Wyoming couple suspected of grooming young girl to perform sex acts

[TexasTowelie]

Casper police arrested a couple Friday on suspicion of grooming the underage daughter of a family friend to perform sexual acts.

Lenard Smiley, 45, and his wife, Sonya Smiley, 50, were arrested Friday. Lenard Smiley was charged Monday in Natrona County Circuit Court with five counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor. Sonya Smiley was charged with one count of accessory to second-degree sexual abuse of a minor and three counts of third-degree sexual abuse of a minor.

The girl told her parents that the Smileys had been sexually abusing her while she lived with them in their house on the 900 block of East 13th Street intermittently between May 2015 and May 2016, according to court documents.

The girl, who was born in 2000, told police that she met the couple through a group in Casper that re-enacts 16th-century European history and considered them family friends. The girl told police that the Smileys would buy her gifts when she stayed with them. After several months, the couple told her she needed to do something for them in exchange for the gifts, the documents say.

1. "she met the couple through a group in Casper that re-enacts 16th-century European history"

C'mon. Like, who else you gonna meet there but perverts who were too ugly to get into a masquerade orgy?

4. Seriously

I happen to know several people who enjoy Renaissance Fairs. They are far from ugly and do not participate in orgies. I have no clue what you based your snarky insult on.

5. you must be fun at parties

6. If by fun

you mean participating in group sex and raping kids, no I am not fun. I tend to take that kind of stuff seriously, unlike you who seems to think it is something to joke and make snide comments about.

You seem to have lost your way. Free republic, where jokes about rape are acceptable is out the door and to the far right.

7. nowhere does this article mention rape

Sexual abuse was never trivialized and my comment was directed at the assailants. Calm down and don't be offended just to bask in the self-satisfaction. You're not doing anyone a favor. You need to pick your battles. The anti-PC shit seemed to be a rallying point for Trump supporters so try to refrain from hypersensitivity and focus on sensitivity.
This mentality is why stand-up comedians don't do college campuses anymore. People care less about the victim and more about circlejerking in their white knight complex.

Try volunteering at a battered woman shelter if you actually want to contribute like I do.

Edit: there's also nothing wrong with consensual group sex don't kink shame

8. really

just what do you think the charge is for, playing patty cake? 2nd degree sexual abuse of a minor. Your snarky remarks about the offenders, whether you admit it or not, did trivialize what they did to their victim. You basically said:hey they didn't really rape her, they were just to ugly to get themselves invited to an orgy!

I hope the Christ you don't volunteer with abuse victims with your attitude. Your anti-PC comment makes it sound like you are ok with rape jokes. Not trivializing rape is not PC; it is decent freaking morals. Like I said. Free republic is out the door and way to the left.

2. Where are the girls parents in all of this??

What parent in their right mind would allow their 15/16 year old child to live with another couple for a year?? Even if they were "family friends"

3. It almost looks like there are only 2 styles of parenting in the US now:

helicoptering and flaking out completely. At least this girl had the sense to tell them when things started to get really hinky.
