Can’t go thru life being bullied to do something or not do something that the bully wants. If he wants to go to the Reunion, then go..the other woman MAY NOT EVEN SHOW UP!!!
Her friends may be telling her not to go.
In Alabama the younger sister would have to bring charges, No one else can do it.. As far as a Law Suit? On what grounds? He didn’t do anything to the lady calling. And is that a crime? A 15-16 year old coming on to a 12 year old?
People shouldn’t be afraid or pushed around for something they didn’t do. What if next the lady calls back and says she was molested by him? Maybe the lady was drinking...or Bi-Polar.
Go to the Reunion...he may look guilty by not going.
I'm just sorry that your friend had to be dragged into that. Defriend the woman and not engage her any more.
Stop communicating with the woman.
I am leaving for a long while. The crazy religionists and vanity posts make me wish I was a liberal.
I think he should find a good lawyer immediately. This is simply beyond the pale, I wonder if the woman has a history of this type of online harrassment and extortion/slander attempts???
No loss to us...
That was something I already told my friend.
I only brought this up because I hurt for my friend. I also knew that FR has better legal minds than mine. Heck...we know a little something about EVERYTHING. That’s why I asked.
To ALL: I’ll relay this to my friend. Thank you.
Worst case scenario: Two under age kids, ones talks dirty, but nothing happened.
I’d stop communicating with the “lady.” You can’t prove the negative.
She is obviously unwilling to believe that he is even possibly innocent. She has judged and hung him based on one accusation. Alleged accusation. The guy doesn’t even know that the accusation is real.
I am sure it is very upsetting but I don’t see how it could be proven. Supposedly, he was 16 when he “did” it, anyway, so was a minor himself at the time.
Never talk to the police.
Or anybody elsem, for that matter.
Absolutely nothing he said/typed could have helped him, and probably only hurt him.
Complete dumbass move.
“He says that going to the class reunion is now out of the question, since hes fairly sure the older sister will be there.”
Easy for me to say, but I’d go. I wouldn’t act guilty. If she starts slandering, he’s not there to defend himself.
I agree. Get a lawyer.
“I am leaving for a long while. The crazy religionists and vanity posts make me wish I was a liberal.”
What does this have to do with “crazy religionists?” Because the guy is described as a Christian?
As for vanity posts, if you don’t like them, you can avoid clicking on them.
Eschew Facebook.
That’s funny...I thought you WERE a liberal :)
He has specific incident but not general denial. “He swears there was no rape or intercourse,” but that does not cover touching.
Why did she chat for a time, then accuse?
Could be a number of things, from nothing, to touching, and we will never know.
Does he need a lawyer? Absolutely. What course the lawyer and he decide to take I have no idea, but he does need to see a lawyer to get those answers. Do not depend on a layman's read on SOL matters. There might be other charges and some events can “toll” or suspend the running of the SOL.
WHy anyone in their right mind is involved with facebook or myspace, etc, is beyond me.
Doesn’t sound like there’s any evidence to convict the accused on, so I wouldn’t worry about a criminal or civil charge. If the accused is entirely innocent but is concerned about the opinions of other people that the accuser might tell, I would see if this young woman has a church pastor that you might involve. See if she can make the accusation in front of G_d so to speak, or if she wishes to recant.
For what he MIGHT have done?
