Under Virginia law, he contributed to the delinquency of a minor - and that is what he was convicted of.

Except very much minus the closets and denials.
Actually, those two are sort of critical. I really donāt get the outrage here: heās said to have a āthingā for POST-pubescent teenages nubiles. News Flahs: F.C.O.L. our FREAKING ENTIRE CONSUMER COMMERCE CULTURE has a āthingā for post-pubescent teen age nubiles!
Some people seem to have trouble remembering that human beings are not āmade in the image of Godā, but are in fact a subbranch of great apes off the monkey branch of the mammal line of eukaryotic organisms.

Yeah, it is quite different in the fact that Strom denied the whole thing until the end. I was just pointing out the apparent power differential between the mother and the father, especially in terms of āraceā.

Thatās what got me to click too. I was thinking maybe test tube baby, turkey baster, or something like that. I am not proud that this is where my mind went, but cāmon, given the wording of the headline on the front page, that did seem to be what was being implied!

Your opinion does not constitute the law. In many states, a girl of that age may consent. AFAIK, a girl of that age may legally marry in all states.
It is odd, however, that in many states, a man may legally marry a girl of that age, but sex with her outside of marriage constitutes a crime.

Young girls are often attracted to older men for a butt ton of reasons. Security is a biggie, but itās usually indicative of prior sexual molestation of the younger woman.
He looks like a real life ventriloquist dummy.

As a retired scientist who worked in reproductive physiology at a major medical school I can conjure up some pretty radical ways of creating kids if I put my mind to it. Based on the original headline I was hoping to read about one of those ways.
Drat! It was just a costume ball after all.

Iām much relieved to know that I wasnāt hallucinating when I read and reacted to the original headline. Glad to see others were expecting turkey basters and test tubes of some sort or other. Now I can return to my jigsaw puzzle.

There is something really really weird about that historical photo.
More weird is handing out the pic to āChanne 6ā news.
I donāt want to diagnose a disease or mental issue but this guys behavior is very odd.
I will say it is nice heās acknowledging this child is his, no matter how big of a buffoon heās being.

All too typical,lazy TPM reporting. The delegate is not a Democrat any more. He claims to be an independent. But leave it to TPM to take a back-handed shot anyway. More Fox News light everyday. Josh Marshall ought to be ashamed of how poor TPM has become in recent years. They canāt wait to do any story that either denigrates a Democrat or more likely a story about a GOPer and what they said about a Democrat. And then there is the GOP shill reporter Sahilā¦smh

Not your badāthe hedline writerās bad.
Are you saying all interracial marriages are exploitative?
Get your headline straight. On the main page it said that he fathered in a strange way. I clicked, anticipating some story of turkey basters or shared hot tubs or maybe cloning. There I found that the only strange thing he did was dress up for a picture. I assume the fathering was done in the usual way.
YOU HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. STOP IT.

Ah, no: ĀØ I was just pointing out the apparent power differential between the mother and the father, especially in terms of 'race,'ĀØ accentuated by the antebellum outfits theyāre wearing.
So this idiot has four fathered children by four different women. Does he not know about condoms?
In most states, if he had been a 19 year old boy who got caught having sex with his 17 year old girlfriend, he would serve time for statutory rape and be labeled forever as a sexual predator. It is ever so much worse that he was her 57 year old boss.
I am curious if he is as loving to the other three children and mothers. I hope he gets asked some hard questions at his press conference today.
PSā¦the baby is 9 weeks, not months.
Why is it always the rapistās responsibility to bring the protection? /snark
Lock the bastard up.
Yes. I donāt know if anyone saw the movie Belle, but it was about the biracial child of an English nobleman. There was a whole plot concerning the painting of Belle and her cousin. Traditionally blacks were depicted lower in paintings, but in this one, Belle was on equal footing. Now we have this picture. I am sure it was intended as a cute engagement picture kitch picture, but the symbolism is unfortunate. http://thebrimstonebutterfly.blogspot.com/2011/10/dido-elizabeth-belle-kenwood-and-beyond.html
Um, youāre right.
