*Well ain’t this nothin’. Actually it literally is nothing in that it didn’t happen to begin with. We’re talking about the story we posted earlier about a white man urinating on a 5-year-old black girl in Michigan and calling her the n-word. Now, prosecutors in the case are now saying the children involved in the incident made the story up.
The Kent County Michigan Prosecutors office on Friday released and dropped the charges against the 60-year-old man who was arrested on Wednesday in the case, reports TheAP.
Here’s what happened according to the DA’s office after it investigated the allegation. They say that another child urinated on the girl, but the children lied about the man “to avoid trouble.”
The story goes that the little 5-year-old girl, the supposed victim, came home soaking wet after playing outside. According to her mother, the child was afraid to tell her what happened “because she thought she was going to get in trouble.” The mother then said she called her boys to tell her what happened, and they said that an older white man jumped from behind some bushes, called the little girl a “stupid n-word” and started peeing on her.
Anyway, the young girl’s parents called the police, who canvassed the neighborhood and picked up a 60-year-old convicted sex offender, who was taken into custody without incident.
After an investigation, the children’s story (police reported that a 5-year-old and two 7-year-olds were witnesses) fell apart and the man was released from custody.
Well, ain’t that about a …
