What I wonder is if it wasn't also rape.

What ever happened to coming to the forum with an attitude of respect?

Well, it
could have been phrased differently. Here's the thing, though:
Based on absolutely nothing, you called the guy a pedophile and basically said his death was deserved. That's
really harsh. Neither article mentioned anything about statutory rape, or that it was anything illegal- you made that leap yourself. In the state where it happened, it was a perfectly legal act between what the state recognizes as two consenting adults. Not to mention that pedophilia defined as an attraction to prepubescent children- which a 17 year old most certainly is not.
So next time you wanna go calling people pedophiles and wishing death on them, you might want to make sure you're right before tossing accusations. Because I, for one, get offended when people accuse people of stuff or slander people for no reason, based on nothing... and that's what you have done here.
To all:
And speaking of respect, how about we tone down the crass commentary a bit? It wouldn't be funny if the girl was your sister, or daughter, or if the guy was your brother, or son. Mistakes happen. You wanna get in your little comments, that's one thing, but these "i hope it was a gas" little jabs just aren't necessary, are they?
