I just now realized Wendy's total charges. So going off of the charges -SHE committed sexual abuse (IE the sodomy charge)? Can someone explain her charges?
Dustin Kent (and all of them) make me SICK
Section 13A-13-6 - Endangering welfare of child.
(a) A man or woman commits the crime of endangering the welfare of a child when:
(1) He or she knowingly directs or authorizes a child less than 16 years of age to engage in an occupation involving a substantial risk of danger to his life or health; or
(2) He or she, as a parent, guardian or other person legally charged with the care or custody of a child less than 18 years of age, fails to exercise reasonable diligence in the control of such child to prevent him or her from becoming a "dependent child" or a "delinquent child," as defined in Section 12-15-1.
(b) A person does not commit an offense under Section 13A-13-4 or this section for the sole reason he provides a child under the age of 19 years or a dependent spouse with remedial treatment by spiritual means alone in accordance with the tenets and practices of a recognized church or religious denomination by a duly accredited practitioner thereof in lieu of medical treatment.
(c) Endangering the welfare of a child is a Class A misdemeanor.
I think this charge speaks for itself and the 2nd section is what would apply.
Alabama Code - Section 13A-6-63: SODOMY IN THE FIRST DEGREE
(a) A person commits the crime of sodomy in the first degree if:
(1) He engages in deviate sexual intercourse with another person by forcible compulsion; or
(2) He engages in deviate sexual intercourse with a person who is incapable of consent by reason of being physically helpless or mentally incapacitated; or
(3) He, being 16 years old or older, engages in deviate sexual intercourse with a person who is less than 12 years old.
(b) Sodomy in the first degree is a Class A felony.
And deviate sexual intercourse is defined as:
Alabama Code - Section 13A-6-60: DEFINITIONS
The following definitions apply in this article:
(1) SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. Such term has its ordinary meaning and occurs upon any penetration, however slight; emission is not required.
(2) DEVIATE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. Any act of sexual gratification between persons not married to each other involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another.
She obviously did more than just cover up the crimes. Not sure if I need to explain more.
Alabama Code - Section 13A-6-65.1: SEXUAL TORTURE
(a) A person commits the crime of sexual torture:
(1) By penetrating the vagina or anus or mouth of another person with an inanimate object by forcible compulsion with the intent to sexually torture or to sexually abuse.
(2) By penetrating the vagina or anus or mouth of a person who is incapable of consent by reason of physical helplessness or mental incapacity with an inanimate object, with the intent to sexually torture or to sexually abuse.
(3) By penetrating the vagina or anus or mouth of a person who is less than 12 years old with an inanimate object, by a person who is 16 years old or older with the intent to sexually torture or to sexually abuse.
(b) The crime of sexual torture is a Class A felony.
She obviously used more than just her own body according to the allegations.
Alabama Code - Section 13A-6-69.1: SEXUAL ABUSE OF A CHILD LESS THAN 12 YEARS OLD
(a) A person commits the crime of sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years old if he or she, being 16 years old or older, subjects another person who is less than 12 years old to sexual contact.
(b) Sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years old is a Class B felony.
And sexual contact is defined as:
Alabama Code - Section 13A-6-60: DEFINITIONS
The following definitions apply in this article:
(1) SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. Such term has its ordinary meaning and occurs upon any penetration, however slight; emission is not required.
(2) DEVIATE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. Any act of sexual gratification between persons not married to each other involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another.
(3) SEXUAL CONTACT. Any touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a person not married to the actor, done for the purpose of gratifying the sexual desire of either party.
Again, I think it kind of speaks for itself. The thing that obviously jumps out to me is that the victim was under 12.
