Girl Seeks Help On Facebook During Assault

Posted by samzenpus on from the emergency-status-update dept.

A 12-year-old girl who was being assaulted by her mother's ex-boyfriend used some quick thinking by sending a message on her iPod to a friend's Facebook account for help. The friend was able to contact the girl's mother who then contacted the police. 42-year-old Raymond Ernest Cesmat was arrested and charged with two counts of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree. He is being held at the Dakota County Jail on $175,000 bail.

    Oddly enough, at one time 12 was considered old enough, particularly in emergencies

    At one time, 12 was the age to get married, because in another year you will be ready to have children of your own to continue the family line.

    I guess the only thing one can take from these facts are, times change.
