Cedar Hill teens took turns raping mentally disabled girl
Sylvanus Lanier, 19, Marco Garcia, 17, and Elijah Willis, 17 each were accused of taking turns raping a mentally disabled girl in a school restroom at Cedar Hill High school. They each face a felony count of aggravated sexual assault in connection to the rape in October. Reports say that each took turns standing outside the restroom and acted as lookouts while the 16 year old girl was being raped on October 19. The victim reported the assault 4 days after the assault and the teens were arrested last week. The victim says that she was ordered to take off her shirt and lift up her bra and she complied because she says that she was alone, scared, and felt like she couldn't leave.
She was then ordered by Garcia to take off her pants and he touched her. She tried to leave by Willis pushed her back in the stall and forced her to touch his penis. The surveillance video shows Lanier going into the bathroom with the girl and standing outside as lookout as well. Lanier remains in the Dallas County Jail in lieu of 100,000 bail and Willis' bail is 25,000. Garcia's bail was also set at 100,000 but was later bonded out of jail on Nov. 2.
After reading this article myself, I am absolutely horrified that 1. someone would do this and 2. that the victim and the boys live in the same city as my family and that I'm always in Cedar Hill myself. I know that there's evil everywhere but I didn't once think that it'd happen so close to me. The fact that Garcia was bailed out is terrible to me because they all deserve to rot in jail, in my opinion. Plus, the fact that she was taken advantage of because of her mental disability and because she's a girl just scares me. That could've been me, or my sister, or one of my friends. I hate that everyday the world has to remind me how terrible it actually is.

This is absolutely terrifying and disgusting. I'm completely shocked. I think Marco Garcia needs to most definitely go back to jail and actually take time to consider and discover the difference between right and wrong(and illegal, for that matter). And why was Willis' bail set lower? He was JUST AS guilty and wrong and absolutely disgusting as the others. Did it even go through their mind that this has completely changed the victim's life? The horror of it doesn't ever completely go away. I hope that these rapists rot and get what they deserve, and that the girl can hopefully recover.
ReplyDeleteA mentally disabled girl has as much of a reason as a mentally healthy person to not be preyed on. This is absolutely disgusting and horrifying and all of these boys need to learn a lesson.
ReplyDeleteThis is very creepy and disgusting. Who ever did this should be ashamed.
