Young girl fingered by older pervert

An year-old is jailed without bail after his sexual assault of a 7-year-old girl was witnessed by her first-grade teacher during an online class. The class was on a break when the teacher saw the man, Catrell A. Walls, molesting the girl on Thursday afternoon, police told the Chicago Tribune. The details came out on Saturday as Walls appeared for a bond hearing, charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of a victim under 13 years old. The students were on a break, the Tribune reported, and the teacher had asked them to turn off their cameras and mute themselves. She told all the students to log off and the victim to turn off her camera, then called police, the principal and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, according to the Tribune.

In her blue dress, with her cheeks lightly flushed, her blue, blue eyes, and her gold curls pinned up as though for the first time - pinned up to be out of the way for her flight - Mrs. Raddick's daughter might have just dropped from this radiant heaven. Raddick's timid, faintly astonished, but deeply admiring glance looked as if she believed it, too; but the daughter didn't appear any too pleased - why should she? Indeed, she was bored - bored as though Heaven had been full of casinos with snuffy old saints for croupiers and crowns to play with. There's the car, and you'll have tea and we'll be back here on this step - right here - in an hour. You see, I want her to go in.

Q: I recently found my year-old daughter looking at pornography on the Internet. When I asked her why she was looking at this, she said, "The devil made me do it! A: The Help for Families panel understands you are upset, but wonders whether saying you are "appalled" may be a little harsh.

For months she lay on the ground, unable to walk or play. Some in the community blamed witchcraft but the real reason was more horrific: The child had been brutally raped and left paralyzed as a result of her injuries. The case has brought the issue of sexual violence against children to the forefront in Sierra Leone, where such crimes are often dealt with between families in private. In February, President Julius Maada Bio declared sexual violence a national emergency and he has vowed to help the 5-year-old get medical treatment abroad. But months later the girl's case has shown just how difficult combating sexual violence can be: Her father objected to the rape being tried in court, requiring police to issue a restraining order so she could continue receiving medical treatment.
