Sexual assault
 

Grrrr I don't get it.
A 14 yo boy and a 14 yo girl get caught naked in bed before then have sex. They both freely admit sex was there intention and nobody was coerced.
The boy is charged with a serious crime.
The girl is charged with a misdemeanor.
First of all to charge either one is silly, IMO. But the difference in the charges is clearly sexist.:rar:

I can't hepl but think there's more to the story that we're getting from this article. I mean, jeez, the boy's dad says he refuses to listen to him... a teenager who won't listen to his parents? Man! We don't have enough jails to lock em all up.

They both clearly need a knot up side the gourd but I insist they both get the same knot.

I think it all boils down to the fact that the prosecuter has a deep seated anger that she ended up with a name like Kornblum.

Another set of lives ruined because of blatant stupidity. Our legal system truly does suck.

Perhaps there is more to this story than just the sex. But how bad does your kid have to be for you to go and throw them in jail?

Why didn't I find any 14 yr old girls like that when I was that age????

She sounds like a bitter old hag. I'm reminded of Ms. Crabtree, having recently watched that Southpark episode with the icecream and teetering school bus. I wonder if she's seeking vengeance for not having gotten any as a teen? One must wonder, with a last name like "Kornblum".

"I believe they had to be brought before an authority."

I didn't read the article but I guess its safe to say these children don't have parents?

They have parents, but the boy's father hated him enough to tell the prosecutors he was violating a deferred prosecution agreement, and the girl's mother called the cops on them in the first place.

What these kids really needed was to learn about the Fifth Amendment. Specifically, the right to remain silent. If they had refused to tell authorities anything, the authorities would have had no case -- even if they didn't respect the prosecutor's AUTHOWITAY, which seems to be what the case is really about.

Gotta love the bit in the article about "While authorities say their prosecution is meant to help, not punish, the teens". Yeah. Like a felony conviction helps anyone. The only thing more stupid would be if they were charging them as adults.

In some jurisdictions, a minor charged with a felony sexual assault will still be labeled a "sexual predator" for life, with all that neighbor notification and whatnot.

Another indication of Ms Kornblums repressed hate is that "he" gets felony and "she" gets misdemeanor. Bitch!:mad:

Well of course. Aren't women always being oppressed? He probably led her astray, or something. Damned dirty males.

     Heh, this is cute.      Don't you wish you had someone willing to help you like that when you were young?

     Jokes aside, both kids are clearly fucked up. Maybe their parents didn't care enough or they had bad potty training, don't know, don't care. This got started as a threat and has snowballed strictly because of the way they act. I've known lots of people with abandonment issues and people that were sexually molested at a young age. You know what? They coped as teens and continue to cope without challenging anyone to call the police. Hell, I did lots of stuff as a teen that wasn't, ahem, strictly legal, but if I got caught I didn't talk shit. That's life and if they can't handle it then prison as adults will await them.

     And yes Bruce, charging the boy more severely than the girl is bullshit.

From the article:
It doesn't say how the boy pleaded. Maybe the girl's less-severe charge is due to a plea bargain?

You simply can't reach the conclusion you're jumping to without more information.
