No it’s not rape. Whether you like it or not. It is not rape. In Neveda and all the sane states in America and in civilized Europe the age of consent is 16 and sometimes 16 as was mentioned somewhere in this thread. It is because in a sane world people know that 16 year olds know exactly what they are doing when it…

Because teenagers are never responsible for their own decisions. Except they can drive a car at 16, get a permit to fire a gun at 12, and would be tried as an adult for crimes at as young as 14 such as murder, robbery, etc. Yet they are not mature enough to decide to have sex. Baloney. Utter baloney.

This case was never about justice only about money. And when one is being sued they have the right to and must defend themselves especially against allegations that have not been proven to be true. Save the moral outrage. The lawyer is doing his job and he is right. He was only using statements made by the woman…

This was not rape. It was sexual acts with a minor, (which I repeat is legal at 16 in many, many US states and in the civilized, sane, western world). Read the statue. She was not raped.

Well. Let’s see. 16 is not a child. It’s a young adult. It’s legal in most US states. In all of Europe. She admitted in one article a while back that she drove herself to his house to meet him. In a sane world that would be considered consent and participatory. That would be in all of Europe and many US states. Except…

Perhaps because at these private schools there is a high level of sophistication of the student body due to their affluent lifestyles, and jet setting parents. They have seen and done many things that most of the population never do. They grow up much faster. Very sophisticated in every single way.

Read the stories that lead up to this. She had a relationship with this teacher according to her because we still don’t know what happen. In her own words she drove to his house she stated in one article. All by herself. She drove herself. Those were her actions. No one else.

This happened over 15 years ago. Not 40. And in many, many US states she is not considered a minor where the age of consent is 16, sometimes 15. Why? Because you can go to prison for murder as an adult at 16 so you can obviously consent to sex.

Not a child. Never was one in this case. 16 is not a child. You can go to prison for murder as an adult at that age in California. A young adult.

Exactly. And the age of consent is 16 in many US states. California is no liberal state. It’s just because there is lots of money to be made that charges were ever brought over a decade later when the statute of limitations had expired.

16 is not a child. It is a young adult. Age of consent in many US states is 16 as in the civilized western world. This case won’t stand ground in Nevada. It wouldn’t stand ground in all of Europe. In many US states. Why? Because 16 year olds know what they are doing. Especially when they come from an elite private…

yeah except that’s not at all what’s happening. in a civil suit like this, to win, you have to prove damages. so the plaintiff here is arguing how she suffered for over a decade from the trauma of the abuse. that seems reasonable. note, the longer the plaintiff waits to file, the more damages accumulate. for example,…
