This monkey,KingFong, has gone bananas.
Maybe it's like sex: legal between consenting adults, but you can't pay for it, or it's illegal!
Which leads me to my next question--Did they commit a crime by being in the house?
Yes, technically. If alcohol was being served to underage drinkers, then anyone there is "contributing to the delinquency of a minor", etc.
No kidding?? So my college age daughter who doesn't drink is committing a crime by being at a party where anyone underage is drinking?
A rational white man would scream at the sight of her, on the street.
Not all the boys were even at this party. Some of them *may* have been stupid. Some of them may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some of them weren't even there.
And because of this infraction alone, IF THEY ARE PROVEN TO HAVE BEEN PRESENT, then they have violated the law. A minor violation, certainly not a felony, but the law was broken by having alcohol in the presence of minors. All that aside, I think the DA using that as an extortion against the guys as an attempt to get information, is unethical and immoral.
hiring those fugly strippers should be illegal.
I don't pretend to know all the laws in all the states, but I would think she is taking a chance.
Can that be?--I have alcohol in my home and I have kids. How can they charge anyone but the three captains (who lease the house) with serving?
OMG - I've been having illegal sex with my wife of 20 years and 2 kids to prove it.
True--just speaking generalities. The point being regardless of who was at the party, who drank, who hired the stripper--it happens with boys regardless of how we raise them.
You ask a very interesting question. Have you ever noticed that individuals are often charged and convicted for having porn on their computers but NEVER do you hear of the porn sites who sell the porn being charged?
The sellers have big $ to fight any charges. The individuals do not so that the prosecutors stay away from the sellers.
It's always about $ or lack thereof.
Let me get this straight...Does this hold true for a parent drinking in front of a minor child?
I guess I am asking unless they did a blood alcohol level on them, they cannot prove the minors had been drinking (unless someone told). Sure, it is a valid assumption, but would that assumption carry weight in court? If one of them was of age and there is no LEGAL proof the others were drinking, it is still an infraction?
Hopefully a lot of young guys will learn a lesson.
I agree with you 100% I guess in my roundabout way, I was trying to say apples and oranges, LOL!
Uh Oh . I think I've been contributing to the delinquency of minors for years!
Good point. It seems like an empty threat if no proof of underage drinking exists... but we don't know what the three captains who live there admitted in their statements of Mar. 14.
