The article is poorly written I think. I had to read it several times to understand it’s meaning.

[Steely Tom]

Are you on the right thread?

Yup.

[Safetgiver]

You are right. I ALWAYS go into a private bathroom with a knife in my hand.(sarc)

Regardless of what you or I think about this, the COUPLE BELONG IN JAIL

Walking around a house with no pants and a knife?.....Doesn’t everybody? Sometimes a gun. Sometimes a hand grenade. Isn’t anybody normal, anymore?

iirc the party was in HER HOUSE... and if he was drinking, and she knew it, well... and the little sh!t doesn't look like he's all there anyway, which, if it happens to be the case, even more trouble for her

lotta stooopid to go round on this one i think

"Maybe too drunk and pulling a stunt that backfired. (guess I’m an old softy)."

I think he is the one that is a softy. If he was drunk, then how can he rape? wouldn't he be kinda sorta ahem limp?

ok, ok, he was fantasizing that he could do it.

Gotta ask but don't want to know: is he a virgin?

He looks a bit like Johnny Football.

He was 19, am I missing something?

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

I think violating an absurd law which infantalises 18-20 year olds who can vote, join the military and fight/die in combat and be sentenced to death for murder but can’t drink alcohol is pretty small potatoes compared to pulling a knife and threatening to rape someone.

Still a Teenager, 21 is the limit for Alcohol, they Couple belongs in Jail.

These are just a few recent stories, there are LOTS of them.

NO I Do Not believe he is totally innocent, STUPID Yes, Can’t handle his Booze YES. BUT If we are going to hold him accountable under the LAW, then BOTH OF THESE ADULTS need to be Held Accountable UNDER THE LAW for Creating the situation in the first place.

ps This is the ARGUMENT I would use if I were Defending him, then I would SUE THE COUPLE and OWN THEIR HOUSE!!!

A more coherent version of the story:

Teen sobs in his mugshot after arrest for 'drunkenly trying to sexually assault a woman at knife point while exposing himself from waist down at a party which his mom was also at' 

---

• Anthony J. Zingale, 19, was arrested on May 28 in Plymouth, Wisconsin
• Police say he entered a bathroom holding a knife while a woman was inside
• The woman claims he put the knife to her neck and threatened to cut her if she didn't have sex with him as he was exposing himself
• She was able to persuade him to leave and then screamed for help 
• He's facing charges for first degree sexual assault, carrying a concealed weapon and if convicted a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison

He’s nineteen going on thirty.

If the charges stick and he's convicted, he's nineteen going on "Prom Queen".
