I am wondering how old the missionary was and what was the sex of the 16 year old.
Consensual sex, when there is an age difference of a mere 2 years, 18 months, or less, is not considered abuse. It could be that the missionary was 18 and the other teen was 16 and nearing the age of 17.
I need to know more before shouting “SEX ABUSE” for all to hear.
See 3 23
There was no charge of a sex crime. That is why no one wants to address the 0 hits on sex crime reg. Why is this pp[point being ignored.
What charge was he convicted of.
(Oh? What? The perp's confession & acceptance of the sentence wasn't enough? This was all post-sentencing; we're not at the early arrest stage of this felony. And what? You think those who don't think they are felons just readily accept that charge to be pinned on them for the rest of their life? And why is it that any churchworker charged with this would also have the spiritual-worker position of trust shadow hanging over them, but no concern from that angle seems to register on your part?)
