[quote=Scarlett]If what ALL what sdr said is true, and that’s all it was to it, then the guy was probably a 19-20 yr old sleeping with his 16-17 yr old GIRLFRIEND. I don’t find that abnormal or reprehensible. I am not encouraging it, I am not saying that makes it right, and I wouldn’t want my kids do something like that but it doesn’t show that this guy was interested in MUCH younger kids, he was in a relationship. I am not condoning what he did, but for this to be labeled sex offender FOR LIFE… Some other charge.if it was rape, then make it rape charge – but in this case, just a few years difference doesn’t make him a monster that molests minors in general of any age… Do you know how many minors have sex in high school?! How many get caught?. And by the way, I have a daughter. If I would be able to verify the story, and that was ALL it was to it,it wouldn’t bother me at all if he lives next door.[/quote]
