Lesbian woman demands double standard when she has sex with 15-year-old

Yet another homophobic rant about the imaginary 'gay agenda'

Some people see the word 'gay' and just assume the word 'agenda' is hidden behind it.

This thread is about an 18 year old girl who broke the law, her mom- who I don't think is a homosexual- doing what she can to protect her child- including saying it is because of anti-homosexual bigotry- which it may- or may not be.

There are some people who think Florida's law is too harsh, but it is the law there. The Prosecutor has huge amounts of discretion to prosecute and has offered a deal which is much less than what they could charge, but what I still consider 'harsh' for the circumstances- and I see now that she has refused the deal.

I think that this is a stupid gamble.

 

It probably seems like it doesn't it? I slip in and out of consciousness and have my moments of lucidity. My problem is the stew of medications keeping me alive.

Now you know my secret. Don't tell anyone or I will get mad at you.

 

Come on man, wise up. Its happend thousands of times.

 

So far, only accusations, not links.

 

Well Iam not going to give you his name, but it happend to a person I know pretty well.
And most of us that dont live under rocks know someone or have read about it happening to.

 

What sort of 'perspective' is that? Equality under the law demands an adult be treated like an adult, if we as a society have chosen 18 years of age to be an adult, then an 18 year old needs to be treated as an adult. Anything less is a disgusting agenda driven miscarriage of justice and a slap in the face to our entire legal system...

 

An 18 y/o can be subject tot he Romeo and Juliet law in Florida, a 21 y/o is not. Wake up and realize that we treat an 18 y/o differently.

 

Cite case law or statute please.

 

No problem, it was covered in Post #332

But if you are too lazy to click on the link, here ya go:

 

Lazy? Yea, but there are a lot of "ifs" and qualifiers involved.
And no judge or prosecutor is going to go on the low side of the punitive scale and risk looking soft on crime.
Good luck with that.

 

A 21 y/o is not eligible period for the Romeo and Juliet law while an 18 y/o is.

Proof that we do indeed treat an 18 y/o differently than a 21 y/o.

Baseless speculation.

 

Enough time in courts to know. Call it baseless if you want.
It also has much to do with the victims parents and obviously the parents of this vic are pushing.
So there must have been some animosity previous that none of us know of.
I have no sympathy for this woman.

 

I am friends with several social workers who deal with these kinds of situations on a fairly regular basis. According to both of them, the overwhelming majority of the time, situations like this are resolved without involving charges, even though technically the law is (or was) being violated.

 

Its "I wanna be a grown up", until something happens I can hide behind mommy's apron and say Iam just a kid.

 

And this, my friends, is why sex laws need some serious reforming.

The reality of the matter is that high school kids have sex with each other. Some high school seniors turn 18 before graduating. To treat an 18 year old having sex with a 15 year old the same as you would a 40 year old with a 15 year old is just retarded.

Then again, this is Florida.

 

As you see in post 385, if you looked, we do not treat them the same. Further, the girl was offered a pretty good deal, and rejected it this afternoon. I am down here, so I hear this every day on the radio while working. The girl and her parents seem to think she deserves special treatment because it was girl-girl. I see no fault with the state, or its laws, here.

 

I see the whole contradictory issues here, if she was a boy instead of a girl the boy would be treated differently and the law should be impartial...the problem here as I see it is the inflexibility of laws, when making laws we can't foresee every exception and we target more people than the law intends...the solution would seem to me allow the judges more leeway for interpretation as to the spirit of the law, but that opens a whole new can of worms...it's a very difficult situation

 

probation, no criminal record(conditional) and no contact with the other girl until she is of legal age...the law has good intentions but it casts to big a net...

 

This is a blue print of what bad laws look like in our judicial system.

Forget gay/straight male/female...there is NO reason why these horribly instituted laws should clog up our judicial system.

 

Why don't you offer an analysis of what the customary sentence has been with such age separation, male to female ?

I already stated my opinion did I not ?

 

There's plenty of flexibility, but it does not, and should not, go to sex. Rather, as per the Romeo and Juliette Statute, it allows enormous flexibility for all other reasons !

 

That is complete bull(*)(*)(*)(*). If an 18 year old boy snags a blow job from a 14 year old girl, then penetrates her, would the law that prosecutes him be a "bad law" ? If it were your sister or daughter ?
