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 find it kind of sad that the younger teens parents are flat out lying and nobody is calling them on it. [quote]"We had no other alternative but to turn to the law, use it basically as a last resort," the victim's father, Jim Smith, had previously told CNN affiliate WPEC.[/quote] but from what we know they went straight to police after the older teen turned 18 without mentioning anything to the older teen or her parents. last resort my ass they targeted her because they are bigots and do not deserve children.
