When I first read the headline I was taken in: another innocent ensnared in the criminal justice system. But reading the AP story led to a different conclusion.

His description of her and the alledged affair seems curious; he sounds like a con with his indirect references to the event and the girl. Also,a table in the back of a classroom where the girl was working, hardly seems a plausible location for consensual sex. There is the fact that she reported the incident to school authorities and that they summoned the police; this also buttresses the rape allegation. Finally that article noted that the kid had a prior history of sexually predatory behavior.

I say he's lucky to have gotten off so lightly. He probably pled down to a statuatory rape charge, and now is trying to leverage public opinion against that.

Well he's in jail and will serve his time according to the law, and nothing I can do about that.
