just someone..

what in the world makes you say that this is all the girls fault? seriously.. do you know this girl personally? NO.. im pretty sure you dont.. did she come to you and confide in you by telling you she wasnt telling the truth? i feel like the answer to that one is no also…
And when you say ‘i have never met you before’.. are you talking about Tony? so let me get this straight.. you NEVER met mr tony ellis… but you are SOOO sure that this child (the victim of this horrible crime i might add) is the one in the wrong? WOW.. what is this world coming to?
Let me just say I too was a victim of sexual assault. The one thing i was most scared was that no one would believe me. But lukely i had a great family and a great community behind me. and of course his family didnt think i was teling the truth. what parents, friends, family would want to believe that. IT HAPPENS! This isnt the 17th century anymore. I dont know the girl or the guy what-so-ever but i am praying for the truth to come out. if this girl is telling the truth her life will never be the same. i am 24 years old and this happend to me when i was a child and i still havent recovered. its so sad that the familes are going through this. but i do not think its fair to blame the girl just because you THINK or have a HUNCH she is a liar.

Well I have never met you before but all I have to say is that this girl is doing this all for the attention. Supposedly something didn’t happen that she wanted so she decided to do something stupid. She is taking away a lot of great things from him because of the allegations she is making and all I can the truth will come out eventually and I hope its a better ending for you Tony. You deserve for this to be over with and get on with your life and some of the things that I have been taken away from you because of the situation is just wrong and hopefully when you are proven innocent you will get it all back and given an apology by the people. I really do hope that you didn’t do this because from what I know you are a great guy and had a lot of things going for you and know you don’t want to see it all taken away. I hope she comes forward with the truth because if not she will regret it later. If that was my daughter I would expect her to tell the truth and not do this just to hurt someone.

Wow. What a mob. This is why rape is so under reported. Blame the victim mentality. He was indicted by a grand jury that doesn’t happen with no evidence. Is he guilty? I don’t know and neither do the rest of you.
BGA, It doesn’t matter if the 12 year old had been with 1,000 men before. She, or he, is a child and Tony is an adult. It’s always wrong for adults to have sex with children.

anonymous: I agree with you 100 per cent !

This is no more than a he said/she said situation. If I am not mistaken, we still live in a country where you are innocent until proven guilty!!

For those of you who are not aware of this fact, a grand jury can indict WITHOUT any physical evidence being presented. A person can be indicted on rape charges with no DNA or any other type of evidence against them. Any minor can state that he/she was raped (or any other form of sexual abuse) by an adult and that adult could be indicted on only the word of an alledged victim. The grand jury in this case was presented with NO evidence, only the fact that this alledged victim confided in an employee at her school that she had sex with Tony. This is no more than a he said/she said situation. If I am not mistaken, we still live in a country where you are innocent until proven guilty!!

One thing about time, it reveals all things.There is nothing hidden that won’t be uncovered. If the young girl is lying, the truth will be unfolded. If the young man is lying the truth will be unfolded..God Help All Parties Involved

I absolutely am not excusing or condoning this type of behavior. I was simply stating that teenagers are wired differently than adults. My heart goes out to the victim of this alleged crime and her family.

You have this community behind u. We as ur family know u r a good person. I am so sorry that somone wanted to boost their self image at ur expence. U hold ur head up high with pride. We will always be proud of what u have acomplished at Flomaton High.
And to all the people that have renderd tony guilty already, will u be making a comment when he is found innocent? Will the news cover that and give him something positive back that these ignorant people have taken away?
