(AP) WEARE, N.H. First, a father was charged with beating up his daughter's boyfriend last week after learning the two had sex. Now, police are preparing to charge the boy with sexual assault.
The 17-year-old boy from Henniker, who admitted to having sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend, will "absolutely" be charged, police said.
Weare Detective Lou Chatel said the boy will be charged as an adult and could face up to a year in jail.
Both teens admitted to having sex during school hours on Sept. 10, but off school property, Chatel said. That afternoon, he said, the girl's father went to John Stark Regional High School and attacked the boy.
School had just let out and the parking lot was filled with students and parents.
The boy suffered cuts and bruises and received two stitches to his face. The father was charged with simple assault.
It all began that morning when the girl did not show up for her first class, even though she had been seen at school.
School officials searched the building, then put out a school-wide page. When the girl didn't respond, they called her parents.
Principal Michael Turmelle the parents helped search for their daughter, called her cell phone and coordinated with school officials.
The teens returned to school at the same time, through separate doors.
The principal said he's upset at the number of people who have sided with the father.
"We all work so hard to give our kids a safe place to go to," he said. "Any time we have an act of violence, it's very upsetting because it is completely antithetical to what we're trying to accomplish."
The girl and her siblings have transferred to another school, Turmelle said.
I do not know the exact age of the 17 year old boy but, under Federal law 17 yrs. 9 months is considered to be 18 and I would expect that a lot of states use the same guidelines.
And what're they trying to accomplish? A peaceful environment for kids to have sex at school?
If the environmentalists hadn't forced cars to be so small these days, these kids could go get it on in backseats at creepy dark parking lots on friday nights!!!!!!
But if my son DID have the same fate as the boy in this story, I would apologize to the other father, make my son apologize to the other father, and then give my son a whipping from me.
But hey, thanks for playing this little “you must be a hypocrite” game. It was fun.
Yup, “Daddy’s little girl” spreads her legs and the male get the crap beat out of him by her father. Makes you wonder what type of disipline “Daddy’s little girl” received.
Yes, it is if the other kid is one too. The law differs by state and the rules change according to the crime. That society is arbitrary in its handling of crimes should tell you something. Underage sex is wrong for a whole host of reasons but you have to consider that a difference in age of of two young people that could be as little as 14-15 months is negligable.
At one time or another plenty of people were getting married at the age of these two kids. Different era perhaps but I guess society changed its mind on what is legal and proper.
Does the boys father get to do the same thing to the girl? How many would be cheering?
They went off school grounds....
So you wouldn’t mind someone beating your 17 year old son.
Most of these “kids” are bigger and tougher than I am. The only thing I’ve got in most cases is intimidation. They figure somebody 20 years older who is looking them right in the eye and saying, “Don’t you square off on me, young man!” either learned something in the special forces, has a weapon, or is just nuts.
The best solution would be to pat the father on the back, tell the kid he is a loser and give him another swift kick in the ass, and not charge anybody.
Yep. She's not legally old enough to have sex, but she's old enough to get a legal abortion through Planned Parenthood without parental notification. So can a ten year old. Something is very screwed up with our laws in this area.
What’s even more nuts is the number of freepers who actually support the father. If vigilantism is the going thing, I hope the boy’s father curb stomps the SOB.
I make a distinction between a whipping and a beating. And if this happened to you your son would already have had the hell beaten out of him. So you would apologize and give the kid another thrashing for doing what most 17 year olds have been trying to do since, well there have been 17 year olds. I wonder what this genius of a father is going to do when missy turns 18 and decides to marry junior.
Teen to be charged in Weare sex case

Yep. And if my girlfriend's father had caught us I have no doubt that he would have beaten the crap out of me.
If a father said that to me before I dated his daughter, I would think the dad was a creepy gay boy-lover. Please come up with q better example.
Young Missy will likely be out there doing the “My Space/FaceBook” scene, having hook-ups with plenty of meaningless sex with other directionless youngsters if Mom and Dad don’t reel her in. Teen sex can be a case or unmonitored kids, kids acting out or perhaps kids looking for connection because there isn’t anything available at home.
