Sentenced: 19YO Man Rapes 14YO & 12YO Girls After Convincing Their Family He’s 14 & To Let Him Stay With Them

[Sugar Cookie]

Ethan Dekalita, 19, was arrested in Cass City, Michigan after authorities said he lied about his age and family situation – all so he could stay at the young victim's home and sexually assault her and her 12-year-old sister.

According to Michigan State Police, they were called to a home in Cass City where a boy was believed to have been abandoned by a family member. As police investigated, they learned the subject had been lying about who he was and his age.

The family that spoke to police said the person said his name was Ethan and he was 14 years old. He had befriended their 14-year-old daughter on Snapchat and decided to come visit for a day.

When it was time for him to leave, Ethan told the girl's mother there was a family emergency and he asked to stay overnight. Ethan wound up staying several days and, when her mother couldn't contact Ethan's family, she sensed something wasn't wrong and called 911.

MSP troopers arrived and determined Ethan wasn't 14 but was actually 19. They also said that Dekalita had been preying on the 14-year-old and convinced her to let him come visit and stay at her house. During that time, he sexually assaulted the 14-year-old and her 12-year-old sister.

I had a 19 year old after me when I was 14. It was terrifying. He'd follow me around everywhere. And desperately wanted to get into my pants. I was so innocent that THAT was never going to happen, but knowing someone is willing to stalk you so they can have sex with you is a mindfuck. I'd never even heard about that kind of thing in the fall of '84!

This one needs to spend some quality time with a knifer...

knifer: The procedure for castration varied by country and purpose, but in China, a specialist called a "knifer" would perform the operation.

The parents need to have their heads examined.

I do not care if the world was coming to an end my parents would never let a teen male stay over.

I'm 54 and that shit wouldn't happen NOW! Legit, she had to move in with me back in Nov. of '21, and she's told me that if I find myself in need of that being unmarried, I'd better have enough money for a hotel room or stay at his place. In my own damn home!

I would think he was in his twenties, seeing that beard stubble,and hell NO, he would not stay in my house with my daughters, no discussion, no hesitation he would leave or I would call the cops and have him dragged out.

When I was 12, I had a friend that could grow a full beard at 12. He'd pass for 21 cause he could buy cigarettes and alcohol.

Yeah I guess it could happen at 14, but I suppose I was thinking of my boys and the older one (now 45) looked 12 until he was nearly 30 , and the younger one at 40 can't grow a decent beard, it's really spotty, mostly neck beard. lol

what a joke of a sentence seeing that he raped not one but 2 girls (that we know of) the sentences should be one each and server consicutively at the very least ... he ruined at least these 2 girls' lives and they will have to live with it the rest of their lives especially the oldest one as she will blame herself for what happened to her little sister as she is the one that brought him into their lives heck he will be out of prison at 25 years old so how many more lives will he ruin????
