I find this very strange because they are not all from Cedar rapids. Even if they were, what are the chances? Or am i misjudging something?

    Pattern of using vulnerable young women wanting boyfriends and attention. The other female witness who had the other perpetrator confess to her was also very vulnerable - - letting a person into her house and into her private room because 'He Declared He Needed to Talk " . She wasn't even close with him - - These young women are so conditioned to accept contact with anyone that wants it -- she is Lucky She Didn't Get Sucked Into the Bad Motivations of the Defendant and His Accomplice.

      Sadly it’s NOT really hard to do. Men will just say and do whatever to get what they want or need from women. And So many women are NOT secure, and love themselves enough, on their own prior to meeting such evil. A lot of them don’t have a father in their lives, to be shown the correct way to be loved, in the first place. OR The men in their lives, treat them horrifically bad to begin with, and it’s all they have ever known. Then add in, mentally challenged, into the mix, with all of these dang dating apps/sites and BOOM disaster! We need better laws to help, protect and prevent, all these evils in our societies, that pray upon the most vulnerable, and weaker ones. it’s beyond sad and scary out here. BUT it’s happening daily. And only getting worse, by the day.😢

I think she is in absolute what she thinks “love” with me. If she was nervous about seeing him she would do long deep stares at him and constantly looking at him. She would try to avoid looking his way I would think. I think she thinks he did this so he could be with her so that makes her happy. She seems very child like. How old is she?
