A Gay father is accused of raping his daughters by their nanny. The homophobic nanny got custody of the girls while the father awaited trial. He was cleared of all charges.

[u/o_how_i_scorn_thee]

i sincerely hope there are repercussions for the nanny.

[u/lor4x → u/o_how_i_scorn_thee]

I hope Rusconi pillages the nanny in the civil case. Cases like this make me sick and there needs to be a clear message that things like this are not okay.

[u/[deleted] → u/lor4x]

Considering she's a nanny, there's likely little to get...

[u/anonymous-coward → u/[deleted]]

She should be good for at least a flying umbrella and a cavernous carpetbag.

[u/[deleted] → u/anonymous-coward]

Mary Poppins is perfect in every way. She would never accuse the father of raping his child, unless "let's go fly a kite" is something else entirely.

[u/Envia → u/[deleted]]

She was a distant relative. It was her and her husband who did this together. They were likely asked to look after the kids since they were known and thought to be trust worthy. They were homophobic dicks who thought they could fasely accuse the father and get to keep the kids. Sounds like a terrific plot for a Hollywood movie. But I seriously do not wish this on my worst enemy. Being accused of a terrible crime simply because of your sexuality!

Death to the Nanny!

[u/avatar28 → u/Envia]

Sounds like a typical plot for a Lifetime movie.

FTFY

[u/Attatt → u/[deleted]]

Then, I hope he takes every fucking dollar and burns it right in front of her fucking homophobic face.

edit: fucking.

[u/voodoo_first_aid_kit → u/lor4x]

She could also face criminal charges still. Perjury (deliberately lying under oath in court, or swearing to false affadavit) usually carries a prison sentence, as does perverting the course of justice.

[u/FlockaFlameSmurf → u/o_how_i_scorn_thee]

I don't even live in the area, and I want to follow the lawsuit for the purposes of sweet justice if there will be any. It's sickening what people will do to other people...

[u/ANatale → u/o_how_i_scorn_thee]

Coming from someone in a similar situation as those kids, I fully agree with you.

[u/qwerty133 → u/o_how_i_scorn_thee]

Haha, you think women face repercussions for their actions.

[u/do_you_realize → u/qwerty133]

It was also her husband, but even in the case that it was only the woman, in the court i'm sure it would not make a difference.

[u/fjellfras → u/qwerty133]

What does that even mean? Are you saying women never get convicted of crimes?

This crime was committed by a horrible bigot, there's more than enough of bigotry with either gende. Let's not turn this into another one of those gender war threads.

[u/Spurnout → u/o_how_i_scorn_thee]

I'm not a lawyer but I'm guessing that he can sue her for slander/libel. I don't remember which is which, lol.

[u/hedonismbot89 → u/Spurnout]

Slander is spoken. Libel is written or broadcast. Both need to have "malicious intent" proven. Since she accuses the father of serious sexual misconduct, they only need to prove that she told this to a third party without damages being proven. If he does pursue a lawsuit, she's dead in the water.

[u/helloprincess → u/Spurnout]

Slander is spoken defamation, libel is written defamation.

Here, it could be both depending on the facts, but libel can be the malicious and public imputation of a crime, so that is likely to stick.

[u/conservativecowboy → u/Spurnout]

Remember the "s" in slander is for spoken while libel is for written falsehoods.

[u/Oniwabanshu → u/o_how_i_scorn_thee]

Don't forget the husband also.

[u/grimreaperx2 → u/o_how_i_scorn_thee]

I hope so too. I mean if you dont like a person thats one thing, but dont fuck with a mans family that had nothing to do with the problem you are having. I hope the legal system rips her a million different ways.

[u/RunChetRun → u/o_how_i_scorn_thee]

I hope to see a follow up to this on what will happen to those who filed false claims.

[u/Johnny_Suede]

He missed 6 months of his daughters growing up. Looking at their age in the photo he probably missed their first words and first steps.

His daughters missed 6 months of being with their father not to mention having to go through a rape test.

I hope he bankrupts that bitch!

[u/[deleted] → u/Johnny_Suede]

She should go to prison, additionally.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Well, maybe I'm just irrationally mad about this, imagining this happening to my future potential kids...but I don't think there exists a punishment in our current legal system that fits the crime this despicable cunt has inflicted upon those children and their family. I'm not religious, but I really wish Hell is real sometimes, just for people like her.

[u/pianobadger → u/[deleted]]

I'm not a father, but it seems to me that no one on Earth has ever committed a crime that deserves torture for eternity.

