HIV-Positive Man Accused of Raping 12-Year-Olds, Not Telling Girlfriend about Disease

COLUMBUS (Steve Levine) -- A Columbus man is locked up, accused of raping two 12-year-old girls and not telling his live-in girlfriend he is HIV-positive.

Keith Allen, 27, is charged with felonious assault and two counts of rape. He is currently in the Franklin County Jail under $1.5 million bond.

Court documents state one of the young victims “awoke to Mr Allen on top of her, and forcing vaginal intercourse, she told him it hurts, he ignored her.”

Police say Allen’s two young victims are said to be his girlfriend’s daughter and a cousin. Court records say the unidentified cousin is currently pregnant, allegedly by the defendant.”

he's in prison with a very large bond, don't see this being passed over as "one of those things". It is reprehensible and I hope he is locked up for a long time, but don't see the "rape culture".

or, at the very least, every man is responsible for every rape.

"teach men not to rape" - whaaaa???

Teach men not to steal. Teach men not to kill. Teach men not to assault. As if these things are not already taught, I guess.

Those can all be explained by our murder culture, our assault culture, and our theft culture. society encourages and rewards those too dontchaknow?

Man raped kids, and is now locked up. Is there somebody defending him? Supporting him? Is anyone but his lawyer speaking for his benefit.

Rape culture that work indeed.
