ORIGINAL: igor2003 --FR-- I did read the article linked to by the OP, but I haven't read all the responses in the thread so I could easily have missed something. In some of the responses that I have read I see people talking about how this encounter possibly ruined this young man's life. Could be...I don't know. But many of the responses seem to be going on the assumption that the guy was a virgin at the time of his encounter with the older woman. Was he? I don't know that either. But if he was already sexually active, then I seriously doubt that there would be a huge negative effect on him just because he received a BJ from an older woman. No, I'm not trying to negate the seriousness of her offense, but it does kind of irk me when people keep going on about his "innocence" when there may not have been any innocence to begin with. And yes, 15 is fairly young...probably too young when looking at it with an adult mindset...but I have one friend that had his first sexual experience when he was only eleven, and that was with a girl that was 15 at the time. I don't think that had much of a negative effect on him. To me, trying to use his "innocence" as an arguing point is baseless unless there is something indicating that he was pure as the driven snow before the encounter. If anyone has anything indicating that he WAS sexually innocent, then that would change my mind considerably. (And like I said, I haven't read all the posts, so if something has already been posted about that point, then...never mind!) As far as the woman's guilt or innocence, the laws are not gender specific, and IF she is guilty, then the court should be just as harsh with her as it would be for a male offender. Now, transpose the genders in everything you wrote and see how that squares. You seem to be saying (in at least one part that really stood out for me) that since this boy may have been sexually active, it shouldn't cause him any issues, as far as you're concerned. It's an interesting defense but one that holds no water with a lot of people and all the courts, in this country. Could you imagine: "But, your honor, she's been having sex since she's twelve. That's four years! I couldn't have raped her."? That doesn't even pass the giggle test (and, allegedly, girls mature faster than boys). Michael
