Racist High School Student Pleads GUILTY . . . To VIOLENTLY ‘RAPING’ Black Boy . . . And Receives NO JAIL TIME!!! (These Racists . . . Are SICK)
An Idaho prosecutor’s declaration that an alleged rape of a black, mentally disabled football player with a coat hanger by his white team-mate was not a sex crime and was not racially motivated has sparked mounting criticism among campaigners against sexual assault.
John RK Howard was initially charged with felony forcible sexual penetration by use of a foreign object, but on Friday, the 19-year-old reached a plea bargain that allowed him to plead guilty to a felony count of injury to a child. The deal will allow Howard to avoid prison time unless he violates his probation, the Twin Falls Times-News reported.
The October 2015 assault drew national headlines after the victim told the courtthat he had been attacked by three football team-mates and sodomized with a coat hanger in the locker room.
The victim’s family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the high school and school officials, claiming that the school had failed to protect the student from a campaign of racial harassment by other students that culminated in the sexual assault.
The victim was called racial epithets such as “watermelon”, “chicken-eater”, and “nigger”, and Howard taunted the victim with a “Ku Klux Klan” song, the lawsuit alleged.
But during Friday’s hearing, the prosecutor, deputy attorney general Casey Hemmer, played down both the racial and sexual aspects of the crime, according to the Twin Falls Times-News.
Hemmer told the judge that the crime was not a sex crime and that Howard should not be treated as a sex offender, the paper reported. He also stated that his office did not believe that the crime was racially motivated.
R Keith Roark, one of the attorneys representing the victim in the civil case, said: “The plea agreement is an abomination, and the in-court comments of the prosecutor, if accurately reported, reflect a perverse compassion for the perpetrator of a sickening, violent act rather than a concern for the young man whose life has been turned upside down by group violence – which we believe was indeed, at least in part, racially motivated.
“How this can be anything other than a sexual assault is beyond my comprehension, and I have been prosecuting and defending sex crimes for 40 years,” Roark added.

“Deputy Attorney General Hemmer’s actions and statements dehumanizes the young man who was heinously penetrated and fuels and sanctions our culture of sexism, racism, able-ism, domination, aggression, and violence, and in turn, the Office of the Idaho Attorney General is complicit in state-sanctioned sexism, racism, able-ism and violence,” the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence wrote on Facebook.
Live-streamed torture of white teenager by black teens sparks racial backlash online.
According to Chicago police, the four 18-year-olds in question, two men and two women, stole a van and took the victim, a classmate of one of the assailants, to an unspecified location in Chicago. They then proceeded to torture him, with one recording the brutal beating on Facebook Live for about 30 minutes. Officials says the young man was missing for at least 24 hours and perhaps longer, and was found wandering the streets of Chicago before being taken to an area hospital. The incident is now being investigated as a kidnapping and potential hate crime, and all four teens are being questioned.
"It's sickening," said Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson during a police conference last night. "I've been a cop for 28 years and seen things that you shouldn't see in a lifetime, but it still amazes me that you see things that you shouldn't."
The video has since been taken down by Facebook. "We do not allow people to celebrate or glorify crimes on Facebook and have removed the original video for this reason,” a Facebook spokesperson wrote in a statement. “In many instances, though, when people share this type of content, they are doing so to condemn violence or raise awareness about it. In that case, the video would be allowed."
However, it has proven to be as incendiary as it is disturbing since clips have appeared on numerous news outlets. Some viewers, including The Blaze’s Glenn Beck and white nationalist leader Richard Spencer, watched the broadcast and linked the crime to Black Lives Matter while also criticizing Johnson for hesitating to call the torture a hate crime, using the now-viral #BLMKidnapping tag.
However, the attackers never made any mention of Black Lives Matter, a peaceful protest organization, during the Live video. A backlash has already begun, with Twitter users and activists calling the hashtag manufactured to prey on the white people’s fear that black people and the larger BLM movement are dangerous.
