Back to the outcome of the trial of the second man of the twenty to stand trial and the 21st male who plead guilty of sexual assault of the same victim in an unrelated incident.

Defendant in Cleveland gang rape case gets life sentence
By Cindy Horswell | November 28, 2012 | Updated: November 29, 2012 1:56am 

LIBERTY - Jurors took less than 10 minutes on Wednesday to hand a life sentence to Jared Len Cruse, who shook his head and dabbed his eyes with tissue after being convicted of participating in the gang rape of an 11-year-old girl.

Convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child in concert with others, the 20-year-old will not be eligible for parole.

Also on Wednesday, the Houston Chronicle learned that the Cleveland girl at the center of the gang rape that captured national attention was the victim of another sexual assault in Jefferson County.

According to investigators there, the assault occurred Dec. 12, 2011, when the girl ran away from Girls' Haven in Beaumont. She had been placed there after Child Protective Services removed her from her Liberty County home for her protection when the 2010 gang rapes were under investigation.

"But then she ran away from the home with another girl. Both were on the streets for about a week," Jefferson County prosecutor Ed Schettle said Wednesday.

At some point, she encountered 30-year-old Jacobi Gilbert, who had a prior conviction as a drug dealer in Fort Bend County. He assaulted her at his apartment in Beaumont and then pleaded guilty in September to aggravated sexual assault of a child in exchange for deferred probation, Schettle said.

'No choir boy'

Liberty County authorities view the rapes in Cleveland as more flagrant than the Jefferson County assault because of the number of men and boys involved and because the crimes also were videotaped.

Prosecutors had requested a life sentence for Cruse, stressing how he was "no choir boy." Shortly after being released on bail in the gang rape case, he robbed a convenience store and later shot a girl in the arm during a home invasion. He is serving an eight-year sentence for these two crimes that occurred in neighboring San Jacinto County.

After the life sentence was issued Wednesday, State District Judge Mark Morefield said, "Everyone loses in cases like this. It's sad for the victim, community and young defendants. But this kind of conduct cannot go unnoticed and unpunished."

 ::snipping2::

 Napper is now the 13th suspect to plead guilty.

Prosecutors expect a 21st suspect could be charged in the coming weeks.

15th suspect pleads guilty in Cleveland gang rape
 By Robert Stanton | January 14, 2013 | Updated: January 14, 2013 4:50pm

 ::snipping2::

The suspect, Cedric Deray Scott, pleaded guilty Jan. 4 to a felony charge of aggravated sexual assault, and also pleaded guilty to an unrelated charge of possession of a controlled substance, said Cleveland Police Chief Darrel Broussard.

State District Judge Mark Morefield sentenced Scott to 15 years in state prison on each charge, to run concurrently. Scott also received a two-year sentence for evading arrest.

Another Cleveland sex assault suspect pleads guilty
Posted: Monday, March 4, 2013 2:33 pm | Updated: 2:42 pm, Mon Mar 4, 2013.
By VANESA BRASHIER

Walter Jamal Harrison, one of last four remaining defendants in what has become known as the Cleveland gang rape case, pleaded guilty Monday morning, March 4, in the Liberty County courtroom of 75th District Judge Mark Morefield.

Harrison is one of 20 total defendants in the case — 14 adults and six juveniles. They are accused of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old Cleveland girl in the fall of 2010. The crime was reported to authorities after a video showing the girl engaged in sex acts with some of the defendants surfaced among students at Cleveland High School.

 ::snipping2::

In exchange for his plea of indecency with a child by contact, Harrison was sentenced to seven years deferred adjudication, which is unlike the other adult defendants in the case who have been sentenced before him. His sentence is more aligned with the juveniles, all of whom have been sentenced. Other adult defendants who accepted plea agreements were sentenced to 15 years in prison.

 ::snipping2::

In addition to his deferred sentence, Harrison must pay court costs at a rate of $75 per month and probation supervisory fees of $60 per month. He also must register as a sex offender for the remainder of his natural life.

