You beat me to the same response.
Apparently no such thing as “citizens’ arrest” in CA.
Or “castle doctrine.”
He got off lucky.
But there are those who want the same here...
Vancouver BC is in Canada, not California.
But, the response would likely be the same.
This is being a vigilante?
About 15 years ago one of obama’s sons touched my girl’s butt in an italian deli in an italian neighborhood.
The next ten minutes for him were Really Bad.
No cameras then. No one called the police.
Indian “owner” of mob controlled deli just asked me to please leave.
That was that.
Inviting him to her house is the problem...
If he had simply arrived on his own, this would be no problem.
The invitation invalidates everything, and makes you guilty of a few crimes, to boot.
Vigilante justice is still better than no justice at all.
So, it’s legal for a 28 year old to have sex with a 13 year old girl in B.C.? The police sure don’t seem to give a crap about it.
Do they has any of those shows where they lure would be predators into a house and then film them and arrest them in Canada? I don’t know.
It wasn’t that long ago that 13 was the age od consent in all of Canada.
In Italian neighborhoods, child molestation was discouraged and there was no need for the police. Child molesters tended to avoid the neighborhoods. If they made a mistake, they never made it again.
I'm afraid this will turn out badly for the normal people, rather than for this evil predator. It's a shame there wasn't a quieter solution . . .
There was an vanity thread just this weekend about “Citizens Arrest”.
Most FReepers advised that No. Don’t do it. Not a good idea.
This thread shows why that is true.
Frankly if it were me this yob wouldn’t have been findable by the RCMP or anyone else. End of investigation
There is something profoundly amiss is Canada’s legal system.
But it’s ok if the cops do the same thing. She posed as a 13 yr old not as an adult. This guy should be thrown to the grisslies
There were far better ways to handle this then the way they took....heck their way couldn’t even been given a star for mountain justice!
That sure makes it all right
Erma Gawd do you even have a daughter?
I can’t recall the origin or state for the story, but there was a US case where a minor female was “visited” by an “invited” adult male and the father literally beat the tar out of him.
He was not charged.
I realize that such a case will ALSO vary by jurisdiction (AND those who would populate a Grand Jury).
