WEARE – A father attacked his daughter's boyfriend last week after learning the boy had sex with the underage girl, police said.
It was about 1:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10, when the man stormed onto the grounds of John J. Stark High School and beat up the 17-year-old from Henniker. School was just letting out, and many students witnessed the attack, said Detective Lou Chatel.
The boy suffered bruising and later received two stitches to his face.
The father was charged with simple assault, a Class B felony.
Police said the boy is dating the man's 15-year-old daughter.
The man discovered the two had had sex earlier that day, during school hours but not on school property, police said.
Under state law, a 15-year-old cannot consent to sex; therefore, police are investigating the allegation as a sexual assault.
The New Hampshire Union Leader has a policy of not identifying sexual assault victims. For that reason, the newspaper is not identifying the father.
Both students attend John Stark High School. The girl lives in Weare.
Chatel said there have been no arrests in the sex case, but he expects there will be.
But I wouldn’t give Dad any other special awards, either.
1. Public school.
2. Allows his 15 year-old to have a boy friend, indicating not much serious training from early childhood.
Fifteen year-old girls need boy friends like the USA needs another few million illegal invaders from south of the border. This sexual behavior is encouraged by implications that modern pop culture is cool. Of course, sex by 15 year-olds is encouraged in government school life.
Dad should have prevented this happening by training the girl differently over the past 15 years so that she just wouldn’t have a boy friend.
But it doesn’t excuse the boy, either. If anyone should beat the boy until every fire alarm in the county goes off, it should be her father. And then the boys father ought to peel some skin off of him, too.
And short of killing or debilitating the boy, the sheriff and the judge should turn their heads. Then there would start being much less of this.
All you guys protecting to honor of your daughters from teen aged boys you think should be charged with rape, are you aware that if the laws are applied equitable in your state, that your precious daughters (16+ years old) can be charged with statutory rape if they have sex with a male schoolmate under the age of consent?
A pregnancy would have ruined it a lot more thoroughly. The 17 y/o is probably a scum bag anyway and the daughter is better off without him.
Of course if the girl shows bad judgment once, she'll likely do it again, with another scum bag.
She’s a slut, but no such condemnation for the boy?
“No. Assault and battery is not justified by a daughter having sex with her boyfriend. “
It’s not just sex. The girl is not at the legal age of consent. It was a sexual assault. If you’re going to turn to the law to say the father should be locked up, use the whole law. The boyfriend committed a crime, should be prosecuted.
Of course, it would be ironic if the kid and the father are both convicted and get sent to the same prison. Not that it’s likely, but . . .
10 Rules For Dating My Daughter
Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.
Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.
Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose his compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.
Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilising a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.
Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."
Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.
Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?
Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.
Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a pot-bellied, balding, middle-aged, dim-witted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.
Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.
“It’s not just sex. The girl is not at the legal age of consent. It was a sexual assault. If you’re going to turn to the law to say the father should be locked up, use the whole law. The boyfriend committed a crime, should be prosecuted.”
And if the boy had been fifteen and the girl seventeen, your opinion would be the same? A sexual assault on the underage boy?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
The father is an adult.
Good point . The adult father acts like a child and everyone wants to give him a pass.
Meanwhile they want to hold the minor to an adult standard.
I've also noticed that girls mature faster than boys so the maturity level of this couple is more than likely equal yet everyone acts like she is a toddler and didn't know what was going on.
The father needed to handle it a lot better. Go after him in a less public environment. I personally would have brought him up into the nearby desolate Owyhee Mountains of southwestern Idaho and we would have spent a couple days together playing Apache. This retired Senior Master Sergeant does not play around.
Absolutely right. I think only the estrogen confused will disagree with you.
As for Justice, tell the father not to do it again or he will be told again not to do it, while eating that aforementioned steak dinner.
The young man should learn his lesson and in the future be more circumspect about whose underage daughter he copulates with.
bet your butt..........life means something
you're a lawyer huh :-)
You must be in your 50s or later - have you seen some of the wimps our public schools are producing these days?
**************
LOL!
ditto that
You know, if more fathers did this, there’d be a lot less teenage pregnancy and kids with STD’s to worry about.
In this case we don't know that. The 17 y/o could be bigger and stronger than the father.
What the father should have done, was to make a citizens arrest for statutory rape, and only use whatever force was required to make that arrest. In most states that is perfectly within the law.
