An assistant Boy Scout leader from Cherry Hill, N.J., is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy.
Jason Rosner, 23, was charged Sunday with aggravated sexual assault and child endangerment. He is a self-employed landscaper who is also a Cherry Hill, N.J., volunteer firefighter, police said.
The complaint alleges that Rosner engaged the boy in sex acts on multiple occasions in September and October 2003 at the defendant's home, the victim's home and a Cherry Hill hotel.
The charges carry a maximum prison term of 35 years if Rosner is convicted.
Rosner was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail, cash or bond at the Camden County Correctional Facility. No court appearance was scheduled as of Monday afternoon.
Yeah, we know. You've been reading them for the past 15 years. You learned to read by reading Free Republic.
We're still going to look at when you actually signed up. Sorry about that.
I only say this, becuase homosexuality and child molestation are not neccessarilay mutually inclusive things. This is a despicable act. It is a violation of a sacred trust.
A POS is a POS, but I haven't been able to ascertain yet whether this guy was a homosexual. Just wondering.
Some of them have sons. Some of them were Scouts themselves and want to help bring the program to younger Scouts. And some are exactly what you suspect they all are.
I'm a Scouter. Anybody, gay or straight, who wanted to join up in the BSA without having a Scout in the Troop or Pack would get pretty closely questioned and would have to pass the "smell" test to get accepted. What you see so often in these cases is that the offender (regardless of their sexual orientation or marital state) usually assaults a boy outside of the Scouting environment; they get the kid over to their apartment or house, or take them to a movie, etc. Within Scouting, we do a pretty good job of making sure that we all keep an eye on each other, using the Youth Protection guidelines.
Homosexual n : someone who practices homosexuality; having a sexual attraction to persons of the same sex
A male who has sex with another male (regardless of age) is a homosexual.
The Boy Scouts of America makes no effort to discover the sexual orientation of any member or leader. Scouting's message is compromised when members or leaders present themselves as role models whose actions are inconsistent with the standards set in the Scout Oath and Law.
The BSA does not equate homosexuality and pedophilia, but neither avowed homosexuals nor pedophiles are appropriate role models for Scouting youth.
The great majority of the religious organizations who sponsor Scouting units have official policies condemning homosexuality as immoral. Most members of the BSA's secular sponsoring organizations belong to one of those religious organizations, I'd suspect. Please note: the BSA does not ban homosexuals! It does ban homosexuals who are members from avowing their homosexuality in such a fashion as to let the kids know about it or so as to hold their sexual orientation up as a good example to the kids. There's numerous gays and lesbians in Scouting, folks. If they're there to help give the kids the Scouting program, nobody cares. If they're there to promote homosexuality, they're out. The BSA has a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy, and they mean it. A gay kid working at a Scout camp in Rhode Island (Camp Yagoog) kept his mouth shut, but answered truthfully when confronted by his Camp Director, who then fired him. National Council ordered the kid reinstated with back pay after determining that the Camp Director had violated DADT.
And the BSA differentiates homosexuality from paedophilia; a great many paedophiles in Scouting have been married men, anyway. The correlation isn't there.
I agree. I'm a young guy, and while deep down I might think "lucky bastard" (esp. if the teacher was hot), it would certainly be statutory for 23 yr old female teacher to have sex with a 15 year old boy. There is a matter of seduction involved too as MOST women prefer men a few years older than they. A young woman going for a teenage boy doesn't have the purest motives at heart.
What the BSA actually said was "The BSA does not equate homosexuality and pedophilia" What the BSA is saying is that not all homosexuals are pedophiles. However, male pedophiles who have sex with boys are queer, homosexual, gay, whatever. The same goes for married men. If a man has sex with another man, he is a homosexual, whether he is married or not.
By the way, what correlation are you talking about? Although there may be some adult women who have had sex with boy in a Boy Scout Troop, that's not what we're talking about. Men who have sex with boys are HOMOSEXUAL PEDOPHILES!
A thief is someone who steals. Just because sometimes the thief pays for something and is honest sometimes does not make him an honest person. He is still a thief!
They stopped getting my money a few years ago. My combined federal campaign contribution now goes directly to the local Boy Scouts.
