Has anyone been following this case at all? I've been catching up.
What are your thoughts?
Is this a clear cut case of statutory -blam!-?
Are they being targeted due to orientation?
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?

I feel like they're overreacting a little. They always need to judge the "-blam!-" cases based upon intent and how the parties felt at the time. 14 is still pretty young though. Even when I was 18, that would have been way too young for me.
