They 17yo lied and that is a problem. Some are insisting that this is statutory rape and the old pervert should be tried. Seriously though, he was lied too about that. If he should be charged with anything it should be some kind of luod act in public charge.
Anyway, this story makes me a little sick. If it was a Republican it would be all over the news and people would be calling for resignations and jail time. That double standard is infuriating.
Have so soon forgotten Sen. Larry Craig and his foot tapping in a public rest room in an airport trolling for sex in the stalls??????????????
He now by the way says what he was doing in that rest room was offical business and the charges against him should be expunged from his record.
I was referring to the "Honorable" Mr. Gauthier.
And stories have said that the Minn. age of consent is 16. If that's true, it's moot whether the kid lied or not.
