re: #149 Unshaken Defiance

*jaw hanging open* Angry words withheld. That’s the kind of thing that can touch off a violent act. Because there is one terrible way to end the rapists um, ugh… “rights”.

Ah but the state now has an interest in this reading of the law. Dollars and pride. The Prosecutors lied about consent? That should be full stop, fruit of poisoned tree kinda thing. Wrong on so many many levels, we can not count on laws we normally expect to fix this.

The victim was TWELVE when this happened. TWELVE. Under no state law would she have been able to consent to sex. So there’s no lying about consent, there can be no legal consent from a TWELVE YEAR OLD.

Grrrrr.
