Runs on spite.
TRENTON, NJ – A 12-year-old girl who accused her mother's boyfriend of sexually assaulting her in a locked bedroom last spring has since recanted her story, the suspect's defense attorney says.
The incident happened last April (2016):
The girl's mother came home during the incident and banged on the door after hearing "rustling" sounds coming from the room. Her 12-year-old daughter opened the door "in distress," and told her mother what had happened, Downing said. Downing added that the girl said in April that Beita [the boyfriend] had tried to force her to perform oral sex on him in the past. Investigators were able to get DNA evidence implicating Beita in the crime, Downing said Friday.
[Defense attorney] Matey also argued that the girl has since said that Beita never assaulted her and that she only blamed him because, "she didn't like him."
The girl's mother also told Matey that her daughter has made similar, fake accusations before, he said Friday.
"She sort of attacks the credibility of the victim," Matey said of the mother's recantation.
