Darrin Manning : Teen allegedly assaulted by Philadelphia police
A 16-yr-old African American boy was sexually assaulted by a police officer during a “stop and frisk” pat-down.
Darrin Manning, a 16-yr-old African American boy, said he was sexually assaulted by a police officer during a “stop and frisk” pat-down.
The assault was committed with such violence that the youth’s testicles were literally ruptured, says his family.
Now teen from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania may never be able to father children, according to the doctors who performed surgery on his virtually destroyed testicles.
Darrin was a star basketball player with no criminal history . He was a straight-A student who never got into any sort of trouble.
Philly.com reports, he was with his teammates heading to a game right after school when he encountered an officer who decided he was “suspicious” and needed to be subjected to local “stop and frisk” procedures.
All of the boys with Darrin had scarves covering the lower parts of their faces. But this was simply due to the extreme cold weather that had swept the region, with record-low temperatures that day.
Veronica Joyner, the Principal of the high school the teens attended, said that she herself had given the boys scarves to wear to keep warm in the freezing temperatures. Twenty minutes later, she was informed of Darrin’s arrest.
Darrin was put in handcuffs. When the officer began “frisking” him, he alleged they grabbed his genitals so hard that the his genitals literally tore off.
“I felt the officer reach and grab my butt. Then the officer grabbed my testicles and squeezed again and pulled down. And that’s when I heard something pop, like I felt it POP,” Manning said.
Keon Gerow, Pastor of Catalyst for Change Church, said “We want to have some questions answered and some accountability. We want the entire public to be aware, not only of the Darrin Manning situation, but the entire issue of police brutality.”
This story is without question one of the most severe cases of documented police abuses of power, brutality and sexual assault.