An 11-year-old rape victim is not a temptress
A jury convicts a man of sexual assault -- but after his lawyer compares the case to "the spider and the fly"

It should not, in America in 2012, be this hard. Not just this hard to get a tough verdict on a crime that went on for months, one that was documented and shared like a trophy around the local middle school. It should not be this hard to get it through anybody’s head that an 11-year-old child who’s been repeatedly abused is not the problem here. Or that anybody who makes it his job to paint a little girl who’s been raped as a predatory vixen is an inexcusably shoddy excuse for a human being.

In Texas on Wednesday, a jury convicted 20-year-old Jared Len Cruise of aggravated sexual assault for his role in the gang rapes of an 11-year-old girl from the small town of Cleveland.

 ::snipping2::

Appallingly for the girl, she’s now involved in another sexual assault saga – police say that a 30-year-old convicted drug dealer has pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault stemming from an incident after the girl ran away from the facility Child Protective Services placed her in last year.

 ::snipping2::

When he [the defense attorney] asked her outright if she had been a “willing participant” in what happened to her, she replied, “Yes, sir.” And that, for anyone who knows anything about children or who knows anything about abuse, is one of the most devastating quotes from the whole story. Imagine what you’d have to have endured. Imagine what it’d be like to still be only a young teenager, and have to sit in a courtroom and account for your own actions in your assault. Imagine yourself saying, “Yes, sir.”

 ::snipping2::

[defense attorney to prosecuting attorney]
  ”I hope nothing like this ever happens to your two teenage sons.” Because apparently those four months of sustained sexual abuse against a child are something that happened to Jared Len Cruise and 19 other guys.

In his closing remarks, Taylor [defense attorney] capped off his truly spectacular assault on both logic and humanity by saying, “People don’t come with signs telling their age. How does a young man know? You can’t cut off their legs and count the rings like a tree.”

 ::snipping2::

Prosecutor Joe Warren, meanwhile, cited the evidence. “Look at how proud he [Cruse] is on that video as his buddies say ‘beat that ho,’” he told the jury. And the jury convicted.

 ::snipping2::

....even an attorney can do better than paint an 11-year-old — one who said in her original affidavit that she faced “threats she would be beaten if she did not comply” — is not some wily temptress. She’s not the “spider.” She’s a kid who’s been through a horror that very few of us can ever even fully imagine. And she doesn’t deserve the additional abuse of being shamed for being raped.

Mom of Cleveland gang rape victim upset about daughter's pregnancy
Posted May 21, 2013, Updated May 22, 2013

HOUSTON --- A girl who was 11-years-old girl when she was gang raped in Cleveland is now 7-months pregnant at age 14. 
Twenty men and boys were accused of gang raping the girl in 2010.
Most of the suspects have pleaded guilty, or have been convicted.
The girl spent some time in foster care after the gang rape, but moved to Houston last August where she’s living with her mother, brother and sisters.
The girl’s mother said she learned about her daughter’s pregnancy last December.
“Well, when she came with the pregnancy test, I was like, ‘Go away, get away from me, I was upset,” she said.
The girl said she is nervous and that the father of the child is her 15-year-old boyfriend. She said she will be keeping the baby.
Some people have wondered after all this girl has been through, the assaults, the national coverage and the trials, how this could happen?
“Yeah, I am sure there’s a lot of people wondering about all that,” the girl’s mother said. “I see it this way, I think it’s pretty common that sometimes girls, when that happens to them, they try to find the comfort in someone else, like they want to feel loved.”
The young girl’s boyfriend isn’t facing any charges because under Texas law, when two minors close in age have consensual sex it is not considered statutory rape.

i would think she would still be in  counseling, and premarital sex and boyfriends at the age
of 14,would be part of the counseling. ill tell ya she survived something  horrific, and
somehow the system has let her down again. i hope someone steps up and helps her to pick
up the pieces of her life, and helps head her in a better direction. she prob has PTSD,
counseling, more counseling, however much counseling it takes
