Kelsey Peterson Blames Her Rape Victim
After raping a 13 year old boy repeatedly and then fleeing with him to Mexico to live out an idyllic life together, Kelsey Peterson claimed at her pretrial hearing that it was all the boy’s idea. Kelsey now laughingly claims that she was the real victim, was forced to take the precious dumpling to Disneyland, and that the child is a vicious MS-13 Gangster with her name tattooed across his chest.
The judge didn’t believe the pudgy rapist’s claims and denied her bail.
From the AP here:
A former teacher accused of having sex with a 13-year-old student said it was the boy’s idea to flee to Mexico and that he told her he would kill her if she left him.
“He was pressuring me and that’s why we chose to leave,” Kelsey Peterson said at a pretrial hearing Monday where U.S. Magistrate Judge F.A. Gossett denied bail, saying Peterson was a flight risk.
Peterson said the boy left bruises on her arms and chest, told her what to wear and threatened her life. She said he was in a gang and had her name tattooed across his chest, and that the boy’s family knew about and encouraged their relationship.
The boy’s lawyers disputed Peterson’s allegations and accused her attorney of lying and using Mexican stereotypes to cloud facts of the case.
Peterson, who has been fired from her job as a middle school teacher and basketball coach, said she left with the boy after school officials started investigating their relationship. She hoped rumors about them would blow over.
Peterson described stops in Colorado, Utah and California — including two trips to the beach and a day at Disneyland — before the pair crossed the border into Mexico.
Her lawyer, James Martin Davis, has said the boy is not 13 years old, has a 2-year-old child of his own and was Peterson’s pursuer, not her victim. He said he would try to negotiate a plea deal with prosecutors before a Jan. 22 hearing.
So if the lawyer is going to have Kelsey admit that she is a filthy child rapist as part of a plea bargain, why go through all the finger pointing and blaming of the victim? But even her own lawyer knows she’s guilty.
