If you found out your 17 year old was raped you would be devistated.
If you found out that as a product of this rape you were going to be a grandmother, you would be even more devistated.
If you found out that your bf was the monster who did this you would:
A) Be like the majority of mothers and on the hunt to kill.
B) Be terrified for your own saftey.
C) Be in denial and decide your 17 yr old is lying. Choose to take your boyfriends side and do anything you can to keep her quiet.
I'm not saying WC took part in the murder, but if JF has her brainwashed enough it's very possible she deiced to be "loyal" and help anyway she can. Possibly providing keys or codes to homes?? Not because she *really* wanted to help, but she never wanted anyone to know what took place... In the past or that specific day.
This is all just my personal thoughts. Nothing is fact and based completely on rumors and "what-ifs" In other words, it's just me thinking out loud.