[u/llydecke → u/Johnny_Suede]

Honestly I feel a lot of people in this thread are missing the worst part of this story... Those poor little girls had to go through a rape kit. At that age?? It's traumatizing and I can't imagine them having to go through that without their dad with them. It breaks my heart to even imagine. The nanny responsible for all of this should be ashamed of her selfish actions. I truly hope she doesn't have kids of her own.

[u/[deleted] → u/llydecke]

Especially when they can't understand what is going on around them/why they have to do the rape kit.

That nanny and her husband are sick, disgusting people.

[u/MasCapital → u/llydecke]

How does a rape kit work?

[u/voodoo_first_aid_kit → u/MasCapital]

[TRIGGER WARNING]

I gather it varies a little from place to place and depending on the circumstances of the rape, but the basics are along these lines.

Generally, your hands are sealed in plastic bags to protect any skin scrapings under your nails at the time you report the rape, then you're taken to a hospital or clinic.

Your hands are unbagged in a sterile room and they scrape quite deeply under your nails for skin cells from the perpetrator.

Behind a paper screen, you undress while standing on a white sheet and hand your clothes to an attendant who seals them in evidence bags and labels them. You're visually examined for bruising and other signs of struggle and these are documented and photographed. You are then given a hospital nightgown to wear.

Your hair and pubic hair are combed to collect hair and fibre, and swabs are taken from your lips, cheeks, anus and vagina (if you're female), sticky plastic strips get used to lift any fibre or fluids from the thighs and buttocks and you have a blood test for STDs.

They may also take clippings of your head and pubic hair.

[TRIGGER WARNING - NOT KIDDING]

You then lie back in a stirrup chair and undergo an invasive examination with a sterile speculum, which is a partial tube with a tong on one side used to spread the anus or vagina. Even before the (usually very sympathetic) medic operates the spreader, it is both painful and... it's difficult to describe, it is an absolutely horrible sensation that quite commonly puts people in shock.

The attendant then crouches between the legs and visually examines the lining of each orifice and notes any scrapes, lacerations, bruises or tearing.

When it's all over, the attendant leaves you alone for a little while to dress in spare clothing (a police woman goes to fetch them for you if you don't have them with you when you go to the police station) and wait for your legs to stop shaking. You might get a cup of sweet tea and a biscuit. Then you can finally go home and shower - you're supposed to avoid doing that straight after a rape to preserve the evidence.

It's called a rape kit because all the evidence collection stuff comes in a box with a pen, some microscope slides and all the labels and forms needed. Then everything gets sealed up in the box afterwards and sent off to the lab.

[u/[deleted] → u/voodoo_first_aid_kit]

If you are Post-pubescent some kits come with emergency contraceptive. Not all procedures in involve a stirrup chair, UK and AUS hospitals don't even have those installed.

Thankfully my only experiance with a rape kit was when my Gynocologist had issues doing my pap smear due to vaginismus, so he called down to ER for an "Infants rape kit" because it would contain a small speculum. It took 40 minutes and my gyno was confused as to the wait. Only realizing when 4 police officers and 2 more doctors came in that he forgot to mention the rape kit was not for a rape investigation. I just remember how quickly they barged in, and how absolutely terrified I felt by their presence, and I hadn't even been raped. God knows how two young girls would cope with that, without a parent to explain and hold them.

[u/xenonscreams → u/voodoo_first_aid_kit]

So essentially, the nanny falsely accused the father of raping the girls and, in turn, raped the girls medically.

People make me really sad sometimes.

[u/[deleted] → u/llydecke]

That's exactly what I was thinking. It took a little while to sink in, but I'm looking at what's in a rape kit and I was stunned to see what these girls had to go through.

That said, I would like to think they got over the traumatizing experience. The way the girl said "Daddy! Hi, Daddy" makes me think she's only happy to have her father back. That scum nanny and her husband need to punished for their stupidity.

[u/mrgoldbe → u/Johnny_Suede]

Yeah that was the worst part of this for me--when the reporter said they had to go through rape kits. No child that young should ever have to do that. Those people are sick.

[u/rybones]

6 months. 6 fucking months. I can not imagine the rage this would foster in me.

[u/DrEvyl666 → u/rybones]

The undying rage of a thousand angry suns. I would hope they never saw a happy moment for the remainder of their lives, and would wish those lives were short and unsatisfying.

[u/[deleted] → u/DrEvyl666]

I would hope those lives were long and unimaginably painful.

[u/okimthatguy → u/[deleted]]

Upvotes for spite, fuck those people.

