yes, seems some people were forgetting her age in this matter...

Yes. She isn't of age to give consent

that is actually incorrect, particulary in md, the victim must be under 14 and there is at least a 4 year age difference

It makes me sick seeibg people say get over it or saying a child can give consent

Maryland statutory rape clause

Statutory Rape

Maryland has several different laws that criminalize engaging in sexual behavior with a child. First, a person commits the crime of second degree rape, the most serious statutory rape offense in Maryland, by engaging in sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 14 when the defendant is at least four years older. (Md. Ann. [Crim.] Code §§ 3-304, 3-310.)

A person who engages in a sexual act (oral and **** sex and genital penetration) with a child under the age of 14 when the defendant at least four years older than the victim commits the crime of sexual offense in the second degree in Maryland. (Md. Ann. [Crim.] Code §§ 3-301, 3-306, 3-312.)

Finally, a person commits the crime of third degree sexual offense, the least serious statutory rape charge, by:
engaging in intercourse or a sexual act with a child age 14 or 15 when the defendant is over the age of 21, or
engaging in sexual contact (genital touching short of penetration) with a child under the age of 14 when the defendant is at least four years older than the child.
(Md. Ann. [Crim.] Code §§ 3-301, 3-307.)


young people sleep with young people, it is a fact of life

rape is non consentual and is sick,, but we do allow for the facts that as far as 'consent' goes,, young people give 'consent' to each other on the same emotional level , where there is noone taking advantage since they are all not yet emotionally mature


our courts would be plugged with statutory rape cases otherwise, because high schoolers ranging between 14-18 are having sex in large numbers in this country

Depends on the state

So I have seen you defend underage murders because their brains hasn't developed but rape is ok? Can't be both. If a killer isn't responsible thwn an underage statutory rape victim can't guve consent

thats true,,,


in MD, where this happened, it would not be prosecuted as statutory rape

Another difference is the victim said she was brutally raped....doean't even sound consensual even under that statutory law

I am an active advocate of DV and rape. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt

I didn't defend anything, I posted the law


I also posted that not all sex equates to the terror of 'rape'(of which I have actually been victim to) merely due to ones age

and the laws , thankfully, recognize that fact

and yes, if we are talking about age , underage in terms of brain development doesnt change with the charge


an underage participant, may not be able to give 'consent' by legal standards, but that doesnt raise to them therefore having been 'raped'

Whatever, the bottom line is that they charged the two illegals with rape, so there must be enough evidence to pursue the rape charge...

that is an assumption if the guy was not let out early he would not of attacked --- so parole was a factor obliviously the board screwed up

---parole should be done away with criminas get off too easy as it is
they should at least have to serve their full term especially if convicted of a violent crime

emancipation-- depends on why he received it -- a lot try for it just
so they have no one to answer too -- if he had someone to answer too
and had to be elsewhere at the time of the attack the the attack would
not of happened family court appears to have dropped the ball on this
one


sorry for your misfortune hopefully nothing like that happens again

be well

ABC, NBC,CBS,CNN,and MSNBC. Still have not reported the story.

It all comes down to a person perspective. Some ( a very very small amount) people think it o.k. for 14 year olds to be having sex.. because after all.. they consented to it. Totally by passing the whole...child Mom.. school drop out.. welfare addition thing.

what can you say?.. other then there are some really weird people out there with warpped values... right?

yes there is

those who think that when two high schoolers have sex, one should be a victim of the other,,,

or that it should rise to a level of them being labeled criminal their whole lives

As I said before, this isn't even about age or consent regardless of state law. This is rape
