Can we stop playing the guilty/innocent game based upon the attractiveness of the accused...at least when we’re talking about sexual assault on children??

If they committed such a crime, their looks are irrelevant and they deserve the harshest punishment allowable.

We know that. We’re just having some fun.

oh come on. judging whether or not there was real “abuse” should take into account attractiveness. a hot teacher that any adolescent male would give his eye teeth to schtupp is probably not actually abusing him.

however no matter what they look like, they obviously have something wrong upstairs.

I don’t know. It looks like a hung jury to me. I vote not guilty.

No, because apparently at least a segment of the male population never gets past the age of 14. I personally would like to see photos of the guys who play that game. That might be honestly enlightening. :)

The point is, the looks are very relevant...like it or not. I know you've been around here a while, but are probably not aware that the "guilty - not guilty" commentary on these threads really began by those of us in the male demographic who saw major prison sentences doled out to males caught in such compromising positions while females appeared to be given veritable slaps on the wrist for identical crimes.

The commentary is a direct indictment of the legal system in which we are all supposed to be equal under the law, but a 35 year old male having sex with a 16 year old female will receive nowhere near equal treatment as a 35 year old female who has sex with a 16 year old male. There's a tremendous disparity there, and those of us who render our verdicts on these cases are merely indulging in a bit of satire. It is in that sense, political speech.
