They will continue to lie and deny.
Sadly, I doubt the whole truth will
ever come out.
RIP Esmeralda.

Too many holes in the story. If he was alone in the car with her, how does the witness know he put 5 pills in her drink? What pills were they? What proof do they she was raped and didn't participate willingly, (even if she was underage?) Time frames don't add up at all either.

Underage sex is statutory rape even if she agreed to participate

Underage sex is statutory rape even if she agreed to participate

Right. Having said that, how many times every day do you think statutory rape with willing girls is committed here? Dozens? Hundreds?

And it was her teacher I think.

I'm sure it will eventually be revealed what the pills were. Maybe something that causes hemorrhaging?

They seldom end in death and doesn't make it a valid excuse to penetrate a minor.

Sure she was sexy and from her photos she probably was trying to be. But there are plenty of willing, who just turned legal, young women willing to go to the cabana, if that's your thing.
I'd convict the guy in 2 minutes for being a knucklehead with no self control.
