Rape is rape dammit! When an adult takes advantage of a childs innocence and ignorance it amouts to the same thing, the scars are still the same, I am dealing with the scars, I was abused as a child so none of you geniuses can understand the pain unless it happened to YOU! Panther, I can imagine what happened to you was horrible and no, none of us geniuses can ever completely understand unless we have been through something like that. But the truth is, on this subject, you are biased because you were abused. However, other people are still entitled to have a different point of view.

Calm down Panther.
Like Blaque said, don't let your experiences cloud your thoughts.
There are laws regarding forcible rape and laws regarding statutory rape. There's a reason why the two aren't treated the same...different circumstances. The first happens by force...while the latter may involve consent between the two, but one is clearly underage and may not understand what's happening. The Laurens County cases involves the latter.

Why do I always have to calm down? Most of my opinions are different than most I can live with that, but I won't "calm" down if I get pissed about something. I fully understand the difference between forced rape and statutory rape....I worked for the Criminal Justice system for 4 years, and I have been in prisons as a minister for over 10, the law IS different but the results and the trauma is the same. Until you have stared in a kids eyes that was violated by an adult, or seen the shattered live of someone that was molested, then maybe you will understand my "attitutude". I am not mad at anyone so YOU calm down.
