Classic... I was deleted for quoting the 10 commandments. Y'know the one about coveting your neighbor’s beast of burden

Oh L@@K, a news item that is not a reprint of yesterdays
'breaking news' and comments haven't been closed, YET.
How exciting. Can I say "exciting" here?
Look at how many items they have on the board, and how few
we can comment on. If you want to censor them, just do it
by not listing them :-(

What a sick POS!!! And i'm not saying that because its a man with a younger girl as some people think when we all think a 16 year old boy with an older woman is not just the woman's fault. It's because of the "AGE"!! She was 12!! Not 17!

Why would the article say he had sex with her??? He clearly raped her, even if it was via threat... This is horrible. I hope the child is okay.

"On suspicion of having sex with a 12-year-old girl between April 30 and Monday at his residence, according to an arrest report"

I have to agree with Vato, I've seen this so many times, but usually the child distroys a teachers career because she got a bad grade. It happened in Tarpon Springs, and the girl admitted she lied, but they still wouldn't hire the teacher back.

I agree with protecting the identity of a rape victim, but if it turns out this girl is lying, her name should hit the papers.

Toonsdad, you are a stupid jerk. How many times has a rapist actually been guilty, but gets off in court on lack of evidence.
Ignorance is bliss.
