There's got to be something they can charge that 16 year old with too.

How about Conduct Likely To Cause Mass Nausea?

AARP The P is for pervert

Three guesses which political party this freak votes for. And three guesses which party would defend what he did as long as it was consentual.

If the old lech invited the young man over 3 times, why is he charged with four counts? It doesn't add up!~

Um, I didn't think apartments HAD cellers..

Can't say i've ever been in a house in Florida that had a celler, either! I think that would especially be the case on Merritt Island.

hahaha... was just about to find a pic of the old perv on Family Guy!

"Doing the math, this lecherous freak was 71 years old when his victim was born. What a disgusting story."

Agree... But what a disgusting 16 year old also. And I don't want to hear, "he was just a kid". When I was 17 I was in Navy boot camp. 16 is no kid.

Yeah, a 16-year old (unless he's a midget), certainly would know better than (and be able to physically stop) getting diddled by great-grandpa. Somethin' ain't quite kosher here.

Sad to say, in a case like this my guess is this 16 year old had gay tendencies. May have already had gay sex. Not that the dirty old old buggerer shouldn't be prosecuted

16 is no kid.

Exactly. Any adult who thinks a 16-year-old is too young to consent to sex must have a pretty bad memory. If anyone committed a crime here, I doubt it was the old man.

Tendencies? Gee, ya think?

Maybe the old guy had Parkinson's.

He had Fudgepackeritis.
