IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. —
Iredell County deputies said they arrested a man they say sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl he met online.
Officers said a mother found Jarred Workman, 27, of Albemarle, hiding in her daughter's bedroom closet Friday.
Workman made his first appearance in court Tuesday morning.
People inside the courtroom gasped at the charges Jared Workman is facing --16 counts of first-degree statutory rape.
If convicted on all of them, he could serve life in prison without parole.

You really should review your comments before posting...........or did you?
lived in her closet?
or hid there?
lol
bullets are cheaper
expecting adults to behave like adults is so old fashioned I guess
I know what you’re saying. People may blast me for saying so, and I haven’t read the whole article yet, but if somebody in my closet were assaulting me, I would sure do whatever I could do to get him the hell out of my closet. Unless he was blackmailing me. The guy who raped me apparently did time for statutory rape before that and was blackmailing the girl.
Forcible rape: what was always called rape, before legislatures started creating crimes called rape on the basis of a notional (and arbitrary) age of consent, before feminists started calling seduction "rape", or even fully consensual sex initiated by the woman "rape" if the woman loosened her inhibitions with a bit of alcohol, then regretted it the next morning.
sarcasm? i thought you had properly described the standard ploy used by pedophiles in society today
“he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.”
Dude how do we know she was a virgin to start with? This is the age of Planned Parenthood after all.
I’m not an ordained pastor, I’m no expert in these things.
Of course there are more verses to apply in various cases.
The Bible consistently prohibits and exhorts against whoredom. If a daughter is unmarried and habitually having sex in her parent’s house, her parents are prostituting their own daughter.
Leviticus 19:29 “Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.”
Certainly the first time there is a prescribed penalty to be paid to the father. The first time would certainly indicate also a failure on the part of the parents to teach, guide and protect their daughter, if she was a willing participant. The Bible teaches that parents have an obligation to teach their children the Bible from the beginning of the child’s life, and on a daily, consistent basis. Such good teaching requires a close daily relationship between parent and child, which, of course, lessens the possibility of a child “going rogue” like they are very prone to do without such a close, godly relationship with their parents.
The second time ? I doubt the father would be due another payment, as that, IMHO, would fall under the category of prostitution / whoredom, but I could be wrong about this.
Homeschooling keeps all the wickedness of public schools out of the home as well, which helps guard against these types of sins as well as many others. Of course, the pitfalls of children communicating significantly with others outside the family with zero parental oversight are severe and obvious.
“Leviticus 19:29 “Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.””
Good verse however Planned Parenthood worships Molech. Prostitute their daughters? These are people who climb over bodies of dead bodies of babies for a dollar bill so it’s pretty safe to say they are okay with prostitution.
and hey never said you were a preacher just said I doubted this chick was a virgin so really this bible verse did not apply. If she was sneaking a man in her closet you know she got laid before. Don’t be delusional, girlfriend here’s been getting it on for some time. The problem is her parents did not start when she was small at teaching her morals. Now planned parenthood has. Now she’s amoral. Now it’s gonna be hard to undue what society has taught her.
Deuteronomy 22 presents perfect justice in this regard, which I did not mention.
“13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
16 And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.”
So, I guess the only Biblical choice is to find a husband that will marry her knowing and accepting that she is not a virgin.
