After reading your pitiful comments, I simply had to log on (only the 3rd or 4th time I have done so) to reply to your idiocy. Let me spell it out for you, I have teenage daughters, and have witnessed a dear friend’s teenage daughter get pulled into the web of deceit by a freak such as Ritter. Yea, jail is gonna serve him well - and thank God he was caught.
As I am not an attorney, I couldn’t care less about trying to define the laws to meet your very odd criteria, ie. 13 is the cut off age, but as a parent, I damn straight can call bs on your mindless rantings of attempting to dodge the facts of what the dirtball Ritter has done. btw, do YOU know if he has ‘chatted’ with other under age girls, and not been caught? Do you honestly believe that some dude just chatting with an UNDERAGE girl is going to stop at just ‘chatting’?
You are so off base it’s almost funny. Thanks for letting me know by your own choice of words, just to who to steer clear of on this website.
“Do you honestly believe that some dude just chatting with an UNDERAGE girl is going to stop at just ‘chatting’?”
He has gone further if you read the thread, he’s been caught a few times in stings where he thinks that he’s going to hooking up with some 14/15/16 year old. A 14/15/16 year old is not some small child but a teenager who knows full well that what they are doing is wrong (or maybe not depending on what kind of morals that they were raised on). And would be active participants in this activity.
It’s interesting that the age of consent from the middle-ages to around the mid-18th century was around 12 years old in most of Europe and America. It has only been in the 20th century that the laws were changed so that anyone under 18 years was incapable of giving consent (there are still a few states that have the age of consent at 15-16 and some countries in Europe that have it even lower).
Your friends daughter has other issues (possibly as a result if improper upbringing or corruption by our anything goes society) that cause her to desire to go into that kind of relationship. It’s not like she was kidnapped late at night by some stranger and raped, nope she went willingly with this guy so she is as responsible for what happened as the guy (or gal as there are plenty of older women trolling for young male/female lovers as well now days). But like I said, there really was no need for these kind of laws 50 years ago as young women had some semblance of restraint, now like your friends daughter, they seem to have none and putting people in prison for doing what everybody else is doing isn’t going to stop it.
