Kaitlyn Hunts parents insist that their daughter, a Central Florida high school senior, is being prosecuted for sex crimes only because her lover was another girl. The state attorney says that gender makes no difference; the age of the two girls is at the crux of the case.
Ms. Hunt, 18, is an adult. The girl with whom she allegedly had sexual encounters is 14...
Just before Christmas, they had a sexual encounter in a bathroom at Sebastian River High School. They had at least one more encounter there, according to the affidavit, and one in Ms. Hunts bedroom in January after the 14-year-old, a freshman, ran away from home.
The younger girls parents went to the police after learning from a coach, school employees and students that their daughter was having a relationship, according to a report from the Indian River County Sheriffs office. The parents information led to the investigation.

Youre the one pitching a particular religious view and code of conduct. . .
Let me put it very simply.
Yes I am pitching a particular code of conduct, but I'm not advocating that laws be written to enforce my religious views on anyone.
The law on the books regarding sexual activity with minors has been broken in this case, and your posts seem to defend the actions of the 18 year old in breaking the law.
Another point I made is that society as a whole has degraded to the point where sex outside of marriage and even sex with minors has become acceptable in the viewpoint of many people, instead of frowned upon by society when discovered. So things are not the same as your great grandmother's time.
Actually, you’re incorrect THERE too. We’re just more open about it now, AND not forcing marriage.
As someone else mentioned, the term “shotgun wedding” existed LONG before the 1950s.
And things are not all that different from my great-grandmother’s day: you could ask my other great-grandparents about that, if they were still around. They HAD to get married, and so did most of their friends.
You might ALSO want to note the old habit, long since dead, of people counting the months from a wedding until the first child was born. . . there’s an old maxim about children taking nine months, except the first one. . .
Even with your heterosexual spouse? You sound like our soon to be gov.
I now I am out of date but my definition of sodomy requires a male. Two females can not commit sodomy.
My post accurately described the two newspapers as pro-sodomy....which, in my mind, would put that mindset as being sympathetic to any sexual perversion regarding homosexual behavior....that is why I mentioned the worldview.
You think I don’t know this?
You think everyone is an animal?
There is a vast difference between marriage - to a member of the opposite sex - and illicit homoesxual acts.
But you’re probably right.
Your comments are like bits of toilet paper stuck to the shoe. I don’t bother to read them except by accident, and since this was address to me I did read it.
I don’t know why you think everyone engages in sodomy.
And since we have a gov lardered with (along with the president0 homosexuals, I don’t see that the gov is going to forbid it, since it’s increaingly pushing perversion on everyone
Not everyone. Do you think it should be illegal for everyone?
Oh yeah, good thing accidents do happen, or we wouldn’t be having this pleasant conversation.
Ok, I don’t view female homosexual act the same way I view male homosexual acts, but that just me. I would not criminalize two teenage school girls fooling around but I think you are correct about the pro-homo media using this to push their agenda. The DA must be in on it, because no serious DA would prosecute here.
More open about it... accepting?
People have been immoral for centuries.
However, in the U.S.A. from 50 years ago and further back, were the vast majority having premarital sex? (Was it the norm or the exception?) Even if a majority did so, are you saying that the people that were found out to have engaged in premarital sex were not looked down upon back then by society in general?
That certainly isn't so now.
They HAD to get married because society frowned upon the behavior, it was seen as the moral thing to do.
The only reason it is more open now is because people are more accepting of the behavior. Which supports my case.
I understand. I think there is a big difference between two young girls and one that is 18 and one that is 14.
I’ve seen the ages bounce around a tad. I think one was 14 and the other 17 at the time in question. They both need a good spanking and grounded for a month.
(checking for chlorophyll. . . .)
Nope, no chlorophyll, not even a chloroplast.
Guilty as charged, I’m an animal. An intelligent, rational animal who is perfectly capable of making his own moral choices.
I’m merely noting that if you’re against all sodomy, you’re VERY much in the minority. . .
Your point is as far as Florida law goes, it was illegal.
It would not, for example, be illegal here in Virginia: here, the law talks difference in age for those under 18.
And a reductio-ad-absurdium example:
Let’s a notional couple. Call them B and G. Assume Florida Law. . .
B and G are having sex. It’s 11:59 at night. B is 17, G is 16. B’s birthday is tomorrow. How does what is legal at 11:59:59 illegal after the stroke of midnight ??
You’re an animal?
I’m not. I’m an eternal soul currently residing in a human body.
Actually, so are you, but if you choose to act like an animal that’s your God given free will.
So you think age of consent laws are stupid?
Never said that. My point is, I’m MUCH more worried about a 25-30 year-old with a 14-15 year old, than a Senior dating a Freshman or Sophomore.
Here in Virginia, if either are under 18, more than a 5 year difference is illegal. So you can still have, say, a Sophomore whose BF/GF in now a college Freshman, for example. . .
So you say. Personally, I’m a process running in DeOS’s SimUniverse game. . . .
