The 15-year-old girl who authorities say was raped Aug. 24 is mentally
or physically incapacitated, according to search and arrest warrants
obtained from Goochland County courts.
Craig A. Ferguson, 34, a child-protective services employee for the city
of Richmond, was arrested Sept. 7 and charged with rape of a minor. He
is accused of having sexual intercourse with a girl whom he met while
volunteering with the Goochland County Fire-Rescue Association.
The girl claimed Ferguson came to her parents' home in Goochland while
they were away and had intercourse with her in the attic playroom,
according to a search warrant filed by the Goochland sheriff's office.
The girl is enrolled in special-education classes and "is described by
her parents as playing with doll babies like a small child," the court
documents said.
Investigators and prosecutors declined to comment on whether the alleged
intercourse was consensual or forced.
Authorities searched Ferguson's mobile home in the 3200 block of River
Road West the day of his arrest. Among the items they recovered were two
computers, three phones, several cameras and boxes of photos, electronic
storage devices, videotapes and a Palm Pilot, according to the warrant.
A 2000 Ford Ranger pickup truck registered to Ferguson was impounded by
investigators. In it, authorities found an Internet printout of a map of
the area in which the girl lives with her parents. The printout was
dated Aug. 24, the date he is accused of raping her.
Authorities also recovered a .25-caliber semiautomatic weapon with an
ammunition clip holding six rounds.
Goochland Fire-Rescue Chief Ken Brown said Ferguson served four years as
a volunteer, and his background check came up clean.
Authorities have said they believe Ferguson met the girl at the
fire-rescue department's annual summer fire camp, where he worked as an
instructor.
Ferguson's page on MySpace -- a popular social-networking Web site --
lists him as a Marion native and graduate of West Virginia Wesleyan
College who is married with three children.
Ferguson has been employed since 2002 with the Richmond Department of
Social Services. The department suspended him without pay pending the
outcome of the charge and has declined to comment until that time.
On Monday, Goochland General District Court Judge Edward K. Carpenter
appointed a lawyer to represent Ferguson, who did not request bond.
A preliminary hearing in Goochland Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court
has been set for October, according to the Goochland commonwealth's
attorney's office.

CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A
DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA
WIRETAPPING PROGRAM....
CPS Does not protect children...
It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even
killed at the hands of Child Protective Services.

Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US
These numbers come from The National Center on
Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN)
Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS
Perpetrators of Maltreatment
Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59
Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13
Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241
Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12
Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5
Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that
are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per
100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse
and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the
citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold
parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY
government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and
death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more
human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which
they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that
they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when
children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a
bunch of social workers.
CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT
FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON...
BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF
REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES
TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY
ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION...
