I think you are right. This guy preys on women, has been caught in multiple lies, seems to have a gambling addiction and does more drinking than the normal 17 y/o male. Add to that he is relatively good looking, athletic and has limited/ or no boundaries set by his parents. No this guy is trouble from the get-go.
Unfortunately I think he is going to walk because his daddy helped him cover up the crime. Joran will get caught some day and punished but not before he does more damage.
It is time for AVDS to take a good hard look at both her husband and son and decide if she really believes these two cretins. If not, perhaps she should cut her losses before she ends up being hurt more. If she knows anything about this it is time for her to step up, tell what she knows and put the two cretins to shame.
AVDS appears to me to be "selectively" clueless!!
