Warning: It’s Only Sexual Assault if He Succeeds in Getting a Blowjob

Sorted under sexual assault on February 10, 2008

Mike Brown Jackson County Commissioner Mike Brown was acquitted in a court in Michigan after being found not guilty of committing fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, a misdemeanor, and attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct, which is a felony.

Mike Brown, a 61 year old man had admitted to exposing himself to a 24 year old woman whom he was giving a ride home to, as well as trying to push her head into his lap in hopes of her performing oral sex. However, he was found not guilty because he had not exerted the force needed to actually succeed in receiving said oral sex. Michigan’s law states that a person will be found guilty of criminal sexual conduct if “force or coercion is used to accomplish the sexual conduct.”

Are you kidding me? So a person can try to force someone into a sexual act without consent, however, if they aren’t successful then it doesn’t really count? That’s pretty much on the same lines of saying “Well sure, I ripped all of her clothes off and inserted myself into her, but I didn’t cum so I don’t think I should be found guilty of rape.”

Juror Rudy Nowles stated that both the woman as well as Brown had “both made big mistakes” and “[were] both stupid”, however, I also cannot see his side of those statements. As far as I’m concerned, a woman needed a ride home and had accepted a ride from a Jackson County Commissioner, who you would think would be a safe and logical decision and also taking into consideration that she had known this man, therefore making her not so stupid. The juror is correct, however, in saying that Brown was stupid, for lack of much more harsh and demeaning words, but not the woman. This juror is basically taking the blame from Brown and once again, as we have seen in many cases, pushing the blame for Brown’s acts on the woman making it her fault that she was not only sexually assaulted, but did not even receive the justice that she was deserved in this case.

I’m willing to bet that we’ll most likely see more of Mike Brown in the future. This woman had the support system and the ability to speak up about what had happened to her and Brown, at 61 years old, has probably done this to more women in the past. Perhaps with this woman’s bravery will provoke other women who have been assaulted by Brown to speak up and come forward.

  • Craziness! Any word of this guy's past and if he's done this before?
  • Man it's pretty messed up world we live in, it's really hard to keep any faith.
  • Damn.
    So there is a charge for attempted murder but not attempted rape??
  • So, here I go again. Well, it's just so weird that there is a law that if a man did not succeed on his "mission" he can be acquitted...hmmmm...creepy, isn't it? Where is the justice there for the woman? Where do we draw the line? Do we have to wait until a man succeeds in his "mission" before he can go to jail? How he can say that they "both made a big mistake"? I hope it will not happen this to his(Juror Rudy Knowles) loved ones.

    If this happens to me, just to call "quits"...I'll squeeze his balls til he drops on the floor...OUCH!!!
  • the thought of him getting a bj makes me sick!
  • Thats just a joke. Some laws are so out of date. It's ridiculous how he could have got away with it. So now people could go out and sexually harass women and just back off at the point where they could become guilt.
  • This absolutely disgusts me. Deep and to the core! This fucker should be behind bars, period.

    What a sad and putridly disgusting world we live in where fucktards like this get away with their crimes time and time again. It's all about who you know and who you blow (NO pun intended). And as a County Commissioner, he obviously worked his connections to prevent himself from being found as he truly is...guilty. Sick, sad and sick.

    All I can say is that I hope he ends up behind bars some day soon, which is where he ultimately deserves to be.

    Man, I hate this country more and more each day. Methinks it's time for a full move elsewhere.

    Shine on,

  • Wow, that is really disgusting. I get so mad when people blame the woman. Sure, maybe sometimes there is bad judgment on the woman's part but does that mean she DESERVED to get raped or assaulted or ASKED for it? Absolutely not.

    I have a feeling you're right about not seeing the last of him. I bet he thinks he's something now that he got away with this.
  • The world is a weird place. So it is open season now ? Men constantly amaze (and disgust) me - and I am one !
  • Wow! That is truly sick that he got away with it.
  • yeah, you're right he might have done this to a lot of girls. why isnt he going to jail for this! not applying force doesnt count? the fact that he push her head or falshed his **** is already not right!!!!!
