Fortunately this happened in a jurisdiction where this creep will be prosecuted. Imagine if this was New York, San Francisco or LA!
“Fortunately this happened in a jurisdiction where this creep will be prosecuted.”
As I am reading more about the story it seems this was at least partly consensual and perhaps fully consensual on the part of the girl. Law enforcement is still investigating but they say she had some lurid and graphic text exchanges with the accused and he essentially promised to do to her what he did do and she quite possibly entered into the arrangement willingly.
What’s in question here is that she’s of diminished mental capacity so her ability to fully consent to the arrangement may end up in the accused facing at least some charges.
