[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;48383086]But she wasn't taken advantage of, [I]she solicited sex from another teen/adult.[/I]
If she was coerced into it or raped, then maybe, but she wasn't. She wanted it. She lied. She agreed to meet.
She may not have the [I]legal[/I] capacity to consent, being a minor and all, but she [I]chose[/I] to do that.
The guy wasn't looking for sex from a minor, he was looking for sex from a 17 year old. Instead he got sex from a 14 year old pretending to be a 17 year old, and his life is ruined because she was horny.[/QUOTE]
Regardless of how shitty she's behaving [i]being underage means you cannot consent[/i]. Legally, she is the victim and there is no question about that. Whether or not the adult was somehow mislead into sleeping with someone underage, it is their responsibility to ensure they're sleeping with someone above the age of consent. If you reversed this you could literally imprison a child for being raped if they agreed to something they had no understanding of, you have to see how that would be wrong.
Statutory rape laws definitely need a bit of an overhaul but you should really seriously consider the legal consequences of creating a legal situation where a statutory rapist can not only get off free but also charge the victim by proving they consented when the entire point of the law is the person is too young to consent.
Seriously guys this is old news. A news website was way behind the times. Anything you could have ever said was already said on the first thread.
if they had got together and prayed to jesus instead none of this would have happened smh
Late article or not, I'm really curious about the judge situation. Can't you appeal for change of venue or is it for specific cases only?

He should be made a Facepunch moderator, if you ask me.

But she actively sought out the situation to begin with. Her actions got him punished.
[QUOTE=mooman1080;48375714]It's a grey area, she certainly shouldn't be locked up or placed on the list her self but you can't just say she learned her lesson and give her a slap on the wrist. Perhaps some sort of system for both of them that fully explains the consequences of what happened and what can happen rather than just what she sees from the boy going through legal hell.[/QUOTE]
that is the parents responsibility. the government isn't always obliged to tell people not to do risky things
Isn't providing false information, to coerce someone into sex they wouldn't have knowing the truth, rape....
Isn't this the kind of rape we are always up everyone's ass that they should learn about and stop....
He didn't know she was fourteen she probably looked like an adult what a load of bullshit how does that make him a pedophile he didn't know she was that young wouldn't that make him an accidental pedophile?

Laws are just rules, but some of them don't make any sense. Adhering to the laws that don't make sense is like saying 2+2=5. Rationality and reason should supersede the law.
The law may say she can't consent, but that has no bearing on the reality that she really did.

No it's not lol, she didn't rape him bro.
When the next generation of kids being born right now grows up, their future sex partners will have to present them their birth certificate and sign legal forms in triplicate.
That's really where it's heading now. Even if you ask your partner their actual age, and keep asking, there is no legal defense besides going to the county records office and viewing their records, which is absolutely ludicrous.
