My 12 year old daughter was introduced to a 27 year old man (friend of a friend) back in Feb. of this year. In Feb. this man purchased a bottle of whiskey for my daughter's minor(16 yrs) friend. My daughter recently admitted to drinking some of the alcohol. Another occurance took place where this same man took my daughter, and two of her other minor friends to a hotel, where they spent the night. She was supposed to be spending the night at a friend's house, but apparently they snuck out.
I filed a complaint against him with the police dept, and a detective brought him in for questioning. The det. felt that after questioning, no sexual improprieties had taken place, however she informed the man of my daughter's age and that if the det. heard of him being around my daughter again, she would charge him with contributing. The det. felt that she had made a significant impression on the man, and released him without charges.
*fast-forward to July 17 of this year*
It has come to my understanding that this same man took my daughter into a secluded area on a nature trail and had sex with her. My daughter admits that it happened, but that she loves him and sees nothing wrong with it. The story has been corroborated by two other friends(they observed them enter the woods together and return approx. 30 mins. later)
I of course called the police and filed a report. My daughter also filed a report. I am pressing charges against this man, but the process seems so slow, and my phonecalls aren't being returned by the det. working on the case.
I did some snooping of my own and discovered that this guy is out on 10,000 bail for indecent exposure.The victim's stats were not disclosed in the report, so I'm not sure if it was a minor, but I suspect it was.
My daughter has since been moved to another family member's home for a while, to remove her from the situation.
I have passed this man twice in traffic(small town), since this investigation started, and I don't understand why he's still enjoying his freedom, while my family is torn apart.
I feel as though someone has dropped the ball, I'm just not sure who at this point.
I accept some of the blame for this, as I am her mother, and am responsible for her well-being, but no parent ever expects something like this to happen.
