Related: About this forumUtah man justifies child molestation: ‘The Bible did not set limits on the ages between two partners
A Utah man who has admitted to child molestation said the Bible allowed him to do so.
Timothy Butler, 54, is accused of molesting two children and providing them harmful materials between 2008 and 2011, Good4Utah reports. One of the alleged victims was a then-5-year-old girl.
According to the Standard Examiner, Butler allegedly watched pornography with the child present. His charges include two counts of sodomy of a child and two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, which are felonies. He also faces charges of drug possession.
Butler told the judge that the Bible did not set limits on the ages between two partners, and that God will set the truth free.

Doesn't partnership require some semblance of equality?
