So you expect them to get evidence on the spot, without questioning the witnesses? If the girls won’t identify the father, then what?

They couldn’t even get their correct names and ages out of these children, let alone much else.

Besides, they found a log book detailing underage “marriages” in a locked safe on the premises.

A trial is just to determine the guilt or innocence of any particular man, not that the rape occurred. A pregnant 13 or 14 year old demonstrates that.

Fine. Present that evidence to the judge, and convict.

Is it true that New Hampshire still allows 13 yr olds to marry, and North Carolina still allows 14+ etc etc.?
