I certainly agree with this. Of course, a statement made about the vulnerability of a 16 year old female would refer to her being under threat and a captive. Threat of terrible things. It would NOT be a relationship of consent. This should clarify what I had previously posted.
However
When the BF kills Mom and the siblings, the GF is often behind the crime. Just as when a divorceé is murdered, it makes sense to check out the ex-husband, this type of crime often is more Juliet than Romeo.
Now all we need to do is sit back and wait for Hannah Anderson to make a book deal, license a movie on Lifetime, and to see her ‘ripped from the headlines’ story show up on ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”
Her 15 minutes are just getting started.
Dang. If Obama would have had an older, murdering thug, kidnapping son, he would have looked like this guy.
“No 16 year old girl has control of a grown man. Ever.”
This is from Wiki about Doug Hutchison who married the 16yo girl:
“Though Berman (a marriage counselor) was eventually surprised by the dynamic between the two, she commented on her initial hesitations about working with the couple, saying, “I believe it was the wrong decision to let a 16-year-old marry a man in his 50s. It’s uncomfortable to see… [at first] I said to my producer, ‘I think this guy is a pedophile…I don’t know if I can work with these people.’ I don’t condone it, but I do see that this is a married couple that is genuinely married and they have marital issues that needed to be worked on. I came in saying, ‘She’s a victim, he’s a predator.’ What I found out was that she has a lot more power in this relationship, and he is far more powerless, than I expected. His family has completely disowned him… He, unfortunately, has nothing besides her.” Hutchison was also defended by Stodden’s mother, Krista Keller, who praised him for the kindness and love with which he treats Stodden.”
Thanks for the timely link.
The second paragraph appears to exonerate Hannah of any complicity. She was held under duress. We are indebted to the law officer for his statement.
