Wife of Ex-NFL Player Guilty of Rape

[LDB]

I find it disgusting that people laugh and joke that he "enjoyed" it. Rape is rape. Period. There is no "pleasure" in rape for the victim. This woman has taken advantage of a child for her own sexual gratification.

This is not rape in the technical sense of the word. To use it as such is nonsense.

[Charlie Brown]

This is not rape in the technical sense of the word. To use it as such is nonsense.

Rape is taking advantage of a person for your own sexual gratification.

The victim is 15 years old.

The offender is 51 years old.

If the offender is a legal adult then it is the sexual exploitation of a child.

To be a legal adult you must be 18 (and in some places 17) in order to be charged with the sexual exploitation of a child. The offender has taken advantage of a child and so it is the sexual exploitation of a child. It is rape. She should be locked away for a decade or more - just like any other sexual predator.

Obviously it is statutory rape. Which is why I used the phrase..."not rape in the technical sense of the word." That being violent and traumatizing...ie. #s 1, 2, and 4 of the definition.

Nothing anyone can say will convince me that the boy was forced against his will to do this. Nor will it convince me that he was traumatized by the event.
The woman is irresponsible. She broke the law and should have to deal with the consequences. But let's not go overboard here.

And, yes, the victim being a boy does make a difference in my mind. Yes, there is a double standard.

no harm was done...

both parties probably had fun...

laws are laws, but its there is no equality mumbo jumbo required here...

hell, when i was 13 one of my friends mother was smoking hot and a bunch of us boys would have lost a finger to sleep with her...
