As Alex reminded us in post 189...
"Statutory rape is a strict liability crime, meaning that the consent of the younger person or mistake about their age is not a defense....Federal law makes it criminal to knowingly engage in a sexual act with another person who is between the age of 12 and 16 if they are at least four years younger than you.
And I reiterate: The more time out from the so-called crime, the harder it is to prove innocence when inflammatory allegations are made, and inflated by leftist media out to destroy the Catholic Church. That is exactly what I meant by “Nifonging the Catholic Church.”
