Poor girl with no one to protect her. It’s absolutely infuriating that her father picked this guy up and moved him into their home. The dad’s excuse is he thought the man was in his mid-20s? Why would you move in a boyfriend of any age for your 15-year-old daughter? Disgusting.

Agreed.
Somehow that kind of jailhouse "news" gets around fairly quickly... And apparently some inmates do not like this type of crime.

Hoping there is someone who knows and truly loves this 15-year-old who will help her with what she has endured. She will certainly need counseling and probably a doctor's care for how she may have been damaged physically, and she will need therapy and kindness.
