The girl is in prison for sex with a minor - he was sixteen, average intelligence and a member of the football team. She was a virgin until that day. Who do you think took advantage of whom? Nevertheless, the girl is a sex offender and listed as a pedophile.
Yes, yes, I know you weren't talking about this case and that this case is nothing like the one you were trying to describe but where do you draw the line? Is this case of pedophilia so obviously a miscarriage of justice that the legal title of pedophile is something you are willing to overlook now that you've heard a paragraph of her story? Either way, many would.
I also remember the story you were trying to recall, though I only know the details as presented by the media - an entity designed and which thrives on making things as dramatic as possible. I don't know his story either.

You were given that information by the Grandmother, the courts don't usually lock up people for 12 years for no reason, I would think there is more to that story than you have been told. Interesting that you like to back up criminals rather than face reality that some people are infact bad.
I do agree that there is good and evil in all of us, that is why we have laws, rules and regulations to promote the good in all of us.
