"My problem is this, we don’t have any evidence, for one thing. On top of that, we don’t even know the full story.
- Did he confess to it?"
I don’t know. His parents have defended his actions, whether he admitted (if we’re assuming they’re true) to them or not. I will try to find out, though I don’t know if my source will know.
“2. What was this item he was keeping from her? It would have to be something extremely important to make her do something she doesn’t wanna do.”
Important to her is, I am guessing, what you mean here. And, again from what I know, it was her books and possibly more. And it wouldn’t have to be much of anything important . . . some people’s self-esteem is at the point where they will do anything to keep what little they have.
“3. Why did she tell them earlier? I can understand not trusting her parents enough to tell them she was forced to give oral sex after the fact. What I don’t understand, is why she would feel she couldn’t tell them that someone was trying to coerce her. In other words, it’s one things to be too embarassed to tell your parents you were raped. It’s a whole nother to not tell them someone stole from you. I can’t see any reason why she couldn’t just tell people.”
She, as far as I know, didn’t tell them earlier. From what I gather, she didn’t feel her parents would trust her, or didn’t think it was important . . . I don’t want to speculate here on the reason or reasons, but she didn’t tell them earlier.
I think one of the big reasons you can’t understand her actions is that you don’t know the girl. Perhaps she (speculation) was placed in foster care after her birth parents were abusive and nobody believed her. Perhaps she thought “this, too, shall pass.” I don’t know why she didn’t tell, but I’ve been in similar situations and the only thought worse than “I will get this more” is “What if nobody believes me?” If she had told someone and not only had that person not believed, but dragged the boy into this, I don’t think it’s outlandish to suppose that it might get worse.
“The only way this would make any sense, was if he was blackmailing her with some knowledge or item that she would be embarassed to let others find out about.”
I don’t think that’s the case at all. I don’t know anything about her other than this. What I know is that she did this for six months because whatever she was protecting was, she felt, important enough to give this boy blowjobs.
I would love to know the entire story behind this. I’d also love to know the girl this happened to. However, I don’t, so what I tell you is, as others have pointed out, going by way of two sources: my mother and the girl’s mother. The girl’s mother and mine work in the same office, which is how I heard about it.
Again, I will try to find out more. My initial response to this story was as a survivor of sexual abuse. Had I been a victim of someone who claimed I abused them, when I did not, my reaction probably would have been radically different. I’m not asking everyone to believe me based on what I’m saying. I am saying that this kind of thing, whether or not it happened, shouldn’t EVER happen. There shouldn’t be a situation where this is a possibility. There evidently is, which is one of the fundamentally wrong things about this society, let alone the fact that this kind of thing does happen. Such things (sexual abuse) happen to entirely too many people.
