J.D.- I agree that there are various degrees, but what I am talking about is the child molestors. Those that prey on children. Those such as the Coueys of the world.

To my way of thinking, there are various levels of guilt. In a crime like John Couey committed against Jessica Lunsford, that is the maximum degree of guilt, and the punishment should be at the maximum allowable.
However, there are other “sex crimes” that are in a grey area when there was no intention or plan to act illegally. Such cases usually come up with charges such as “statutory rape” or “contributing tot he delinquency of a minor” and only because the person charged didn’t know the true age of the person involved in a sex act. Even State law makers are not sure about what the “Age Of Consent” should be because it ranges from 14 to 18 depending on what State you happen to be in at the time. Also, I have seen 13 year-old young ladies that can and do pass themselves off as 18 year-olds.

I’m just saying that its not the same crime and there has to be some consideration of that.

it does’nt matter if he walks or he does’nt because he is’nt going to live if he goes to prison or if he gets out, one way or the other that piece of trash has the death penalty already hanging over his head. he probably would live longer if he were to go to prison then if he is on the street, you can run couey, but you can’t HIDE!!!!!!!!

I don’t know what has happened to America when facts hold no meaning and obstruction of justice is accepted.

24: It’s a side issue to me, mike. Too many people think kids are little adults.

The overriding is this: Kids can’t legally consent, no matter how willing a participant they may have been or wanted to be at the time.

Regardless orientation, what do we do to those adults who think a kid’s “yes” is the same as an adult’s “yes”, or that the kid is there for the adult’s gratification?

what offends me is that political correctness and the defending of gays at all costs, keeps us from getting to the heart of some of these issues.

22- Great point Sasha. I find it troubling that people think nothing of a female molesting boys. To me it falls under child predetor.

But let’s not forget there are a number of female teachers getting caught doing their 12 & 13-year-old male students. What do we do with them? Or is that somehow okay because it’s what every boy wants at that age (or so it’s thought)?

I’m only asking because this subject has come up before and no one’s mentioned the female offenders.

why bring homosexuals into the discussion of child molesters? the majority of molestation is heterosexual. why not start with them and work your way down the percentages – down the way you’ll find homosexuals and those who like sheep and chickens and porn …..
