Fayetteville, N.C. — A registered sex offender has been charged in connection with an alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl, authorities said Tuesday.
Orlando Florentino Reynolds, 22, of 2044 Ivey Commons Road in Fayetteville, is charged with second-degree forcible rape. He was being held in the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $25,000 secured bond.
Authorities said the girl was semi-conscious, claiming she took medication and consumed alcohol before the alleged assault. The incident is alleged to have occurred between last September and October, authorities said.
Reynolds was registered last year in North Carolina as a sex offender after he was convicted in Fairfax County of taking indecent liberties with a minor.

My daughter is 18 and if this incident involved her, you'd be reading about the young man being missing!
I hate to say this, but I blame fathers. Many fathers don't teach their daughters how to protect themselves from predators.
ALL men are predators. We have more hormones than brains. Fathers need to teach their daughters how to use situational awareness to prevent themselves from being vulneralbe to such attacks.

Admit it or not, Cable, men think about sex all the time, and some choose not to control it, like this guy in this report.

I understand about not holding "mistakes" over people heads, but something has to be done. Yet when you notify law enforcement about these sex offenders, their answer is "there is nothing we can do"...yet when something happens, the blame game starts and they are asking people to call in with information, etc...why, the response is always the same, "there's nothing that can be done".
They can add more officers to patrol where sex offenders live. I would rather for my tax dollars for these officers to be paid to go to ensure the safety of children and other innocent victims from these predators.
