His weiner should be made into schnitzel.

If such punishment were common it might no longer be deemed "unusual".

As for the "cruel" Constitutional prohibition....ask the victim!

Pennsylvania Ping!

Please ping me with articles of interest.

FReepmail me to be added to the list.

Well, he was out to get screwed...so...

He probably didn’t realize, because of his cultural background, that it was wrong. sarc

When I read “German man” I didn’t think his name would be Erik Weidling.

You gotta wonder what part the girl had in setting the thing up. He didn’t just get up one morning and say to himself I’m goin to Lancaster in the USA to have underaged sex with a 15 year old girl that I’m going to pick at random. And although the girl was below the age of consent that didn’t mean she didn’t willingly play a part. There was something like this that went on around here back a number of years ago where a 12 yo girl decided that she wanted to get laid and set up a series of “meetings” with a 23 yo dumbass who was caught by her parents hiding in her closet. Far as I know he’s still in jail, and the county sheriff said the girl set up the whole thing, and he wanted to charge her with something else, but she was too young to charge with any crime.

In PA, a minor under 13 can't legally consent to anything. From 13-15 they can only consent to sex with someone not more than four years older than they are. Legally, 16 is the age of consent, but because of the corruption of minors statute, anyone over 18 having sex with a minor could be charged with that. This guy came to the wrong state.

The only mitigating factor is he is relatively close to her in age. If he were 17 I might think it’s just a relationship, but at 20 he knows she’s too young a kid at 15.

He probably thought that the age of consent is 15 in Germany and most of Europe, and that it was the same here. He thought wrong.

[birdsman]

But what if he identifies as a 15 year old boy? If we are whatever gender we identify as then can’t we be whatever age we identify as? Then it’s not rape.

Sooner or later I expect some pedophile to use that as his defense.

Another person who needs to change his name to “ Hunter Biden.”

[cherry]

just quite with the victim bashing....its all moot...

[Secret Agent Man]

Age of consent in Germany is 15. Wonder if he didn’t know it was different here.

How very democrat of you to try to suppress a viewpoint you don’t like.

Luckily I’ve never had a need for “companionship” so powerful that it caused me to do anything that could get me 10 years...or 10 minutes...in prison.

[Gay State Conservative]

If he had come to Massachusetts...and the kid was a boy...our filthy bull dyke Governor would have given him the keys to the state.

It doesn't matter when he just took off to find a 15 year old girl at random or searched for months before finding his target. He knew what he was doing.

And I don't need to wonder what she did, because no matter what part she played it doesn't make it less of a crime on his part.

And although the girl was below the age of consent that didn’t mean she didn’t willingly play a part.

Children and teens do stupid things. That doesn't give adults the right to take advantage of them.
