It was one of the most bizarre sex crimes in recent Tulsa history. Now it’s over, and both adults involved are headed to prison.

The 12-year-old girl showed up a Hillcrest Hospital in midtown Tulsa in July 2021 in labor.

The father-to-be apparently expected to walk out with the girl and their new bundle of joy.

“They walked in just like any other couple would, excited to deliver their newborn child,” Tulsa Police Officer Danny Bean told FOX23 News in 2021.

When the child, well below the age of consent, showed up to give birth, doctors immediately called Tulsa Police to report what was happening.

    Per the article, he was in a “genuine” (I mean, obviously not but still) relationship with the child, after breaking up with the mom.

    I don’t see this scenario repeating. Both the adults need serious therapy and obviously the kid does now too.

      I just want you imagine the type of person who would get into a genuine relationship with a 12 year old. You don’t see it happening again?

      I think this child predator would try to get in another “genuine relationship” with another child, frankly.

        I find that extremely unlikely given the circumstances of the first “relationship”

        This story is fucking bonkers.

          I think that’s actually the crux of our disagreement and I don’t think we’ll come together on it.

          I think the fact that he ever engaged in any sort of romantic relationship with a 12 year old makes him more likely to do it again, he’s the kind of person who would get into a relationship with a 12 year old as a 24 year old.

          I believe you are taking the face value indication from the word “genuine relationship” and not really interrogating the “with a 12 year old” part. I don’t think anything I say is gonna change that, and I don’t think your opinion is exactly gonna win over hearts and minds on my end, so I guess I’ll end it there!

            Oh don’t get me wrong, this person needs severe therapy. I just think therapy and productivity for a child he should never be allowed to see (2 children , honestly) is a better outcome for the victim.