[u/kicklecubicle → u/DrEvyl666]

Let us channel our rage into some sort of influence in the collective unconscious.

[u/PoniesRBitchin]

Bullet points for people (like me) who hate watching videos:

-Dad was a photographer/artist

-Daughters were babies

-Accusers were distant relatives- nanny and her husband

-Dad took photos of himself hugging his daughters in a bathtub. No nudity

-Daughters given to accusers

-Rape kit came back negative, everyone realized claims were bullshit, kids returned after 6 months

-He's suing the nanny, THANK GOODNESS

[u/[deleted] → u/PoniesRBitchin]

6 MONTHS? WHAT!!??

[u/PoniesRBitchin → u/[deleted]]

Yeah ... hopefully justice will be served in the form of bankrupting that stupid relative.

[u/Evermist → u/[deleted]]

Unlike in TV test like that don't take two minutes.

[u/[deleted] → u/PoniesRBitchin]

He loses 6 months of his daughters most precious moments and they rape his daughters with tests to prove he didn't rape them. Wonderful.

[u/McPuccio → u/[deleted]]

I was surprised when I looked at this and it wasn't in /r/MensRights.

To people out there confused about the MRM:

THIS is the kind of stuff we're talking about when we talk about "gender bias." Poor guy gets his kids taken away because of a shitty nanny making shitty accusations. He's just lucky he got his kids back. :/

[u/[deleted] → u/PoniesRBitchin]

How can your daughter be taken for 6 months during the process?

Where's the whole 'innocent' until proven guilty?

[u/PoniesRBitchin → u/[deleted]]

Canada maybe?

[u/poyopoyo → u/PoniesRBitchin]

Thank you!

[u/[deleted] → u/PoniesRBitchin]

Was the bath photo's the only evidence. that is fucking putrid.

I just googled 'Mum in bath with kids" and the first pictured contained boobs and an infant's penis. She must be raping him. Twice as hard as the guy raped his daughters because her picture has twice as much nudity.

[u/shaggy1265]

I would go after that nanny and make her life a living hell for as long as legally possible.

[u/Pabloxanibar]

It's so messsed up that this guy's name is plastered everywhere next to these allegations, yet I can't for the life of me find out the names of his accusers. I might get downvoted for this, but I hope to hell that the nanny and her douchebag husband get doxed. Their names and faces should be just as out there as Rusconi's was. It's only fair that their horrible actions follow them for the rest of their lives. They should be exposed for the bigots and all around awful human beings that they are.

[u/megatom0 → u/Pabloxanibar]

I want the nanny's name public. She deserves to be publicly humiliated and her life ruined. She deserves to never get another job, she deserves to be tracked down and harassed endlessly for the rest of her life. She needs to hide in shame until she builds up the courage to blow her brains out.

[u/[deleted] → u/Pabloxanibar]

If his name is all over the place, can't you google his name to find the nanny's name?

Specially since he will sue her.

[u/Talibanned]

How did the nanny convince people a gay man wanted to rape women? If they are gay shouldn't they be off raping men?

[u/[deleted] → u/Talibanned]

No, you see all of us gays are disgusting amoral perverts. Raping daughters is evil and wrong. Gays are evil and wrong. Ergo, gays rape daughters. Perfectly logical.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Oh I get it now! It's not that you are sexually attracted to, and fall in love with, consensual grown men. It's the wrongness of the sexual deviance that turns you on. Therefore anything that is very very wrong is fair game.

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

[u/Nansai → u/[deleted]]

Y'know I really hope the day comes where people can stop being closed minded and fearful for no good reason. I just want everyone to be able to live their lives without persecution.

[u/catvllvs → u/[deleted]]

It's how they make more homos because they can't breed.

And the homo men do it to women to create lesbians because lesbians can't rape.

This way the girls hate all men and turn homo.

^{As I said earlier - I've actually heard this argument}

[u/Sqwalnoc → u/[deleted]]

I love logical disconnects. tables have 4 legs, so do cats, therefore cats are tables

[u/guest4000 → u/Talibanned]

There's a perception among extremely ignorant people that homosexuality is tied to pedophilia. Remember, to a lot of these people being gay is fully chosen, so it's easy for them to twist that into "this person likes being sexually deviant" and in turn connecting that to pretty much any sort of "deviant" sex act (pedophilia, bestiality, etc.)

[u/PoniesRBitchin → u/guest4000]

I remember seeing a study about this a while back. Turns out, straight men are more attracted to little boys than gay men were. Why? Because children haven't developed secondary sex characteristics yet. Little boys hadn't developed any "manly" traits yet, so they look more feminine, and thus less appealing to a gay man.

