Attorneys for one of the two suspects accused of raping a 14-year-old girl in a bathroom stall at Rockville High School said the girl texted their client the day before the incident and agreed to have sex with him, according to court papers filed Monday.
The girl also texted “explicitly compromising images of herself” to him, the attorneys asserted in the court filing.
“This was a consensual act. It was preplanned
Still statutory rape isn’t it?
Sounds like a case for Hillary. She actually has been successful at getting rapists acquitted.

I would think so.

I think she had to forfeit her law license, but she sure could provide counsel.
14 year olds, of course, can’t lawfully consent.
That’s the kind of thing an American would know and an Guatemalan wouldn’t.

You're hitting a grey area. You see if the person who has consensual sex with the 14 year old is within a year of her age they will not prosecute. Less then 2 years in age difference they usually will not prosecute. 2-3 years they will not prosecute unless it becomes a big story. Anything else is 50/50 because again it was consensual and she sextexted well in advance.
Most courts are getting to the point that if its consensual sex they're not going to do anything because of the political backlash. After all its a woman's right to choose, even if they're no women yet.
See #8 & #9 FYI.
Makes me wonder if the perps are lying about their age, if they are in fact older than they claim.
Who the Hell consents to have sex in a bathroom stall? Strains credulity. She may have been a tease, but I find it unlikely she wanted to have sex with two boys in the bathroom? Something is wrong here.
Typical defense lie.

My son is a freshman and he told me last week that there was a couple having sex in the boys restroom while he was in there.
This ‘illegal’ sure lawyered up fast. High profile attorney too? I wonder who is paying for it? This is not a court appointed attorney. Does an ‘illegal’ even have the right to an attorney?
I guess I’m a hopeless romantic.
These two POS are being coached by their vile, evil, liberal lawyer scumbag. Now that this case is known to many, the liberal scum will pull out all the stops to protect their perverted view that these “immigrants” are good for the country, even at the expense of a 14 year old rape victim. Liberals are scum.
Tucker Carlson asked the high powered lawyer who was paying him, and the guy refused to say anything other than making a reference that the person was wealthy. S.O.R.O.S. bets?
