OCEAN CITY — A West Virginia man was charged with rape and assault this week after allegedly sexually assaulting a passed-out juvenile girl on the grass in front of a downtown residence.
On Tuesday, Ocean City Police responded to the area of Lark Lane for a passed-out individual, but the report was then changed to a possible rape involving a 15-year-old girl. Witnesses on the scene gave a description of the alleged suspect, later identified as Joseph Fernandez, 19, of Martinsburg, West Va.
Fernandez was located a short time later in the area of 26th Street and began making statements to OCPD detectives, including that he was sorry and that the girl told him she was over 21. At that point, Fernandez also told police he had no idea the victim was under 18 and that he did have sex with her because she said she was 18.

WTF is wrong with people? Why is your 15 year old daughter out in OC, by herself and drunk???
ReplyDeleteLeaving OC last weekend, we witnessed a very young girl in the tightest, shortest dress I have ever seen. Her dress barely covered her lower region - and by barely, her butt was hanging out of the bottom. Why would anyone let their daughter dress this way? And why would anyone set her lose on the streets of OC?
I never want to blame the victim, but we have got to begin teaching our young girls the dangers in today' society.
News Flash!!!!!
Delete15 year olds sneak out of the house after the parents fall asleep. I used to do it, and I'm as old as Methuselah. It's nothing new.
2:40 The parents don't care. They go to OC to let loose themselves, forgetting about their parental obligations, while they crack bottles of wine, and pills. Easier for them to forget the world, than to manage their offspring.
ReplyDeleteI work OC and see this often...the little girls come out in their "almost nude" outfits and teases the boys and men in the area with stupid giggles and laughter
ReplyDeleteRemember when miniskirts were scandalous?
ReplyDeleteDuring the 20th century risque women's fashions moved quietly up the leg, first exposing ankle, then lower calf, then full calf, then edge of knee, then full knee, then....
The 21st century has left us with not much to imagine, which was a great part of the mystique and attractiveness of the female in clothing. So much for mystique these days. Now we're just glancing (some staring) at bumps and creases. The magic is gone.
That is because they are stupid and immature 4:11 the "men" should know better!
ReplyDeleteAlways ask for I.D. A recent STD report wouldn't be a bad idea, either.
ReplyDeleteIn Maryland, this is consensual sex if she invited it. It's not statutory rape until 4+ years age difference. I know, that's bizarre, but that's the law.
ReplyDeleteI think statutory rape is outdated, IF the sex act was consensual. Why should someone be punished for being lied to and enticed?
ReplyDeleteThe boy is from West Virginia. 15 year olds are usually moms there...
ReplyDeleteOh my god! All these comments so far blaming the girl?!? What is wrong with you people? It doesn't matter if she was naked. Rape is rape and the perpetrator should be locked up for a long time.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter what she was wearing or if she lied and told him she was 18 - she was unconscious - that is rape.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, he's already out on bail. HA. These courts....

She was drunk and I am sure she asked for it. By the way she must be a dirt bag to be interested in that Mexican.
5:11am. She didn't ask for anything. She was unconscious. Seems like plenty of dirtbags on this blog. Disgusting.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe everyone is missing the point. She drank and was not in control of herself, but did we forget she was raped?!?!? Regardless 15 or 500 years old, sober or intoxicated, that was an extremely wrong move that will grab him one day. I'm the victims brother and this just sickens me.

How did you know she wasn't in control of herself? Were you there? NO YOU WEREN'T! Get over yourself and quit believing what you read in news stories. I bet you voted for Obama.

If you are the victims brother then what is your name? 500 years old? That is a dumb comment! How do you know she drank and wasn't in control? Were you there?
Hey Bozo if you were a good brother you wouldn't have let a 15 year old drink. If that is the case then you are a dirt bag. You should not have let her drink anything. You reap what you sow.
15 will get you 20.
ReplyDeleteThat "man" is my dumb ass cousin. Total embaressment to the family now! I have lost my respect for him.