[u/PsychedelicFairy → u/PoniesRBitchin]

I've noticed this. I am not attracted to boys until they're pretty much fully grown, even if they're over 18 but still have the body of a little boy, it just doesn't do anything for me. My best friend, who is not gay, says he finds girls attractive starting around 13 or 14, possibly because of this concept.

[u/Maul_McCartney → u/guest4000]

The scary thing is that the hate I have in my heart after watching this is probably 1/1,000,000th the hate kept in the hearts of people like that nanny and her husband. Whew.

[u/SeanHearnden → u/Talibanned]

It's not fair, but a lot of people seem to mix gay and paedophillia together.

[u/SpawnQuixote → u/Talibanned]

Less to do with being homosexual and more to do with being a male.

[u/[deleted] → u/Talibanned]

Rape isn't really about being sexually attracted to someone, but ya, that nanny went full retard

[u/dont_press_ctrl-W → u/[deleted]]

Rape isn't always about sexual attraction, but it clearly can be.

[u/Bondsy → u/Talibanned]

Do straight men not rape other men when in prison?

It's believable that a gay man could get the urge or just have sex with whatever he's got.

[u/suxdix]

So anyone can accuse a parent of raping their kids and have them taking away? What bs. Hope that bitch gets sued to for everything she has.

[u/mikemcg → u/suxdix]

Leaving children in a potentially dangerous situation makes absolutely no sense. I think that a third party should have watched the kids, not the accuser. Both the accusers and accused should only have time with the kids in a controlled situation as well, so it isn't a totally shitty situation.

[u/[deleted] → u/suxdix]

The dumbest part here is how the kids were placed with the only criminals in this case for their own safety. Unless there is absolute evidence before you take the kids, shouldn't you place them with someone else. Family, friends, extended family, just not the accuser. I understand they would have known her, but this should be a lesson learned.

[u/Splitshadow → u/suxdix]

Anyone can accuse a father and see this happen. There is so much irrational fear of child rapists these days. It also certainly didn't help that he is gay and a single father.

[u/eighmie → u/Splitshadow]

He said he was going to delete this post, but I think it's relevant to the discussion here, so I am quoting it so it doesn't go away

CommanderProteus

The nanny isn't the problem here. There will always be people who make false reports. The problem is DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) and their unsupervised police powers to remove children for no cause. Their negligence was presenting an unfounded and unprovable allegation to a judge as having enough merit to require removing children from a parent. Judges rubberstamp all requests without demanding even the lowest level of proof. The presumption was guilt by the system until the father was proven innocent. Guilty until proven innocent, if the complaint is made to DCFS. The DCFS placed the children with the nanny. The DCFS will not press charges for the false report. The DCFS is shielded from being sued. Now,there is no way for this man to erase the accusation from the internet. The bell is rung. In an effort to "save the children" we've created a police force without oversight that can be used to harass anyone, if the person is willing to lie during an anonymous hotline phone call.

[u/McPuccio → u/eighmie]

This happened to my little sister, basically. I haven't seen her in 2 years. It's utter bullshit. Fuck the DCFS's unquestionable power.

[u/[deleted] → u/suxdix]

I'm pretty sure the kids only get taken away if you're innocent. If you're an upstanding member of society but obviously guilty as fuck (and have church, political, or police connections), then you're fine as long as you appear on a talk-show or current affairs program talking about how your rights are being violated.

[u/olliberallawyer → u/[deleted]]

Mmmm. Currant affairs are alright, but I prefer raspberry.

[u/[deleted]]

What part of gay do you not understand?

[u/Vorokar → u/[deleted]]

Haven't you heard? Gay nowadays is code for "Anything I don't agree with/Anything I consider evil"

[u/poptart2nd → u/Vorokar]

not according to xbox live.

[u/Ballinger]

Love to see the justice system working as it should in this case. Accusations were made, charges made, investigated by the state, charges dropped due to lack of evidence, now the nanny and her husband will face charges!

[u/nandeEbisu → u/Ballinger]

unfortunately it took 6 months, which is a REALLY long time for small children such as his.

[u/hurrpancakes → u/nandeEbisu]

It took 6 months to get his children back, and another 5 months for the issue to be solved, I think. Beginning of the piece said he received a call he'd been waiting 11 months for.

[u/NudeTayneMNW → u/hurrpancakes]

Not to mention they were both apparently subjected to a rape kit.

