Fortune Teller Charged with Raping Teens.
One of the girls has testified that during the spring and summer of 2007, she was 16 when she met Duran on a street. She said he told her to pick up a leaf and crumple it so he could read her fortune. Kim recalled for jurors that Duran told her she was lonely, going to die and bad things would happen to her family. Kim said Duran met the girl at his home the following day and told her: “I can help you, but I have to be in you.”
When the girl said she didn’t understand, the prosecutor said Duran told her: “My spirit has to be in you.” They eventually had sex at least six times, Kim said.
The other alleged victim testified she was 14 when she met Duran at the first victim’s house. When she crushed a leaf, Duran allegedly peered at it and told her she would be a prostitute, have three children and die by the time she was 18.
The prosecutor said Duran told her he could help if she showed him her private parts.
These are the classic definition of what was once referred to as “dumb bunnies.”
Life is tough… it’s tougher when you’re stupid.
If I were the father of one of these girls, I’d have a clear vision on what this guy’s future would be.
Re LaMoora… If I were the father of one of these girls, first I would crumple his balls, and then tell him his fortune…
… he would be a eunuch before he was 5 seconds older.
If I was the father of one of those girls. I would start over or if she’s hot enough find some rich dude/Gal to marry. She sure isn’t going to make it on her brains. Yes, what the guy did was wrong but this is just plain dumb.
FYI Age of Consent in California is 18.
Why do people believe this non-sense superstition? Fortune tellers cannot tell the future. If they could, they would win the lottery. Seriously.
“These are the classic definition of what was once referred to as “dumb bunnies.” /// I must say that is a bit harsh. Young girls, isolated in the suburbs, raised by TV and the church.
There was a CRUMPLED LEAF. That lends the con all types of credibility. Think of bond rating agencies.
Read the one about the adult who supposedly would go to heaven if he blew himself up and other around him?
Hire only genuine gypsy fortune tellers.
#6 Some churches teach you “when you believe, go all out.” This can leave their charges open to “going all out” in their naivete …
… other churches, like ours, teach our youth to check and discern, so they can make wise decisions. After all the Bible does inform us to test before leaping into anything, even faith. Please don’t lump all churches into the same bag, nor all isolated, suburban raised young girls together, either!
#6, #9 actually if you read the Bible, most people don’t, you would learn that you aren’t supposed to have anything at all to do with fortune tellers and that would go double for any sleaze that told you break Biblical codes of conduct.
However even if you have no religious training these girls fell for a line anyone with a working brain should have ignored and called the cops.
I’m curious how many girls did he try these lines on before he found a taker? And did any of the girls not taken in report him as the creep he is to authorities?
Think I’ll go dust off my crystal ball.
What separates civil society from animals is that we look down on preying on the weak.
