STEPHENS COUNTY, Okla. - A Comanche man has been arrested and charged on four counts of first-degree rape. 18-year-old Derrik Weatherly is accused of raping a six-year-old girl at least four times. Stephens County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Weatherly late Wednesday night after the girl gave disturbing details of the rapes. Thursday, deputies arrested the mother of the girl. And they said there could even be more arrests to come.

The rapes have been going on since May. The girl complained about the events to her mother, but the mother told officials she didn't believe her. Law enforcement had no idea the young Stephens County girl was repeatedly raped for several months until she was brought to a hospital and hospital officials picked up the phone.

"We had a call of a possible abuse of a small child and we met the victim at the Duncan Regional Hospital where the investigation started," said Sheriff Wayne McKinney.

The six-year-old gave descriptions of her babysitter Derrik Weatherly's genitalia and what he did with it. And after her very detailed account, deputies brought him in. He later confessed to it all

Normally, I am very, very liberal on the sentencing of criminals. But this crime is the worst.

I think this guy should get 38 years at 85%. It is violent crime and he should do at least 30 years. Not enough to warrant a life sentence but comes close to it.

1. If there are crimes to not be lenient with, surely this would be one of them. Poor girl.

:(

[flvegan]

2. How in the fuck would a 6 year old lie about being raped?

Seriously. That mother is suspicious at best if that little girl did indeed complain to her.

And I disagree. Life sentence sounds just about right. Miserable little fuck.

[LisaL]

4. The guy is described as child's babysitter.

The article also says DHS warned the mother not to have her child around him, which the mother ignored. The article says the mother is being charged too.
Good.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. Agreed. The mother, especially after having been warned, should be charged as well.

[derby378]

30. Definitely - prosecute the mom and see if she ignores her daughter anymore

:mad:

9. Reaching for the paramedic hat

you'd be shocked what minors tell at times in abuse situations and parents don't believe.

It is ALWAYS the same... kids have vivid imaginations... or my all time favorite, involving a favorite uncle... he is so nice to them and takes them out for ice cream.

I trained my medics to have their BS detector finely tuned whenever they took a kid with any injury that could be sexual in nature, and to keep a good ear open under any other situation.

And yes, I personally transported a ten year boy who was raped by his favorite uncle, yep, the ice cream guy.

Oh that is the Mexican Legal System, assuming he survived... he should be getting out in ten years or so.

And no, I am not kidding, prison populations around the world are not kind to child abusers... and they tend to have way too many accidents. Some of them even lethal, and a few involve bars of soap and I swear that is what the report will say...

[CoffeeCat]

36. I would guess that most prisoners...

...were probably abused as children--physically, emotionally and/or sexually.

So, when an abuser walks in--they probably don't stand a chance.

[nadinbrzezinski]

41. Plus they have kids themselves

[CoffeeCat]

3. The mother should do hard time too...

When a six-year-old describes rape to you--you believe her. How in the world
would a six-year-old know about sexual behavior like that, without being abused?

This is so revolting. To be abused like that, and to be betrayed by your own
mother---so painful.

[Echo In Light]

35. +1

[emilyg]

5. Poor baby.

:cry:

[sandnsea]

6. I have no problem with life for molesters

I think it's the worst crime there is, almost worse than murder because the victim has to live with so much trauma themselves.

[Jennicut]

7. Really terrible. I have two girls about the same age.

They would not lie about this if unprovoked and not told what rape is. Kids that age have no idea. If my girls told me something like that happened I would believe them right away. Very sad. :(

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. Great mom!

:sarcasm: Lock him up and throw away the key! The mom too!

[ampad]

10. I think you are still too liberal

IMO, nothing is good enough for this monster except death. This is a crime that calls for an eye for an eye. He might not of physically killed this child but he emotionally and mentally killed her. There are parts of her that she will never, ever regain or know. This bastard should have his unit cut off and feed to him. After that they should drag his sorry ass across a bed of nails. Finally put this scum bag in front of a firing squad. As for the mother. Well she needs to be sterilized. Let her do the 38 years as well.

[BoneDaddy]

25. I tend to agree

there is no redemption for an act like this.

[Maru Kitteh]

11. I despise every baby rapist of every hue and stripe but I'm not shocked to see the racism in this OK

headline.

"Black teen charged with raping 6-year-old."

"Korean-American teen charged with raping 6-year-old."

Hispanic teen charged with raping 6-year-old."


All headlines you would not see because they would rightly be considered racist, as the ethnic identification of the rapist is not relevant to the despicable act the person is accused of. I see the same kind of bigotry here in NE, especially on the northern border.

[REP]

13. I think that's the town

[LisaL]

14. It is the town.

In Oklahoma. Where the man accused of raping a child lives.
It has nothing to do with his race.

[dionysus]

31. DOH!

:rofl:

[LisaL]

15. The accused man is from the city of Comanche.

The article says nothing about his race or ethnicity.

[Maru Kitteh]

16. Well then! That changes everything!

Okie dokie.

That's what I get for reading three things at once - poorly.

[Iggo]

17. Hey, I read it like you did.

I was thinkin', "What the hell does this have to do with
his being Comanche?"

[Obamanaut]

46. Put an ice pack on that knee. It might have jerked something loose

inside.

[Czar One]

18. Why so specific re ethnicity?

Fuck what the article's lead-in is. A man raped a girl: That, in and of itself, is sufficiently shocking!