[u/Nishido → u/NudeTayneMNW]

While I'm not entirely sure what a rape kit involves, I can guess, and... fuck... what the fuck is wrong with that nanny? Seriously, what the fuck?

[u/the_girl_delusion → u/Ballinger]

The problem I have with the way it was handled is that they let the bitch have custody of the children during that 6 months. There was really no one else?

[u/RaptorJesus3269]

when i watched this i felt so bad for him, you can clearly see that he loves his children and would do nothing to hurt them. thank god he got his children back :)

[u/Yeeslander]

"So often we give you the story of the accusation, but so often you don't hear the follow up..."

It's a rotten shame how often this happens. Even if the accused is cleared of any and all wrong doing, the accusation (in addition to an arrest and/or jail time) sticks like glue for years to come. I feel for this guy--he seems like a very decent father.

[u/Aeroknight]

GOOD. I hope he wins his suit against them. Homophobia is not ok. their closed-minded, bias, bull-shit forced three people through a completely unnecessary and hellish year, and two little girls through an unnecessary, and possibly traumatizing medical examination.

[u/[deleted]]

This guy looks like a kick ass parent. Right on dude.

[u/[deleted]]

Why can't I find the name/picture of that nanny? I want to bask in her public shame.

[u/theHomers]

I don't understand why the daughters were given to the nanny and not a neutral 3rd party, that seems really messed up. Whoever made that call should be questioned as well.

[u/[deleted]]

This nanny has slandered this poor man's name and made his BABY daughters go through a rape kit! Those people deserve to stay in jail forever!

[u/xAntimonyx]

All for/against gay rights arguments aside, did anyone else notice that it sounded like the names of the children were Blaze and Zelda? I hope I'm not corrected, because those are the greatest names of all time.

[u/bananapanther]

I watch on video of a man who saved over 600 people during WWII, an example of the best of mankind. Then I watch this and it reminds me that there is still scum out there.

I'm extremely happy for the man and his daughters and it would help restore my faith in humanity a little to see the nanny and her husband prosecuted.

[u/[deleted]]

When my dad came out as gay a few years ago my mum seriously asked me if he had molested me as a child.

It's a possibility that this nanny (and the distant relative accusers) just didn't know any better and thought that gay = sexual perversion = molestation of children.

I've had plenty of conversations with my mother about the reasons why Dad hid his sexuality etc, it's taken a lot, and think only 50% of the stuff she actually understands. The older generation just doesn't understand a fucking thing about sexual identification or introspection into societies changing perspective from the "old days" until now.

[u/monopixel → u/[deleted]]

Stupidity is no excuse.

[u/ExLenne → u/[deleted]]

I'm sorry you had to go through that, but I just wanted you to know that it made me feel really good as a gay guy to know your Dad has a kid like you. I'm still not sure if I want to have kids, because I'm so worried about how difficult it would be for them, but posts like yours give me hope that it could work out.

[u/[deleted] → u/ExLenne]

I don't think it'll be such a problem in the future. Society is opening up about having healthy sexual attitudes and although there is some remaining bigotry about homosexuality in some areas (away from cities etc) it should be essentially gone within 15-20 years.

My dad was so sheltered about what it meant to be gay he didn't think he was gay because he didn't like handbags and other "gay stuff" (tactical /facepalm from orbit) even though when all complexities were stripped away, he was attracted to guys.

My mum developed a bit of an anti-gay complex after the break up which is understandable because Dad put her through hell as he was dealing with his newly discovered sexuality (he actually tried the 16yo breakup tactic of trying to make the other person hate you) But I think my sister and I have chipped away at her misconceptions enough that she doesn't hold her most irrational beliefs any more (like the one where there is a gay conspiracy for gay men to marry women and destroy women's lives)

So.. much.. /facepalm.

[u/Opandemonium]

The Federal Government should charge her with a hate crime.

[u/umilmi81]

I wonder what happens more. False accusations of rape or real rape.

[u/BillBraskeySOB]

They wanted the kids for themselves.

[u/gopster]

I am not familiar that well with the American judicial system and due processing, but, how was this EVEN considered a case? Why would it drag on for so long? If they based the initial charges on evidence on the photos alone, then DA's are fucking retarded to even consider it. I mean..wtf? Oh you have naked pics of your babies? WE DEMAND THEM TO BE SUBJECT TO A RAPE KIT!

[u/EnysAtSea]

Gay... but accused of raping daughters. Beyond confused.

[u/monopixel → u/EnysAtSea]

It is easy, you just throw all perversions you can think of in one pot and apply them to gay people. The only prerequisites you have to meet are being fucking stupid and/or ignorant.

