He just...

wanted to rape her.

Straight up.

I also think that part of the reason that she continued hanging out with DQ, again, was because she was attached to him.

She was a teenager.

Teenagers don't know exactly what they're feeling.

They think that they're in love.

They think that this person is their entire world and even though bad things are happening to her, again, we saw that she saw DQ as

as her savior, as her protector, as her other half, as a shoulder to cry on.

So clearly...

something else was happening where she just felt attached to him.

So let's not victim blame because, you know, I did question that too.

I wondered why she was continuing to hang out with DQ, but based on the text messages, based on her age, we can tell that she clearly was just attached to him in some way for some reason.

So let's not blame the 16-year-old girl who was raped, or I guess the 15-year-old girl who was raped at the time, because again, she was 15 at the time of the rape, 16 at the time of the murders.

Let's not blame her.

Let's blame the 43-year-old adult who raped her.

Either way, at the end of the rape trial in December of 2018, the jury did find Quinn James guilty of third-degree criminal sexual misconduct.

For this, he was sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in prison.

Then, finally, in April of 2019, the trial for murder started.

The prosecution argued that Quinn James kidnapped and killed Moojay so that she could not testify against him at the upcoming rape trial.
