John M. Lohnes needs to contact an attorney. He should have the attorney sue the fraternity officers for interfering with parental rights by giving the underage girls alcoholic beverages. He should also have the attorney help him swear out a complaint against each member of the fraternity who might have circled around him. In New Hampshire that act constitutes assault if it is threatening and kidnapping (which by the way is still a capital crime in New Hampshire) if it is meant to prevent an individual from exercising his free will to leave. Once the complaint is filed, the Durham police will have 24 hours to act upon it. If they refuse to act upon it, Lohnes can file the complaint with the New Hampshire state police along with an additional complaint against the Durham Police Department. If the New Hamsphire state police refuse to act, he can file a complaint against the New Hampshire state police with the New Hampshire attorney general. I can assure you that neither the fraternity nor the Durham P.D. nore the New Hampshire state police want the trouble their actions have caused them. Oh, by the way, it's not really credible that the Durham P.D. was not able to determine if Lohnes had a valid carry permit. If the computer was down -- a common excuse which is usually in the vernacular a lie -- the Durham P.D. could have telephoned -- yeah, I know it's New Hampshire, but there are telephones there -- the Manchester P.D. Were I Lohnes, I would also get as many names of the individuals my daughters came into contact with and find out precisely what happened. Any in appropriate touching -- since the age of consent in New Hampshire is 18 -- is statutory rape.
"since the age of consent in New Hampshire is 18 -- is statutory rape"
It is 16 in New Hampshire. I believe I read somewhere that it is actually 15 1/2 or older (they round up).
16 in New Hampshire. § 632-A:3 Felonious Sexual Assault, look it up.
