Maybe the loop hole is that no one ever fathomed there could be rape of someone that young — so just no need to write a law for it... maybe? i don’t know. that’s the best i can come up with.

I don’t know the facts in the case but she is/was 12 at the time he was sentenced. “Repeatedly” could suggest this went on for years, so yeah, there’s that to make it even worse.

That’s what really stood out to me too-not only has this poor child had to endure being sexually assaulted by her own father, now she gets to live the rest of her life knowing that the people who should have protected her (mom, grandma) truly did everything they could to bring this man back into her life. They…

WHAT does she think a monster is!?!

Repeatedly. Repeatedly raping your 12-year old daughter. He was only charged with the one count in the end, but it happened more than once.

TWIST!!! I’m going to pretend that is what is happening so I can not spend the day rage crying.

Lawmaker #1: Ok, any more suggestions on the rape laws?

Yeah because teaching those boys that there is no penalty for rape is a great way to raise them. Unless it’s a trap and the family will be reporting him missing in a few days . . .

“...there’s a loophole for those arrested for incest involving someone under 12 years old.”
*record scratch* Say what now?

He is not a monster, just a man that really screwed up and has been paying in many ways.”

At the least she still has to live with a mother that thinks her rapist is not such a bad guy and deserves forgiveness.

Thanks for initially highlighting the somewhat hypocritical nature of the article.

Sometimes I feel like tabloids upgrade actors to A list in order to get a bigger story. They already stretch the truth with terms like ‘mega star’ or “hollywood powerhouse”. No one would give a shit if it was “Guy who used to be super famous but is slowly fading from glory”

Yeah, that’s my first thought too. A lot of the actors that are being suggested would have only been 20 years old or so at the time. I have a feeling it’s an old producer/director who is still working on big movies.

Look, obviously I want to learn the identity of the A-list celebrity pedophile before anyone else. Indeed, this is basically my right as a voracious online tabloid reader.

“The closeted perv has never come out as gay”

Because he very well may not be; being a child predator /= gay. Abusive sex is about power, not identity.

Like he’s always trying way too hard to convince people that he’s a feminist.

McGorry is a creepy piece of shit. The sooner you learn this the better.

Matt McGorry is NOT A FUCKING FEMINIST!!!

I read the entire thing. He married a woman who didn't like fucking him. Quelle surprise.
