Firefighter Charged with Rape of 13 Year Old

Following up on a story posted by Dave Statter earlier today, a young firefighter with the Chancellor Volunteer Fire Department has been charged with statutory rape of a 13 year old girl following an incident in Spotsylvania, Virginia that involved a fire department vehicle.

Justin Baber, 23, allegedly met the victim through a mis-sent text message, and she agreed to rendezvous with him. Barber used a fire department vehicle for the rendezvous.

Here is a news video on the arrest. However several news sources are reporting that the victim “recanted” her story to a counselor. Others are reporting that she “recounted” her story to a counselor….. big difference there folks….

    Thanks for the info Nicholas. Like I said, some of the news reports are saying that she “recanted” her story… in other words that she admitted it did not happen. Other news reports say she “recounted” or simply retold the story.

    The video shows the guys are behind FF Baber. Keep us posted on how it turns out.
