Carrie Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 [quote name='Ora et Labora' date='Sep 14 2005, 02:42 PM']First of all, isnt rape when you are forced through it? It didnt seem like she was. And, she looked like she wanted to get married. But it is really wierd! Only ten years apart, but in this case WAY to young! And if they are married and have a kid......this is hard to figure out. [right][snapback]723121[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Statuatory rape is when a legal adult has a sexual encounter with a minor. Force is not necessary in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 [quote name='Aloysius' date='Sep 14 2005, 01:18 PM'] however, it is not 'rape', though it could be a case of pedophilia/perversion depending on what the intentions of this man were. [right][snapback]723025[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Actually, it IS rape: stauatory rape. And I second what HSmom said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don John of Austria Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 [quote name='Totus Tuus' date='Sep 14 2005, 11:14 AM']Yes, girls have to have "completed their fourteenth year" and boys their sixteenth. [right][snapback]723018[/snapback][/right] [/quote] by the way completing your 14th year means your 14 not 15 as someone said earlier, we do not start counting from 1 but from 0, you are not 1 until you have completed your 1st year.

cmotherofpirl Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 The cultural norm and laws of the United States are the only ones we should be concerned about. A 12 year old girl was raped by a 20 year old man. He was legal adult and his ass should go to jail. Just because he married her after doesn't excuse him raping her. He should go to jail until she turns 18, and is an legal adult herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are alot of misconceptions about rape. For those who think it is ok because they are married: rape can happen within a marriage as well. I know that is a bit off topic, but I thought it should be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
