Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
This very same thing happened to me in an FCPS elementary school about 45 years ago, repeatedly in 5th grade. Others did the same but perhaps didn't develop a taste for it. He did it consistently. The deviant finally moved on to middle school, then moved before HS, and I was safe. But it sticks with me to this day. The perp tried to friend me on Facebook years ago, so I guess he wasn't in prison. The thing is, no one ever said anything, not teachers who had to have seen it happen; we walked in lines, the boy who was doing this had to step out of line in order to do it as we passed in the hallway. Groping between the legs, back to front as I walked past. There was no help. I was much younger than these girls and felt a tremendous amount of shame. Teachers saw and did nothing. I didn't talk to my parents about it. I should not have had to, though. Teachers saw, and they knew what was going on. Maybe they were waiting for a 9-year-old girl to speak up. Maybe they thought it wasn't a big deal. When I finally moved on to middle school. I had long since adopted wearing a long zippered hoodie every day (I alternated between a green and brown one from the Gap). This was way before hoodies were popular. My mom bought me nice clothes and couldn't figure out why I always covered them with a drab and frayed hoodie. This wasn't an immigration problem; there were few to no Central American Migrants in my school, a handful of refugees from areas of the world that we'd created chaos in, and a Mexican family, but otherwise nada. This isn't an illegal problem; it isn't even a political problem. Deviants and sexual predators have to start somewhere, and eventually they grow up to be adult sexual predators who do far worse than groping. People look away because it's messy, or no big deal, or funny, harmless, or maybe it's the girl's fault for being weak enough to let it happen. Maybe for the same reason that teachers and admins know who the bad kids are, the ones who start fights, the ones who bully, and yet they do nothing because they are just waiting for the problem to move on, rather than dealing with the tough cases. Do you think only Central American migrants and their children grow up to be sex offenders? If that were the case, there would be no Brock Turners, raping semi-conscious women behind dumpsters. There are messed-up people in this world, period. And their first offense usually isn't the one where they get caught after having reached the upper limits of deviance and entitlement, ala Brock Turner, committing a public rape out in the open for all to see; they start in small ways. Brock Turner, an adult, was sentenced to 6 months for his crime; he served only 3. Tells you all you need to know about how seriously this country takes sexual offenses committed against women and girls. When I was an elementary kid, and surely not "asking for it," Fairfax County and FCPS weren't left-leaning or led by democrats. And the perp wasn't from Central America. It's a problem of not taking young women and girls seriously, plus an inexplicable practice of protecting budding sex offenders, which only serves to fuel their outsized sense of entitlement. Not much changes. The only thing that has changed is that these stories get chatter and outrage when they can be used as political wedge issues. No one outside of the victims and their families really cares about these girls. Do you think he started with someone's white daughter? Probably not; he honed his skills on young women who looked a lot like him, and it was brushed aside with no consequences, so he just grew bold enough to expand his circle of victims. Somewhere along the line, a whole lot of people who could have made a difference decided this was a nothing burger that would solve itself. No harm, no foul. They gave it the Brock Turner treatment. In this instance, why would you expect that this man would be treated any differently than Brock Turner? That animal raped a woman in public and got 3 months in a local jail cell. You want politicization, there you have it. This country has a male entitlement going unchecked problem, a Brock Turner problem, not a migrant problem. You could deport every migrant in the state of Virginia, and you'd still have the same problem. Unchecked entitlement. Fix that, and you fix the problem. |
Sad for you. I bet you did not tell the teacher and that is the problem. I'm not sure I would have at that age either. That does not excuse this behavior and today women and girls should be more aware. But, it is true that Descano wants to let the kid out. It is also true they will not contact ICE. Do you not think he should be deported? Or, you think it is okay because of what happened to you? I suspect part of the problem is that this is not reported by the girls. I think it is likely that when they realized he was doing it to others, that they decided to speak up in a group. i may be wrong, but that is what makes sense to me. |
Also, I would not assume the teacher was aware of what happened to you. I didn't teach that age, but walking down the hall does not mean the teacher is watching everything that happens. And, if the teacher did see it, I find it hard to believe she would not have taken action. |
Sexual assaults in K-12 schools by is very, very common. Many people have stories. |
Does descano advocate for the prosecution of criminals or is he more on the side of defending them all. Maybe he should be a defense attorney lol |
| I don't understand how this isn't sexual assault. |
It is. |
The admin, the sheriff, and the prosecutor should be fired. The girls should not be subject to this guy going back to any school. |
| I don't give a crap about the politics blah blah blah, he sexually assaulted those girls and should be held in jail and prosecuted for sexual assault. |
Who tells or doesn't tell is not the problem. The sex pests - future sex offenders - are the problem. I don't know or care about this teenager's immigration status, but agree wholeheartedly that there are likely way more than 12 victims, and the unidentified ones are likely not white. This should have been caught and addressed long ago but instead enough observers thought the behavior was funny or NBD that it continued unchecked until the victim was someone people cared enough to defend. |
Do you know what happens normally? He gets charged, tried, sentenced, and then deported after he serves his sentence. That has always happened. Prior to Trump making the immigration wedge issue, which targeted and appealed to racists and their other target audience, the least educated amongst us, the most sincerely ignorant amongst us, there were laws to deal with these situations, something called due process. And no worries you are in good company if this applies to you, but most can't grasp the concept at all. But here's a short primer from the trenches. Legal immigrants, like green card holders, who committed minor property crimes, were getting tried, convicted, pled out, or found innocent and cleared or served time, etc., do you know what they all had in common? They went to renew their green cards and got denied, at which point they were detained, where they ended up in immigration prisons, awaiting hearings, sometimes for years, and then, in most cases, after due process, they were deported. For things like writing bad checks. If they committed serious crimes, they were detained, tried, and, if not found innocent, jailed and deported after serving their sentences, or even just deported. The law has to be followed. This is the way our country runs. We are all protected by the same laws, citizen or not, here legally or not. You need to face due process. Which is what is going to happen here. He had his day in court, and the judge said, " Nope, detention. He will have his day in court; maybe he'll plead out. If called, you'll have an opportunity to sit on the jury. Vote to convict... he will serve his time and be on a plane back home. Due process, in its various forms, is what we all have a right to. That's not a dem or repub. That's the law. |

Oh, and unfortunately, because this admin is clogging up the immigration courts, guess what, it's getting harder and harder to get the really bad guys. Think about it. This is what you should be angry at. The State can't deport anyone. If Trump's goons can find the hardworking roofer who's been here for 20 years and never broken any laws, and will nonetheless round him up and throw him in a detention center, with the bad guys, that's wasted resources. Which means the really bad guys are free to run amok. Where he is allowed to go free, ICE could have 100% swept in and abducted him in the cover of darkness, but how he's in the system, and he gets to face his accusers, the wheels will turn slowly... If you wanted swift, then he should have been let go, and ICE could have stepped in. Now he's under the state's jurisdiction... and they can't deport him... until he gets his due process... and they can't let him go on bail, where the Feds could swoop him up. So what do you want? Blame Trump for f/ing it up so badly. Blame his accusers for wanting justice. Blame the racists and sincerely ignorant for voting with their hearts instead of their heads.

| Let's get real . Regardless if this happens or not outside of illegals, this should not have happened at all as he should have been deported and not even in the country. The school can and should ask any adult enrolling into high school their immigration status. |
That's literally not how public school works. |
Totally agree. The school board, and all the Democrats raped these children by proxy with their policies and protection of illegals. Stuff like this is why youngkin got voted in , the liberal partner are all about inclusion until it rapes their own kids but they will never learn the core issue is the liberal policies |
