I have been waiting to hear he will be charged with statutory rape, haven't heard what the law is in PA.
They surely must have a law.
I feel very sorry for the other children. They have been robbed. What will their education be like, who will see to it they are well cared for? And, most of all, who will hug them everyday?
I haven't yet been able to feel anything for this 14 year old girl. Maybe there is such a thing as a bad seed.
I don't know how her siblings can stand the sight of her.
Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes
CRIMES AND OFFENSES (TITLE 18)
ARTICLE B. OFFENSES INVOLVING DANGER TO THE PERSON.
CHAPTER 31 - SEXUAL OFFENSES
§ 3122. Statutory rape (Repealed).
§ 3122.1. Statutory sexual assault.
Except as provided in section 3121 (relating to rape), a person commits a felony of the second degree when that person engages in sexual intercourse with a complainant under the age of 16 years and that person is four or more years older than the complainant and the complainant and the person are not married to each other.
"The Bad Seed." Yes, there is such a thing. Kara Borden is living proof.
Luckily, the 2 oldest are grown. One son is just back from Iraq where he served. The other older son was living out of town somewhere, IIRC.
So they can probably help take on the burden of the 3 younger children, though we can hope this girl will get some sort of punishment for some time, so perhaps the older sons will only have the 2 youngest children to care for.
