Mother Uses Facebook to Track Down Boy, 17, for “Under-Age Sex” with 12-Year-Old Daughter

Joie Lee first became suspicious when she read part of an argument between her daughter, and the girlfriend of 17-year-old Rodney Duncan posted on the social networking site. When she found references to sex between Duncan and her daughter, she set about tracking down the girlfriend in order to confront the teenager face-to-face. Speaking to WSBTV.com, Mrs Lees said of the initial Facebook post: ‘It gave me a picture of the young man. I knew who he was. It led me to the girlfriend. She had information.’

After locating Duncan, and armed with information from his girlfriend, she confronted his mother at their home. But after Duncan’s mother refused to talk her, Mrs Lee went to the police. Duncan was arraigned on statutory rape charges on Tuesday. Speaking outside court, Mrs Lee said: ‘Parents, if someone is coming to you to let you know that your overage son has been engaging with sexual activities with your under-age daughter, listen. ‘I really feel sorry for him. He will have to go register as a sex offender.’ Because of her silence, Mrs Lee is convinced Duncan’s mother knew what was going on. Mrs Lee said: ‘ I believe she did, that’s why she was extremely defensive with me. ‘She never wanted to talk with me because she knew what was going on.’
