I want to thank the zealous commenter/friend who took me to task on this case by saying the "girl was a liar" and that I was "not a journalist" given my use of the word "allegedly". Well, now. It seems perhaps Officer Rodriguez did indeed do something illegal. And I'm NOT a journalist - his lovely wife is. I am a rape survivor/blogger.
More details later - it seems the rape charges have been dropped in lieu of the plea deal to a lesser charge. Brand new baby crying...off to feed him!
UPDATE: A very whitewashed charge of "official misconduct". Interesting! It is also of note that NBC 4'd headline reads "rape charges dropped", rather than implying the spirit of what went down. My rapist's rape charges were dropped as well after he pled guilty to a lesser charge.
UPDATE: Darlene Rodriguez not in Court with her husband as he pleads guilty - that speaks volumes and I was very proud of her. Until this came out. Michelle Charlesworth is right - her anger is misdirected and she needs to stop covering for this creep who is now hiding the rape behind the old "Lothario" defense. 'Tis far better to step out on the wife than admit to who you are.
