I know Andy, but damn, we've gone from outrage to downright execution of this 16 year old, then to the the acknowledgement that this 12 year old was there, at his house - willingly - with a friend.

I'm not excusing him, heck, he messed up badly, indeed, but there still seems to be some information we're not onto - yet.

Yes, she was underage, we got that point. So is he.

This is going to take some time to figure out what really happened, no?

If it were merely statutory, it would be third degree sex offense based on the two ages.
I stand corrected. In looking closer, the difference between 1st and 2nd degree is the use of a weapon, inflicting serious injury on them, or leading them to believe they can and will inflict serious injury on them or on someone they know. Or kidnapping the person or during the commission of another crime or with the help of another person.

Too bad he can't be put on death row to start with.

however, even if this was consensual he is still going down for Statutory RAPE ... but I would expect some crap like this from the defense Atty ..... kinda sounds like the duke NON Rape case .... except no rich white boys ...


of course I will ask again where were the parents ....

I know home sleeping

all very confusing

I think I missed something.

Where does it say, or suggest, that this kid, John Edison was not the only one who was assaulting/raping the 12 year old?

Someone said there was another involved..............
