They were talking about this on the radio this morning and this young man was an excellent football player and had scholarships to college and looked as though he had a promising future. I think this is fairly common with people dating people who are a little younger. This girl was also I think a month away from being 16 from what I heard which would have been age of consent in that state. I think they are just trying to make an example out of this person. I have seen people commit much worse crimes yet walk away with nothing. Its just a shame. Another thing he refuses to plea guilty cause then he would have to register as a sex offender and wouldnt be able to live at home when he gets out cause he has a younger sister. What a shame...... What an abuse of our justice system.
When I was 15 about 16 my bf at that time was 23 now it sounds gross but I couldnt imagine him going to jail for dating me we were together for a little over 3yrs. Mentally I think he was much younger than me lol. I mean when I was in 10th grade there were kids who were 16 or 17 and I was 15 what if I dated them I guess this will give kids an eye opener cause when your in the same grade and hang out and date u really dont consider the age and that person your dating could go to jail for dating u. Alright this has become a ramble its just something that touches a spot with me.
