In reply to the discussion: Kaitlyn Hunt's parents lied [View all]dsc
(52,160 posts)44. NOw I will very slowly go paragraph by paragraph through the affadavit.
The first sentence, alone as a paragraph, states that they interviewed the victim, who they don't name,
the second and third paragraphs state what she said (I guarantee in front of her parents). Never, as in not once, do they speak to Katelyn, something you said they did. It no more shows the parents lied than the parents statement shows the victim lied. NOw the word you are looking for is sorry I was such an ass.

So if a 50 year old man had sex with a 14 year old girl, it would be ok if she consented?

I dont think he said to ignore it. I think he's just making an opinion on it

Then the oft repeated 'they were peers in high school' line goes out the window.

I would think the opposite is true. If they were friends for a long time they are definitely peers

It doesn't matter when they started dating. Dating is not illegal if there is no sex involved.

She is also basing this on a comment Kaitlyn's father made. Her mother has it all laid

Definitely statutory rape. A 14-year old cannot meaningfully "consent" to sex with an adult.

I disagree that a 14 year old cannot meaningfully consent to sex with an 18 year old

Her mother didn't lie, cali. And she didn't say she was 17 at the beginning of the school year.

I am sorry, but do you not realize that 17 is above the age of consent, while 14 is below?

I don't give a damn about 17 year olds having sex, with who they choose, even if it's illegal.
