with the specialist and a model agency. [Girl] allegedly appeared at the subject's residence in her bathing suit at a time when the subject was alone. She posed in the bathing suit and in the nude for pictures taken by Granello with [girl's] camera. Granello removed the film and maintained possession of the same. Thereafter, Granello allegedly had intercourse with her. [Girl] advised investigating officers that she was too frightened to protest at the time, but later advised her boyfriend, [name redacted] of the occurrence.
Granello told [girl] that he would take her to consult the specialist in NYC on June 11 last. However, in the event his chauffeur was unable to pick her up he gave her $20 for bus fare to NYC.
Following disclosure of the alleged rape by [girl] to [her boyfriend] the latter suggested that she advise her parents and thereafter, [girl's] mother advised the NYS police. [Girl] was examined on the evening of June 11 by Doctor [name redacted] Greenwood Lake, New York, who acknowledged that [girl] had sexual relations but was unable to determine the time or previous chastity of [girl] due to the lapse of time since the occurrence.
IDK why people are surprised about things like this, but I'm not surprised.
A lot of people seem to have a romanticized view of mobsters based on what they have seen in Martin Scorsese movies.
I think selling drugs and killing other gangsters is one thing, but raping little girls is another. We all know they're not glamorous or romantic figures, but expect better even from mobsters.
The thing to me is, did the other mobsters know? I mean it's not like they had wikipedia back in the 60s or whatever and could look up to see whether their consigliere was a rapist or not.
U seem to think because a man carries himself like Don Corleone his dickk doesn't get hard at under-aged girls because supposedly he is a man of honor.
-this man of honor does not kill his best friends
-does not kill witnesses (citizens)
-does not kill neighbors
-does not take part in dog fighting
-does not extort an honest working man trying to provide for his family (even if he has a sick kid requiring medical bills)
-does not run prostitution rings involving under 18s
-does not threaten little old ladies
-does not sell drugs to kids
-does not fukk their friends underaged daughter
