Good OP; curious discussion that follows.

It appears to me that emotions keep some of our friends here from processing what they are reading. Likewise, I think that parental instincts & emotions have led to the parents of the young lady saying some things that are inaccurate. If they were purposefully lying to begin with is, I think, another question. Parents lie to themselves unintentionally on a rather frequent basis, especially when their children are confronted with trouble.

However, because they continue to report inaccurate/wrong information, it seems evident that they are now purposefully lying. This may be for a combination of reasons: to gather support for their daughter, and to avoid admitting that previous statements were wrong.

The law draws lines onenote May 2013 #14

Yes. I don't think a felony charge is warranted at all in this case, but there is generally a whathehell May 2013 #101

This is true. 18 year olds can vote and sign up to join the military. MADem May 2013 #129

She can not legally consent. LisaL May 2013 #29

The law says she can't consent, but she did. backscatter712 May 2013 #66

No...the point is that she cannot consent. nt msanthrope May 2013 #86

So if a 50 year old man had sex with a 14 year old girl, it would be ok if she consented? Travis_0004 May 2013 #102

I'm just asking for a sanity check here. napoleon_in_rags May 2013 #84

Something smells off about this "Story" you've posted. AverageJoe90 May 2013 #5

there is no story. It's the fucking affadavit. cali May 2013 #11

An affadavit is the "victims" side of the story krawhitham May 2013 #32

are actually suggesting that the dob of Kaitlyn is made up by the cops? cali May 2013 #35

DOB is not what is in doubt krawhitham May 2013 #108

Did you even read it? lunamagica May 2013 #36

I did, you did not or did not understand krawhitham May 2013 #107

Wow! 18 and 3 months blueamy66 May 2013 #7

yes, it makes a big difference cali May 2013 #12

The "3 months" doesn't matter to me. blueamy66 May 2013 #21

Just because you think some law is BS, doesn't mean you can then just ignore it and do as you LisaL May 2013 #77

I didn't. But friend did. Thank God your police didn't intervene blueamy66 May 2013 #97

Well, after thinking about it, yes I can blueamy66 May 2013 #98

I dont think he said to ignore it. I think he's just making an opinion on it davidn3600 May 2013 #99

Well, the law IS the law, unrealistic or not. WinkyDink May 2013 #92

I think it is a disagreement as to what dating means. You are measuring it by their first sexual stevenleser May 2013 #9

I'll second that. Democracyinkind May 2013 #10

you didn't read the affadavit. According to HUNT they started dating in November cali May 2013 #13

I think it is still unclear. They were good friends a long time before that. Do you always draw such stevenleser May 2013 #15

could you post a link to something (other than her parents or her) cali May 2013 #17

Aren't they a little far in age to have been friends for that long? dkf May 2013 #63

The 18 yr. old might have been her babysitter loyalsister May 2013 #110

Yikes. That would be the worst possibility. dkf May 2013 #111

No doubt loyalsister May 2013 #112

where do you get that from? magical thyme May 2013 #80

Then the oft repeated 'they were peers in high school' line goes out the window. AtheistCrusader May 2013 #113

To be fair shawn703 May 2013 #114

Fair enough. AtheistCrusader May 2013 #115

I would think the opposite is true. If they were friends for a long time they are definitely peers stevenleser May 2013 #128

Depends on what one considers the start of a relationship davidn3600 May 2013 #18

The affidavit does not identify when Hunt said they started dating Ms. Toad May 2013 #70

It doesn't matter when they started dating. Dating is not illegal if there is no sex involved. LisaL May 2013 #90

That is not the issue in this particular subthread. n/t Ms. Toad May 2013 #93

actually....you messed up the details. roughrider101 May 2013 #106

No. You are misreading it. Ms. Toad May 2013 #109

She is also basing this on a comment Kaitlyn's father made. Her mother has it all laid ScreamingMeemie May 2013 #53

yup. I've read the same in a couple places now. magical thyme May 2013 #16

Definitely statutory rape. A 14-year old cannot meaningfully "consent" to sex with an adult. Nye Bevan May 2013 #19

I disagree that a 14 year old cannot meaningfully consent to sex with an 18 year old cali May 2013 #20

Well, at least we both agree that it is a crime, and that is the main thing (nt) Nye Bevan May 2013 #26

"Statutory rape" is the most ridiculous fucking frame for this "crime". backscatter712 May 2013 #65

statuatory rape is all about age of consent. it has nothing to do with force. magical thyme May 2013 #69

Saying "she wasn't violently asssulted" or "where's the force and coercion" Nye Bevan May 2013 #75

this is the parents of the other girl dsc May 2013 #22

WTF are you talking about? LisaL May 2013 #30

the affadavit is what the parents of the other girl told police dsc May 2013 #31

Kaitlyn's mother didn't lie. The ages have always been posted in the "about" section of the facebook ScreamingMeemie May 2013 #50

At the beginning of the school year Kaitlyn was 18. she turned 18 on August 14th. cali May 2013 #52

Her mother didn't lie, cali. And she didn't say she was 17 at the beginning of the school year. ScreamingMeemie May 2013 #54

her father certainly lied. Here: cali May 2013 #58

agreed, exactly. magical thyme May 2013 #64

The problem for you straights is that you are highly selective in your fury Bluenorthwest May 2013 #71

I am sorry, but do you not realize that 17 is above the age of consent, while 14 is below? LisaL May 2013 #73

You might want to spend some time in the statutes... Ms. Toad May 2013 #74

Excuse me. 39 year old dating 17 year old would be legal in all states (as long as it didn't involve LisaL May 2013 #76

I suggest you go back and read the thread. Ms. Toad May 2013 #122

IN post 74 you appear to assume the relationship was sexual. AtheistCrusader May 2013 #124

There is really no point in raising Ms. Toad May 2013 #125
