Her own accord is debatable given her age. I thought she said it was a date rape drug because she remembered nothing and a friend told her what happened. Did she ever say what beverage or how much of it left her so incapable of any memory? He should have been charged for his behavior with an underage girl, if nothing else as an example of the results of misbehavior.
He was born in May of 1990, she was born in October of 1990. The pregnancy was announced in August and she was five months pregnant. They were both seventeen, drunk, and stupid. At any rate statutory rape in Alaska is one over 18 with another 16 or younger.
So what exactly would you like the then 17 year old charged with?
Especially since the whole family actually talked him up and took him on the campaign trail.
If you wanted to charge the adults with not knowing where their children were when the kids were out drinking and having sex, all underage, at least that makes a tiny bit of sense.
Otherwise, two seventeen year olds drinking and partying are each equally irresponsible.
Though, he’s married and has a family now, whereas she’s perpetually breaking off engagements. She’s had three more since the first. If anything, on the surface, he’s the more responsible of the two.
