These girls knew what they were doing, they're not dumb. Let's be real, these 17 will now be all over the airwaves, late night talk shows and will eventually get their own reality show-"17 and 17 make 34", or some other catchy ******* name and everyone will watch. They're not the stupid ones......
 
You know that homeless guy was bragging to all his friends. "You'll never guess what happened to me last night!"
 
Think about this... What about the guys who got duped in this? How many of us have slept with a girl we met at a club that we were certain was 19-20 and she turned out to be underage? Especially if she was as forward as these girls no doubt were... talking guys into sex isn't hard...

And to think they will be up on Statutory charges for it... That is so lame in my eyes. It's not like the guys were begging the girls to have sex, it was the other way around...

I hate the Statutory Rape laws... it doesn't take things into consideration at all, sometimes it is great and puts away creeps... but sometimes.. not so much.
 
Here in Florida the statutory rape charges are relatively flexible. If the minor is over 16 and the adult is under 25 (I believe those are the correct ages, I can double check when I'm at internship again) then it is okay. Of course there is some difficulty when the person is over 25 and its not inconceivable that a 17 year old may pretedn to be older and get someone over 25.

Also with statutory rape there usually has to be something to instigate it. At my internship site I work with children who are abused and they do forensic interviews there as well. One time there was a case of a mother alleging statutory rape, the girl denied she ever had sex with the guy and since there was no real evidence the case was closed. So in an instance like this unless the girls press charges or something then the men should be fine. Of course it's hard to tell what these girls will do.

At any rate statutory rape laws may have their flaws, but trust me they are much better to have than to not. I've seen plenty of cases where men are manipulating young girls (like 13 and such) into sexual relationships.
 
I understand... it is a necessary evil. When I was younger, it was scarier. I got duped a few times and had that hung over my head, Dad's trying to put me in jail for dating his daughter... :banghead

But as you said, it does protect a lot of young girls from being abused... and that is worth it.

At least it is flexible in FL, I have heard some states are very strict. They don't care what the story is.
 
...

Now you've got idiots out there blaming the movies "Juno" and "Knocked Up."

These girls know what they're doing and they're making a massive mistake.

Just a shame...

You were listening to 92.3 KTAR too, huh? This story was the subject of the afternoon drive.
 
I just watched Maury a couple of days ago (I'm on Summer Break and its the only thing on when I wake up, :lol) where there were 7 14 year olds who were set on getting pregnant. Some of them were having sex multiple times per day, one was saying how she'd dress as sexy as she could then go wait outside of clubs and wait for drunk guys to come out. One claimed that she would just start offering to random guys while waiting for the bus. One claimed that she would go out into the woods near her house and offer it out to whoever was around.

What is scary is these are 7th and 8th graders. Being a Junior High School teacher its definitely something that is troublesome especially when you know how serious they take their relationships, every day is like Young and the Restless, but the bigger issue is that more education is needed to keep kids safe at least but in the conservative culture that is around (and it has nothing to do with who is in office because even in the Clinton days the culture still wouldn't allow for further, more extensive education) people are more comfortable putting their heads in the sand then dealing with the issue up front.
 
This is just dumb in so many ways, I can't even articulate the words. And of course the media would blame popular culture for this situation, which is idiotic.

The truth is that our society is dumbing itself down a bit, not to mention that kids get more influence from other people than their parents these days.. with so much available at their fingertips... cell phones and the internet...

It's one thing to blame the parents, but this is bigger than that... it's not just the failure of the parents, these kids are 17. They should know better. School, parents example and LIFE itself should have taught these girls to know better. If they were 13 or 14... I would change my tune... but they are old enough to know better.

It's just a sad indicator of where we are headed as a society, babies are accessories... nobody reads, kids walk around the mall with their bluetooth headsets, talking to themselves.... 13 yr olds haunting Starbucks.. It's sad. Every day I have to go out there and be a part of it all, I get a sick feeling in my gut. We are so screwed as a people. :banghead


And how many of them have or have held hard working jobs? When I was 14 up until I graduated, my parents made sure me and my sister were to busy studying AND working to get in this sort of trouble. Seems like majority of parent today think a job is optional for their kids, which further engrains that entitlement mentality seen today in so much of the youth.
 
Yeah, I think all laws have to be considered in context. Which can create issues in and of itself when a judge or jury puts someone away for taking a strict view of the law where a creep gets off by a judge or jury who has a very loose view.

I so agree with you there man. My parents made me work as soon as I was able, the allowance stopped and I had to pull in a paycheck. They got me a car when I was old enough, but I had to pay for the insurance... and if I didn't graduate, they would take it away.

I was way to busy working and doing my school work.. not to mention just relaxing with my buddies.. to do that kind of crazy crap. Worst I ever did was smoke a J and watch movies. :lol

A job isn't the answer. Kids are going to find ways to do what they want. There is a laundry list of reasons why kids will try to quickly get into sexual experiences from exposure to early in their developmental years to wanting to replace voids in their own lives to just wanting to see what the hell is the big deal.

I remember being in 6th grade and hearing about people having sex, calling bull^^^^, only to hear from eye witnesses at a party that the couple put on a live show to prove themselves. I remember having options to have sex in 8th grade but being too scared of getting the girl pregnant to try and I remember a ton of friends whose "gloves were off" in 9th grade in terms of sex. most of them had jobs. The thing is 14 year old, at least in my area, can only work 4 hours a day....that leaves plenty of time for other things if you are actively looking for it.

I'll never forget a friend of mine, Monica, who got pregnant in the first month of our 9th grade year. I also remember her three year old at Graduation and the fight she had to put up to return to regular school and not be forced to go to the continuation school.

This isn't a new issue its just getting the attention now. Many people just put their hands to their ears when they hear about these issues as young as eleven but as a teacher you hear about them all from colleagues, just a couple of weeks ago a 6th grade girl was suspended for servicing a boy behind the gym. Unfortunately that is reality.
