Re: Matt Deatherage (was Very Sad, but...)

:I think every one reading this stuff needs to remember that a plea of no
:contest does not mean that the individual is guilty, regardless of what that
:individual may admit to in private.  I am probably as disappointed as any one
:else here to find out this information about Mr. Deatherage, but whatever his
:crimes may have been he will get his day in court and will have to live with
:people believing he is guilty whether or not he actually is.

This is another Michael Jackson case clone.... 

I would like to point out, though, that a 14 year old boy DOES know the meaning
of the word NO.  If he didn't want the sex, this would never have happened!  He
CONSENTED to the sex!!!  If I was gay at 14 years old and I wanted to have sex,
I would probably say yes...  Even though I am not gay, I am hearing people
say '14 year olds aren't old enough to consent to sex.'  Well, excuse me, when I
was 14, if I wanted to have sex, I would go ahead and do it (using a condom of course!).  Both Matt and the 14-year old are to blame.  And if the 14 year od
wanted the sex, he should actually try to help Matt out of this!
