Whether you watch the 6:00 news, read a newspaper or catch up with stories on the Internet, you hear about crimes being committed everyday. A lot of those crimes involve sexual assault, molestation, or pornography. No matter how large or small the town is, these crimes occur all too often. No matter how nice of neighborhood you live in, or how peaceful things may seem, it's still very possible for these horrific crimes to take place.
In Newberg, Oregon a man was just arrested with four other adults for multiple sex crimes including rape and sodomy. This man lived in a quiet little town with his two daughters. In addition to the rape and sodomy charges, Darrin Daily is said to also have images of a four year old girl on his computer and was posting Craigslist ads for others to have sex with a fourteen year old girl. Both she and another teenage girl have said they have had sex with Daily, and that he had given them alcohol and marijuana. Any adult who takes advantage of an underage child is wrong. To use drugs and alcohol to further manipulate them is even worse.
This story does not state whether Daily's own daughters were victims, and does not say where their mother may be. It also does not say whether Daily has a previous record. These are all questions that should be answered. His daughters were probably witness to some of these crimes if not victims themselves. Let's hope this that they are in a safe place now while waiting to hear what their father's future may hold. If he is found guilty on ANY of these charges, he should not be allowed to care for his two children. It will be interesting to see how this one unfolds.

There is a petition right now that is even asking for an additional eleven years to be added to sentencing when an offender uses alcohol on a victim. Please visit this site to learn more about Jasmine's Law and to sign this petition.