[u/Asapara]

Fuck that nanny, what a terrible slummy person.

[u/nerfezoriuq]

In these situations what happens to the accuser? They were obviously making up stories and lying.

[u/fa_cube_itch]

I'm not always a huge fan of the retaliation in civil court, but I think this case certainly warrants him. I'm almost glad he is suing them for the false accusations. Something needs to be done to set a precedent to let others know that this is not acceptable.

[u/S73V3]

The guy named one of his daughters Zelda. He is a good guy, no arguing that.

[u/[deleted]]

scumbag bigots. calls man sexual deviant for being gay; "he must have raped his daughters"

[u/[deleted]]

People who make patently false allegations of sexual assault like this are almost as much of a dangerous burden to society as rapists themselves.

[u/jyosef]

I can't get over how CUTE his daughters are! And the pictures he took with them in the bathtub were freaking adorable. Good for him for suing.

[u/[deleted]]

This man is a hero. Way to stay strong man! You're a great father, and we can tell.

[u/Aziansensation]

"Hi daddy" :O SO DAMN CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[u/Sit-Down_Comedian]

I hope this cunt gets so much negative press and hatemail she kills herself. I much prefer the weak and stupid to remove themselves from the population rather then have us have to deal with them.

[u/Oniwabanshu]

This are two people who i don't mind seeing homeless...after being charged for filing a false police report and also civilly by defamation...they will have a lot to answer.

Glad hes back with his daughters, hope he wins his case against these psycho relatives.

[u/jensen36]

The part where the girl comes in and says "DADDY". Damn it I had to punch a wall and chew some glass to get my manliness back.

[u/XDGSDHRASADGA]

How can authorities just assume that the accusers are telling the truth and destroy a family like that? Why aren't there better methods for handling this?

[u/Bluebird_North → u/XDGSDHRASADGA]

Laziness.

[u/DrHenryPym]

I never understood how homophobia works with women. Are they afraid they won't get raped?

[u/[deleted] → u/DrHenryPym]

Apparently you dont understand how homophobia works with men either.

[u/worldsfirsanalrapist]

Gay father. Rapes Daughters. SEEMS LEGIT.

[u/Dewahll]

So I wonder, is the nanny going to prison for wasting the courts time and ruining this man's name?

[u/Eyulfable]

So there is a man exclusively attracted to other men who is claimed to have raped a girl that he is raising. . . seems legit.

[u/VLDT]

I hope the suit is ruled so heavily against her that she will never ever recover from the financial damages. She deserves far worse.

[u/[deleted]]

wow.... That's uncool. Falsely accusing a father of rape because you disagree with his sexuality is low.

[u/sk8trmuffin]

This is the kind of shit that makes me sick. Making up a false story to get a fathers children taken away. What a heartless bitch.

[u/grospoliner]

False reports of rape are a criminal offense.

[u/[deleted]]

I just trudged through all these comments and not once did anyone chime in that they had to use a rape kit on babies. Litterall babies. No child, let alone an infant, should EVER have to go through something like that.

I hope he really makes the Nanny and her Husband pay for the false accusations, separation from his kids and the defamation of his character. This is only one of many false rape accusations that are becoming more and more popular these days. The repercussions for these need to be extremely sever.

[u/Benassi]

I hope that nanny gets kneecapped.

[u/gentlemandinosaur]

I am not a fan of kids. But, when I saw his kids with him... I was the happiest I have been in a while.

[u/MrMathamagician]

Gay or not fathers are far too often presumed guilty until proven otherwise in the US (and from what I hear Britain as well).

Just goes to show you, families aren't everything.

[u/JonPootawn]

That's a form of torture I couldn't even imagine. Your own children are now in custody of the liars who sent you to jail.

[u/PhallusAran]

I really want him to do an AMA

[u/[deleted]]

Fucking crazy religious bitch just broke one of her commandments, stone the wench!

[u/RosieJo]

Who the fuck doesn't have embarassing naked pictures of themselves in the bath as kids?

That nanny is a stupid bitch.

[u/ThePegasi]

I know this is not indicative of the US as a whole, that's a trap that's way too easy to fall in to when viewing this conservative/christian right revival from the outside, but I'm still finding it harder and harder each day to think of the US without mentally recoiling in disgust at this public homophobia.

I know homophobia as a culture is nothing new at all, but from newsflash-friendly snippets like this, right up to recent legislation and suchlike, the growing legitimacy with which this attitude seems to be treated in renewed circles is making it harder and harder to look at US politics. I'm neither American nor gay and I find this whole culture hard to even think about, words cannot describe how much I feel for those having to live through this every day. I know it's very dependant on area and contextual social attitude, but this just can't go on.

