ACLU of Florida Statement on Prosecution of 18-Year-Old Kaitlyn Hunt

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Kaitlyn turned 18 in September. If you go to the FreeKate.net page the story is laid out.

Her mother also gave an interview on the radio.

It is true that Kaitlyn and her girlfriend met when Kaitlyn was just 17. The relationship started in earnest when Kaitlyn turned 18. The chargers were filed when Kaitlyn was 18 and the daughter was 15. Sorry for the misinterpretation.

The parents of both girls, as stated by Kaitlyn's mother in interviews, were aware of this relationship.

I cannot remember asking anyone I was in high school with for proof of their age before I dated them.

The police did not have a but placed on Kaitlyn's phone. The recorded a phone conversation from the daughter's house, with that girl's parents wherein the unnamed girlfriend asked Kaitlyn if she really cared for her. Kaitlyn affirmed that and then they discussed their relationship in detail. The arrest was made the next day.

The daughter has asked her parents not to press charges. The daughter does not support the charges and admits it was consensual.

For added information, the daughter ran away from home in January and called Kaitlyn to come and pick her up. This is when one of the incidents occurred.

It is apparent that this poor kid doesn't have much of a home life.


The window of opportunity being that they had to press charges before their daughter turned 16, because then it would be okay for her to date a 24 year old if she wanted to.
