contributing to the delinquency of a minor

So sexual activity makes young women “delinquent”, does it? This country has a long way left to go to overcome its puritanical underpinnings…

Probably not plain vanilla teenage sexual activity, but sexual activity with an older man?

In any case, he denied any sexual activity with her even with his having sent nude photos of the girl to a third party. Somehow this sleaze ball got the child porn charges and so on dropped to the point that she looks like the guilty party in his plea. He’s got multiple illegitimate kids which he lied to her about, and she married him anyway…

The good news is that he’s an ex-Democrat. But Richmond, WTF.

I had relationships with adult men when I was 16 and 17 (and if you had to spend time around the boys at my high school, it’d be easy to see why). I like to think I turned out okay.

The idea that the same laws that cover real horrors like shooting video of small children being raped also apply to women years past puberty willingly sending photos of themselves to their lovers is really twisted. (Though in this case, yeah, the fact that the guy sent the photos to a third party - I have no problem with THAT being criminal. But it’s not what I would call “child porn” - rather a creepy violation of trust and privacy.)
