Gag Order Silences Parents of 6 Year Old Boy Charged With Sexual Assault for Playing Doctor.
STUPID PROSECUTER. RIDICULOUS. PLAYING DOCTOR IS NATURAL, AS IS SEXUAL INTEREST AND EXPERIMENTATION BETWEEN CHILDREN. SO LONG AS NO ADULTS ARE INVOLVED CHILDREN SHOULD BE FREE TO ‘PLAY DOCTOR’ AGE INAPPROPRIATE.
WISC-TV, the CBS affiliate in Madison, reports that Grant County, Wisconsin, District Attorney Lisa Riniker, who charged a 6-year-old boy with first-degree sexual assault becaused he played doctor with a 5-year-old girl, has obtained a gag order that prohibits his parents, who have sued Riniker and two other county officials, from talking about the case. Iowa County Judge Bill Dyke issued the order last Monday, forcing the boy’s parents to cancel a planned interview with WISC. The station spoke instead with their lawyers, who are not covered by the order:
“That behavior by a prosecutor is outrageous,”
said Christopher Cooper, an attorney for the boy’s parents….
“She [Riniker] bypassed the parents and sent a 6-year-old boy a summons, on which is a threat that the 6-year-old will go to jail for failure to appear,” Cooper said.
The attorneys said they have sought the opinion of many experts who said that children “playing doctor” is not a sex crime.
“[The experts say] a 6-year-old child is unable to intellectually and emotionally associate sexual gratification with the act that D has been accused of committing,” Cooper said….
Repeated calls to Riniker and an attorney for [her] and two co-defendants have gone unanswered since Friday, WISC-TV reported.
AND THIS FROM A LOCAL CHANNEL….
llinois attorneys Christopher Cooper and David Sigale represent the 6-year-old and his parents and said that Grant County’s Social Services Departmant “maintains customs, policies, and practices that caused harm to Plaintiff ‘D’”. “D” is used in place of the young boy’s name.
The suit claims that a game between three children should have been handled between parents — not the law, adding that in spite of “D’s” claim that he was touched wrongly by the 5-year-old, that child faced no charges because he was the son of a prominent Grant County official.
