In Florida, a 54-year old school teacher has sex with a
14-year old female student. The teacher is sentenced to only 30 days in jail.
In rendering his outrageous decision, the judge said of the child rape victim,
that she was far more mature than her chronological age, and that the 14-year
old was just as much in control of the situation as the 54-year old teacher
was.
There was so much outrage over the judge's decision and subsequent
statements, the judge went on TV and apologized.
Even if the sex was 'consensual' a 14-year old cannot
legally consent to have sex with someone older than her by 3 years. The teacher
is guilty of statutory rape, at the very least.
This judge is dangerous! First, he is a potential
misogynist. His ruling and statements encourage other sex-crazed adults to
attempt similar crimes with children. His apology is meaningless. He still
holds his warped and dangerous opinions about any young girl he considers
physically and mentally beyond her years. He sees little, if anything, wrong
with a middle-aged man wanting to have sex with a 14-year old girl.
The judge should be impeached! He should be disbarred, and
possibly charged with child endangerment. He should be publicly ridiculed and
have his reputation ruined.
This Florida judge is another example of why millions of
people are losing, or have already lost, faith in the judicial system. That
fact is the saddest and most dangerous issue of all...
That's my take on it. What do you think?
Good-bye. God bless. Be safe.
