It was one of the most bizarre sex crimes in recent Tulsa history. Now it’s over, and both adults involved are headed to prison.

The 12-year-old girl showed up a Hillcrest Hospital in midtown Tulsa in July 2021 in labor.

The father-to-be apparently expected to walk out with the girl and their new bundle of joy.

“They walked in just like any other couple would, excited to deliver their newborn child,” Tulsa Police Officer Danny Bean told FOX23 News in 2021.

When the child, well below the age of consent, showed up to give birth, doctors immediately called Tulsa Police to report what was happening.

    I think that’s actually the crux of our disagreement and I don’t think we’ll come together on it.

    I think the fact that he ever engaged in any sort of romantic relationship with a 12 year old makes him more likely to do it again, he’s the kind of person who would get into a relationship with a 12 year old as a 24 year old.

    I believe you are taking the face value indication from the word “genuine relationship” and not really interrogating the “with a 12 year old” part. I don’t think anything I say is gonna change that, and I don’t think your opinion is exactly gonna win over hearts and minds on my end, so I guess I’ll end it there!

      Oh don’t get me wrong, this person needs severe therapy. I just think therapy and productivity for a child he should never be allowed to see (2 children , honestly) is a better outcome for the victim.
