School spanking case: Prosecuter backpedals
The DA has backed off of the initial severity of the charges for the two boys going to trial for slapping bottoms.
Prosecutor: Jail unlikely for teens in “spanking” case
Yamhill County prosecutors say jail or sex offender status is unlikely for two McMinnville middle-schoolers who spanked girls in the school hallway.
Psst: Quick, act tough…
But District Attorney Brad Berry said his office considers the matter involving two 13-year-olds, Ryan Cornelison and Cory Mashburn, to be more than just horseplay.
Berry said his office has been swamped with calls and e-mails by people who say the initial ten counts of sex abuse and harassment was an overreaction.
Yea, duh!
The boys families said they were furious at what appeared to be backpedaling by Berry.
Tracie Mashburn asked why the family would be threatened with severe consequences if the state wasn’t going to follow though.
Ryan’s father, Joe Cornelison, said Berry is simply doing damage control.
Initially the boys had been charged with felony sex abuse and spent several days in detention. They also were temporarily suspended from school.
Family members said offers of help with legal expenses, which are causing strains on both families, are coming in from around the country and beyond.
Common sense is slowly creeping into town. Watch out.
