"What difference does it make?"

Statutory rape is legally defined as:
“The criminal offense of statutory rape is committed when an adult sexually penetrates a person who, under the law, is incapable of consenting to sex. Minors and physically and mentally incapacitated persons are deemed incapable of consenting to sex under rape statutes in all states. These persons are considered deserving of special protection because they are especially vulnerable due to their youth or condition.”
If you are a male, say age 18 and you have sex with a 14 year old girl, in most states that constitutes statutory rape. In all but three states, the age of consent is 18. That’s where the slang expression ‘jail bait’ came from when referring to a girl under the legal age.
Technically, the same should hold true if both participants are of the same sex, with one being under the legal age of consent. However, in keeping with the tradition of homosexuals demanding preferential treatment, a lesbian in Florida insists her actions were legal.
The defendant in this case is Kaitlyn Hunt. She has been charged with a felony, lewd and lascivious battery on a child for having sexual relations with her 14 year old girlfriend. She claims that the sex was consensual and therefore no crime was committed. Hunt argues that if they were a straight couple, no charges would have been filed, but because they are gay, she was charged with the crime.
Yet, I hear on the news from time to time about a teenage boy being arrested and charged with statutory rape or some other wording of the same crime, for having sex with his underage girlfriend, especially here in Kentucky. If you ask me, that kind of blows Hunt’s argument out of the water.
But she’s not done. Her attorney has also filed a motion to have Circuit Judge Robert Pegg remove himself from the case. Why? It’s because Pegg is not gay. Hunt and her attorney believe that a straight judge will not rule fairly on her case. But what they are really after is to get a gay judge who will rule in her favor. She doesn’t want equal treatment under the law, she wants privileged treatment because she is a homosexual.
I truly hope they find her guilty not because she is a lesbian, but because that is the rule of law.
If they aren’t allowed to molest kids then there won’t be any gays in the future.
Yup.
That, and the right to kill children -- these are the two cornerstones of modern Liberal thinking. It's a culture of death.
"What difference does it make?"
Is this what Todd Aiken was referring to when he used the words “Legitimate Rape”?
If not for that, I would not be here.
I know that a lot of you would celebrate that, but I don't see anything wrong with it.
When considering this story, start from the premise that there is no such thing as ‘gay’…… there is normal and there perverted.
I have always believed that Jerry Sandusky’s homosexuality served as a shield protecting his pedophilia for so many years. If he liked girls, he’d have been exposed decades ago. Bob
Personally, I think the age of consent should be 16. Some people are just gonna do it.
On the assumption that lesbians are capable of sexually penetrating someone (which could be read as strictly male-female genital sex), is there any evidence that she did in fact perform those specific acts which could constitute penetration in her circumstances? That seems like a better angle for the defense to use, to me.
Well, then my great-grandfather and I are both still screwed, unless there is an application of a statute of limitations.
Um, I assume he had permission to marry her? Then there’s no crime. I don’t see why you people with this argument can’t differentiate between “legal” and “illegal”. Would you be this excited about the situation if he’d been sleeping with her for while, sneaking around her parents’ backs?
The evidence shows that the girl was molested in a school bathroom, and again when she was missing from her parents’ house.
Performing lewd acts in the restroom of a public school should result in jail time. Same sex or opposite, of legal age or not, student, teacher, parent, black, white, or rainbow colored.
Anyone have a problem with that?
Yes, but molestation isn’t necessarily penetration. Groping can be molestation as well.

By that standard for getting a judge removed, I’d think the vast majority of the population would be entitled not to have a gay judge sitting for their case.
Ridiculous, of course, in both circumstances.
Um, they had nobody to get permission from. Look up Spanish Flu".
Why do you think they created specially-privileged victim groups? So they can do whatever the hell they danmed well please and we have to shut up about it.
