Yes, and FCC regs if a cell phone was used at any time or comupter, her age is the issue, the most likely out come is Statutory Rape by an Authority figure. But I doubt the Feds become involved, and State law is always to lenient on Statutory Rape.
H*** Tennessee can’t even get a 8 yr old’s rapist/killer going on 22 yrs on DR DNA proof, Confession, ALL APPEALS finished executed. Our RINO GOV just passes the buck, says Dept of Corrections has to set the date, DUH, he appoints the IDIOT, as well as the Head of the Parole Board, who has not changed in 23 yrs that I know of.
