The park they talk about is about a stone's throw away from my house... Figures though... Our only registered sex offender died of a heart attack last week...

uh...why would a 19 year old go after a 12 year old girl? Usually, pedophiles are creepy old guys who have no chance with younger women, but if you're 19, then why not go for someone your own age?

Ha. If only this had happened the week of "The Pirates of Penzance" so you could all see me dressed up as a British cop. :D

This guy really timed his stalking of twelve-year-old girls very poorly....

'ello 'ello 'ello ;)

I wish I had some kind of answer for this, but I don't. The wierd bit is, looking at him, he doesn't strike me as the type who would have trouble getting girlfriends of his own age. Maybe it's a dominance or power thing. Either way, I would have said he needed help if he hadn't attacked someone, as it is, he needs locking up for a long long time.

Am I misunserstanging the article, because it says the sex was consentual. Yes, a 12 year old is not really ready to make those sorts of decisions yet, but its still not as bad as rape. In some countries, the age of consent is 14, which means she wasn't that far below what could be considered the maturity standard.

now sit back and watch as someone completely twists my words to mean advocating sex with 3 year olds.

Yeah, true, people like that tend to give out a bad 'vibe' that people can pick up on :(

I know what you mean Rictor, I've had this debate about consentual underage sex with 2 gays (the conversation ok? ;) ) , it was incredibly interesting. Bush would have had a furball ;)

I suppose the problem for me is determining whether the consent was an 'educated' consent or a need to flatter an older man who seemed attracted to her.

Yeah, I'm a little shaky on that part, myself.

You realize it could have been a female officer right? The question is, how does a 19+ year old female cop pull of imitating a 12-year old girl.

That was sort of what I was aiming at. A guy would have earned a huge wtf smilie from me.

Her voice still would've been too deep for a twelve-year-old. Well this gives you an idea of what strange folk we are in ol' G-Town.

Maybe playing too much dating sim games or watching cute girl anime?

Pedophilia doesn't "arrive" at old age.

In some states there are laws that make for considerably less punishment for cases where age is the only factor making sex non-consentual.
For example in my state if a child under 18 has sex and the only thing keeping the child from consenting is age then it is not rape as long as the older person is within 3 years of the child (It is possible for both parties to be charged with delinquency, but that's a fairly minor crime).

A law like that wouldn't affect this case (ages too far apart), but I think in this case it's an adult taking advantage of a child and the punishment for rape is appropriate.