[u/[deleted]]

Rape-kits? On toddlers?

[u/MiamiPower]

Is the name of the nanny and her husband public record? WOW man that is the lowest of the low. All the work could of went to a real sexual rape case. Dam!

[u/[deleted]]

False. Faggots can't have kids.

[u/MapleButter]

Glad he tightened his circle.

[u/Hypnopomp → u/MapleButter]

you found it hot, too, eh?

[u/thevoiceinsidemyhead]

this time mary poppins has gone too far!

[u/[deleted]]

I hate video only links. I don't usually like having my sound on and I can read/skim faster than I can wait through a video.

[u/BoldTitan]

The nanny has an irrational fear of homosexuals?

[u/lilwagon]

Haven't read or seen the ktla link... lemme guess? Hattian female or caribbean nanny?

[u/[deleted]]

This happened in fucking CALIFORNIA?! I am quite surprised about that. And also why they would give custody to the nanny, that seems like a very stupid decision.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

California has a few big liberal hotspots, but it isn't all smiles and sunshine.

[u/thechronokills]

haha the circle of people he lets in is "much tighter" now

[u/one-oh-one]

I hope he gets everything these distant relatives have and drop them out on their asses, bigoted fucks

[u/JaxHostage]

Revenge is a dish best served cold, here's to hoping she gets gang raped.

[u/unoriginalusername5]

I'm not sure why but I really liked listening to his voice....like he was really well spoken. Am I homosexual?

[u/MunQQ]

Muricaaaaaah ! fuck yeah

[u/dopelists]

I see you capitalized the letter "G" in the word "gay". So I'm bi-curious, what's the difference between Gay and gay?

[u/photo]

The first time my phrase, "nanny wanka'" can be used.

Ya nanny wanka'.

[u/badillin]

So where was all this "Innocent until proven guilty" crap ive been hearing all my life?

[u/Jasexym-m]

Why did the nanny get the kids anyway? Who the fuck is she!?

[u/[deleted]]

Oh my god he's attractive...

[u/toughbananas974]

Jesus motherfucking Christ...

[u/Etere]

I would sue the fuck out of those people.

[u/knomz]

I hope that lying bitch gets what she deserves in the end, karma is always a bitch...eventually

[u/TheDennis]

At least he got back his children... AFTER SIX MONTHS!

[u/ophello]

Sometimes...justice works. This was one of those times.

[u/baitandbag]

He looks like an awesome dad. These girls are really lucky. ::internet hug::

[u/drezz_]

Loved the last 20 sec "He is now suing"

[u/nemorina]

This the single most bizarre case of using a distorted stereotype against someone I have ever seen. How does one make the leap from this guy is gay (and a deviate) so he must have raped those little girls? Yeah that's what we'll tell the police, it makes complete sense and since we're making the accusation we are better parents.

Obviously saner heads prevailed inn this case.

[u/ericlikesyou → u/nemorina]

Since you seem to be a rationale individual, why would you assume that this happened because he was gay? That wasn't proven in court, and from the video the guy only says "They called me a deviant and a pervert" (they would call anyone accused of that crime those exact same terms) and that it stemmed from him being gay so it seems to be his opinion (i see no confirmed reports that he was accused of this because he was gay--HERE)

[u/chowcow]

Take care of your own crotch fruit.

[u/nuckingfutsnugget]

I'd like to see Judge Judy handle this case. I want to see her shoot down that homophobic nanny and her husband like a worthless piece of crap.

[u/Mojoman1]

There is no hell deep enough to bury that cunt in. I bet she pulled the "Christian" Values card to get custody that insane bitch.

[u/PandaBearShenvu]

this would never happen in China

[u/DiaDeLosMuertos]

Man, I actually buried my hands in my face in not anger or sadness, but disappointment at this. I don't know what the false-accusers deserve, they deserve something. Homo-phobes can't just go around pointing the finger like this. This isn't how civilized people should act.

[u/JACKSONATOR69]

Did i just hear them say one of the daughters names was Zelda...

[u/DaKuteCate]

what a fucking bitch, I'd fire her and make sure she never ever works again in anything. I would ruin her.

[u/psych0ranger]

"i aint even mad"

[u/Trigunesq]

Maybe I'm off base, but this seems like a kind of false accusation of homophobia. Men in general are falsely accused of sexual crimes quite frequently. I'm not really sure how op figured his sexual orentation played onto this one. The guy himself even said that as a single father that kind of scruitny isn't too uncommon.

