Prison term for Southern California man who molested Petaluma teen he met online:
A Southern California man who drove to Petaluma to have sex with a 13-year-old girl he met online was handed a 13-year prison term Wednesday, Sonoma County District Attorney officials said. Brent Spivey, 24, of Walnut in Los Angeles County, pleaded guilty to multiple felony crimes last month involving child molestation and trying to molest a minor, including having sex with a child younger than 14 years old, records show.
Spivey met the girl last year on a live-chat website and sent her pornographic videos and images of himself and lured her into sending videos of herself to him, prosecutors said. The girl initially said she was 16 and when she later admitted to being 13, Spivey told her that was even better, according to the District Attorneys Office.
Spivey traveled to Petaluma in December 2017 and molested the girl, police said. Police were alerted to the crime and detectives took over the childs social media accounts with permission from her parents, according to police. That led to Spiveys arrest in June at an east Petaluma playground where he believed he had arranged to meet her. Police showed up instead. Prosecutors said he had set up a makeshift campsite at a nearby creek with a tent stocked with condoms, lubricant, and whipped cream.

That said, I've seen some surprisingly forward teenagers and avoid them at all costs. This guy is guilty as sin and deserves all the time he can be given.
If all the sexual allegations now swirling around the White House turn out to be true, President Clinton may be a candidate for sex addiction therapy. But feminists will still have been right to resist pressure by the right wing and the media to call for his resignation or impeachment. The pressure came from another case of the double standard.
For one thing, if the President had behaved with comparable insensitivity toward environmentalists, and at the same time remained their most crucial champion and bulwark against an anti-environmental Congress, would they be expected to desert him? I don't think so. If President Clinton were as vital to preserving freedom of speech as he is to preserving reproductive freedom, would journalists be condemned as ''inconsistent'' for refusing to suggest he resign? Forget it.
For another, there was and is a difference between the accusations against Mr. Clinton and those against Bob Packwood and Clarence Thomas, between the experiences reported by Kathleen Willey and Anita Hill. Commentators might stop puzzling over the President's favorable poll ratings, especially among women, if they understood the common-sense guideline to sexual behavior that came out of the women's movement 30 years ago: no means no; yes means yes.
It's the basis of sexual harassment law. It also explains why the media's obsession with sex qua sex is offensive to some, titillating to many and beside the point to almost everybody. Like most feminists, most Americans become concerned about sexual behavior when someone's will has been violated; that is, when ''no'' hasn't been accepted as an answer.
Even as a young sailor I was aware of the fact that “15 will get you 20”.
Possible scenario...
13 year old girl has fantasy issues about sex... I mean, thinking on a more emotional level and not truly understanding the physical... When reality hits in the case of actual contact this particular girl did tell Mom and Dad, who contacted the police....
Not making excuses for the girl. Young boys are drawn into physical relationships as well because they can be thinking emotionally while the other person is using that as a foil to get the physical relationship going.
In this day and age, there are still those young folks who truly do not have a clue about the reality of sexual contact until it’s too late.
I had been sexually abused at a younger age and in my minds eye, the sexual act was totally separated from the emotional act. I can remember being that young and thinking kissing was the actual sex act of married couples. I guess it was a way of survival thinking at the time.
Known several girls and boys sexually abused and it seems the hook for the sexual aggressor was the emotion....
Sad. Anyway, just a thought.