[hlthe2b]

19. that was my first thought... What a racist headline....

until I realized he was from the community "Comanche"

[TannerBoyle]

21. Who cares if the headline is seemingly racist or not?

The issue here is that the guy was raping a little girl.

Instead of focusing on the headline, you should be focusing on the crime.

[hlthe2b]

22. You aren't very good with reading/comprehension

I take it? The crime was hideous. He will pay the price. CLEARLY no one on this website would argue differently, so your self-righteous sanctimony is undeserved. I was not responding to you, but to a point made by another. Get a clue. :eyes:

(and yes, racism DOES matter, though that was not the case, in this instance)

[TannerBoyle]

23. I don't care who you were responding to.

I was making a general statement.

And, I stand by it--racism doesn't matter in this case one way or the other.

If you're going to be upset about something at first glance, then imagined racism should be the last of your worries.

It should be the fact that a 6 year old girl was raped.

Get a life, and some common sense.

40. Fuck it doesn't. I'm so sick of racist A-holes and their apologists. Racism ALWAYS matters.

Your defense of racism and a racist headline (even though this headline proved not to be) is utterly and completely despicable.

It speaks as to just what kind of person you are.

A person can be appalled and disgusted by by both the act committed and any racism conveyed in a headline at at the same time and the only kind of person who would dismiss the racism would be a racist.

You should know two wrongs don't make a right, or didn't they teach you that at Sunday-go-to-meetin'?

Enjoy. your. stay.

[TannerBoyle]

42. I'm not defending racism. Or anything even close.

What I AM saying is that the repeated rape of a 6 year old girl is more of an issue than implied/imagined racism.

Maybe if the little girl in question was of color, and the guy who did was white, then this case would have meaning for you.

[Obamanaut]

48. Actually the headline was true. The problem with a lot of this is

so many people pissing all over their shoes with excitement looking for racism behind every rock and tree - and then jumping all up and down when they even think they find it.

Racism, bigotry, and prejudice are not interchangeable. They differ.

If you are at an ATM, 10 pm, and you recoil because you see approaching you a young black man with slouchy pants, wearing a hoody - that is not racism. If you are at the same ATM, 10 pm, and you see a young black man approaching you wearing a nice suit w/tie and carrying a briefcase and you don't recoil - that is not racism either. Both are acts of prejudgment, aka prejudice, based on what you have read in the papers and seen on teevee or maybe experienced personally.

The headline was true: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comanche,_Oklahoma

“Comanche is a small city in southwest Oklahoma set in rolling prairie land interspersed with oil fields, ranches, farms, pecan orchards, and timbered areas…”

[La Lioness Priyanka]

32. ARe you of color? because if you were, you would understand that these ethnic labels

are only used when its POC committing crimes.

[TannerBoyle]

43. It's none of your business...

...what racial/ethnic background I am.

And, none of what you're saying matters.

People should be more offended at the act of raping a 6 year old girl than they should if the perpetrator's race/ethnicity is mentioned in the headline.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

44. as though i can think of only one thing at a time. the racism in media is bothersome to me

which hardly means that i dont think the rape is awful

i dont know about you but most of us can process two or three different emotions at the same time.

and yes, whether or not you are a person of color does matter when you talk about racism. most white people arguing that something isnt racist, are usually talking out of their ass.

[BoneDaddy]

26. Christ, it is called reporting

and this recent move to remove ethnic distinction from reporting is ludicrous. We have become so damn PC that the basic reporting of the facts is now "racism".

The fact that he is Comanche is relative to the incident. It is important because it begs a bigger issue. How bad it is for "first people" in America. Alcoholism, abuse of all kinds and a host of other social issues plague our native population.

So if we take this so far, headlines like "republican congressman caught in airport bathroom tryst with undercover cop" should be changed?

[moriah]

28. I am really hoping that you forgot the sarcasm smiley. n/t

[BoneDaddy]

29. Nope...dead serious

This idea that we do not attach adjectives to the descriptions of people is ridiculous. Now, I understand how people may choose to interpret the information but that is just too bad.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

45. when have we become such an idiotic society that we dont see racism

in the media?

[BoneDaddy]

49. when we see it in everything

[cwydro]

47. He is not Comanche.

That is the name of the town.

[moriah]

27. Maybe this shows my cultural ignorance, but I immediately assumed it was a town.

Then again, due to my not-so-cultural-ignorance, I know many towns in Oklahoma are given Native American-sounding names. Still, though, I was really damn puzzled how anyone was reading a racial overtone to the article. Until I realized people thought the newspaper was targeting a person with Native heritage.

37. See post 15. n/t

[rug]

20. As always, these cases are complicated.

"He has limited mental functions. He has some mental problems. I believe he was a victim of a molestation when he was a child. He's not all there. Bottom line is, he still raped a six-year-old. He was cooperative. He confessed to the law enforcement officers," said District Attorney Bret Burns.

[redqueen]

33. IMO it's quite enough to warrant a life sentence, no possibility of parole. (nt)

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

34. Save some money - just take the asshole out behind the shed after the trial.

[Blue_Tires]

38. wow..if true that dude belong under the jail...

that 6-year-old will carry those scars for life...

[proteus_lives]

Not enough to warrant a life sentence?

There should be no consideration for this child-raping piece of shit. Life, no parole and in the general population.