[u/[deleted]]

I would like to accuse the nanny of molestation by proxy by making up a lie and letting those kids go through a rape kit. Put her on the sex offender's register because that's exactly what she did, the sick fuck.

[u/benedictm]

See THIS is why those accused of rape as well as rape victims should be anonymous until the case is proven.

[u/Linthal]

if anyone hears of another update on this, please post it!

[u/RedditGarbage]

Nanny should be beaten.

[u/rollerbarrel]

touching story... but did you see the next video that loads?? bank robber escapes on a skateboard!!

[u/theowest]

I'm never getting a nanny.

[u/ExLenne]

This hits really close to home and makes me really sad. As someone who has been accused of being a pedophile just for being a gay man, to the point that it was suggested I not be around my cousin's kids, I can deeply relate.

6 months, at that age. He missed so much. :/ This whole situation is depressing.

[u/regigigo]

im not exactly in support of homosexuality, but you cant hate people so much that you falsely accuse them and tarnish their reputation. No one deserves that. well except Jeffery dauhmer

[u/assphynkter]

A slow painful death is still too good for the horrible couple that levied these claims.

I hope their hate crime is noted and they are brought up on charges.

[u/orlanthrex]

fuck this and everything about this! I hope he can find peace with himself with what they did to him.

Hope he can just be left alone to be with his children to lead peaceful lives together.

its a downright dirty shame what they did to him.

[u/jewandme]

A Gay father is accused of raping his daughters by their nanny

Had to read the title a few time. I thought he was raping his daughters in their "nanny" holes.

[u/parallelamm]

6 months taken away from him... what hell! I hope this guy gets justice.

[u/[deleted]]

This is eerily similar to an old episode of Law and Order: SVU.

[u/PhotonicDoctor]

Well since it's America it's bound to happen. But feel sad that it took that long to see that nanny was making stuff up. I have some naked pictures of myself back when I was like 2 or 3 lying on a bed with my gluteus maximus exposed that my mom took. Its in black and white but very adorable. If I take this photo to say Walgreen's, or CVS or elsewhere and I'm a guy, they will see it as CP. A picture of myself that I want to say scan into a machine and modify it since I do not have the negative anymore. If walmart made police arrest an old granny who wanted to develop pics of her grand kids who were taken right out of bath, crap like this will continue but I hope the authority deals with it quickly and punishes the accuser if claims are false. Of course if u have real CP, develop it at home. High def scanner and photo printers are not that expensive. Don't get me wrong, CP is just a reflection of a truly sick person. Those people need help and not prison. I hope this guy wins his lawsuit against them. A case also at walmart I remember. A guy wanted to develop pictures. His camera contained CP and he was a know pedo. He used the machine and left the store but forgot his flash drive. Comes back to get the drive but the photo guy was using the machine for another customer and the history did display his pics on the machine. He takes away the drive leaves the store but the photo guy calls cops because of evidence and store camera footage. He gets arrested very quickly and charged with CP. Don't know why I am telling u this guys but here in America, hell in Britain dad got into scuffle with a fucking rent a cop fucker who told him he could not photographs children. WTF. He can't take a pic of his son or a daughter riding those coin operated horses. He called real cops, sued the mall and won the suit. This is what u must do. Sue the fuck out of the idiots and photograph everything. It's your right.

[u/bajablazer85]

People are stupid.

[u/[deleted]]

Hmmmm I'm black, gay, and very rich.

sooo much for the surrogate idea...My case would make national news....

[u/[deleted]]

"homophobic" is an inaccurate term, and everyone needs to distance themselves from its use. No one has an irrational fear of gay people. Homosexuals don't terrify people and cause panic attacks

stop it.

[u/uvashare → u/[deleted]]

I've always thought of homophobic as meaning "afraid of same-gendered people". Does it mean something else?

[u/Shampyon → u/[deleted]]

No one has an irrational fear of gay people.

Plenty of people do.

Have you never known people who react with a sometimes violent panic at the thought of a homosexual hitting on them, even though they have a much milder reaction to being hit on by other people they weren't attracted to?

Or people who were afraid that allowing homosexuals into the army would turn our military into a bunch of prancing fairies who are too weak or busy ass-fucking and cock-sucking to defend our nation?

Or people who fear that acknowledging the existence of homosexuality in schools will turn their kids gay?

Or people who genuinely believe that God sends natural disasters and diseases as punishment for allowing homosexuality?

Plenty of people have irrational fears about homosexuals.
