[quote]Has anyone been following this case at all? I've been catching up.[/quote] Yeah, it made it's way around the Flood a while ago. [quote]What are your thoughts?[/quote] It's a -blam!-ed up situation all around but that ultimately the older girl shouldn't be charged. Even though her most recent actions are facepalmingly stupid. [quote]Is this a clear cut case of statutory -blam!-?[/quote] No. IIRC the relationship started when both were minors and the parents of the younger girl only came forward with a complaint after the older girl turned 18. At which point they went straight to the police rather than communicate with the other parents. [quote]Are they being targeted due to orientation?[/quote] Seemingly yes. I recall a quote where the parents of the younger girl blamed the older for turning their daughter gay. If this was a man of the same age as the older girl and his partner was the same age as the victim would the outcome, charges, and media attention be different?[/quote]
