Nevertheless, the girl is a sex offender and listed as a pedophile.
Maybe I'm getting over emotional here but an older woman could have very well taken advantage of a younger boy. He's of average intelligence and part of a football team- so what? He can still be taken advantage of. If you switched the genders here and said an epileptic man with an IQ of 63 took advantage of a 16 year old girl with an average intelligence on a sports team, people would believe it. How is it unbelievable that the boy here could have been taken advantage of? Abuse is abuse.
Thanks for this!
