"Did you see this thread?" ping
Statutory.
Surprisingly enough, the feds have never banned the death penalty for child rape. The SCOTUS has left the issue open, and the 5th Circuit hasn't ruled on the issue.
D'ohh! < headsmack >
Gotta brush up on my 70s Glam Rock trivia.
wasn't there some kid from ohio about 10-15 years ago who was being caned for destroying property there... or was it another country
Didn't see it until you pinged me. Sounds like a plan to me. The US waaaaay underuses the death penalty. I'm a pro-death penalty type. For murder, rape, child molestation, arson that kills anyone, kidnapping - punishment should be death. And not after 15 or 20 years. And hanging or firing squad is just fine.
For someone facing certain death, it gives them a chance to repent of their crime, which helps them in their next life. Plus the earth is freed of their presence.
I was thinking more along the lines of individual states (and not the SCOTUS)having decided to reduce the maximum penalty for rape from execution...because doing so would remove the incentive that the perp might otherwise have to kill his rape victim.

This would explain why Michael Jackson fled to Bahrain rather than Vietnam.
These creeps NEVER change. We cannot rehab them. They will always be perverts.
Kill them up front and be done with it.
Only if it is not a cousin????
Don't buy into the made-up theories of the liberals. Compare the murder stats from the present with those from the era before the Supreme Court banned the death penalty for ordinary rape. Then compare the rape stats for the same two eras. Murder rates didn't go down as the rape numbers went through the roof. I dug out the stats last time I had this discussion with someone several years ago, but I don't know if I'm disposed to re-do the research tonight.
who is this guy?
He made that annoying "stadium rock" song that goes: "na na na na - HEY!"
If you are a good little sheeple, you would sing along and clap at football games.
oh, ok.
Lots of people have done Pa Pa Ooh Mow Mow over the years. The Beach Boys were doing it as part of their stage act in 1964.
Example: Queen could have done nothing else except write "We Will Rock You" and still made it big.
Interesting you mention Queen. The first single released by May, Mercury, and Taylor (the three singers in Queen) was under the name "Larry Lurex" as a spoof of Gary Glitter's name.
Then it depends; it might be statutory rape, some degree of sexual assault, or something else, depending on the specifics.
