    Boy, I didn't take it that way at all. He sounds nervous, panicked, everything we all would be in that situation. He knows that no matter what happens from here on out, his son will always be known by many people as that kid who raped a girl. No need to cite previous precedents to know that isn't necessarily the case.

    That's why the NFL is so mediocre.
     
  5. Mark Grace would encourage Wittels to hit a slumpbuster.

    legal age of consent means you could just rape anyone? are you thinking statutory rape? all i read was rape, which sounds like the girls did not consent.

    1) Innocent until, etc.

    2) Maybe you're new here. In our country, we sentence the convicted to time in confined space, with limited privileges. We don't sentence anyone to anal rape. Indeed, that any amount goes on under the eyes of the state is a national shame. Attitudes like yours don't help. Though if you're excited at the prospect of handsome, long-haired men "getting fucked," I've heard there are websites where you'll find that.

    Yes. I must have missed a few words in the original story and thought it was statutory rape.

    Amen. An all-too-common flippant remark used around here and in real life.
