Personally, I would have shot the guy, but that is just me.

Gun employed against scumbag ping.
Citizen action ping.
What the heck is wrong with a 13 year old who, upon their "first face to face meeting" she thinks it's OK to have sex with a total stranger in her front yard? Much less, that it's OK to have sex with anyone. What is that?
Many kids today are behaving far outside norms of decency and self-respect.
Kids are sexualised at a young age in our society and they are bombarded with the message that they should have sex early and often. Then, there are some parents who do not counter what the media crams into their kids' brains.
That's what I was thinking! She's a slut and he's a slimeball.
Given that they charged the perp with aggravated sexual assault (as opposed to, say, statutory rape), do you have any reason to think that the 13-year-old consented to the sex? Seems to me it's more likely he groomed her online so she'd meet him and then forced himself on her.
I know, I know. But, darn, 13 years old! It's just too young. And, it's so prevalent.
Too many questions, Not enough answers.
1. Where was the Father and the Mother.
2. Is this girl mentally ill?
You almsot have to be Mentally ill
to sneak out in the middle of the night
to meet a stranger and have sex 13 0r 33.
3. What punishment did the girl get?. At the least
she should be grounded for life and have her
computer privileges taken away.
4.A 43 yo lady school teacher got a suspended sentence the other day for having sex with a 13 year old male student, will this guy get a suspended sentence?
5. What other problems has Grandpa had with this kid?
Yes, it is FAR too young, and very prevalent. Every time that I see a story like this, I continue to be shocked.
I would like to think that you are correct.
Thus, the cops are continuing to conduct their investigation. There are many questions to be answered.
Like Desi Arnaz would say, "They got some splainin' to do".
Ain't gunz great????
13 year old girls are silly twits who are just starting to feel their hormones. Adults have to protect them, not take advantage of them.
I'd have a different comment if she had been 33.
And good for her Grandpa.
You bet yer bippy they are!
Does anyone seriously think they would have stopped their activity had grandpa just said 'Stop!' without a proper tool to back up his position? I sure don't...
You said it! Hold a perp at bay is best done with a firearm.
Oh: I agree with you about Grandpa
Not a very well written story , too many things left out, But Gramps is going to have his hands full with this kid.
I still wonder where the parents are.
