@Jeremy: I live alone, thank you very...oh, I get it.

Arrogant, jaded (at 23, this is an accomplishment), occasional asshole, single white male seeks whatever he can get. PRIVATE message for details.

@pinafore: Thanks for trying to keep the Johns of valleywag in order. With the level of disrespect for women they're showing, they're probably cursed to be alone for the rest of their lives. However, I think it would be good for you to consider what if the accused is innocent, and this is a clever girl fucking up her ex-bf's life? He could go to jail as a sex offender and be raped and killed - wouldn't that suck if that happened and he were innocent? What do you think should happen to her if she's making it up? Do you see the imbalance in risks that each of them is facing? - she'll get slapped on the wrist, he'll be destroyed.

This YouTube spectacle will attract more attention to the case, which is precisely what it needs. Not Doucheywag commentary from sexually frustrated emotionally stunted dudes and femnazis. That doesn't help.

One study of elder abuse showed that victims were most often assaulted in their own homes (76 percent), or in their own automobiles (24 percent). The majority of victims were complete strangers to their assailants (79 percent). In this same study, one of the most prominent characteristics of the sexual assaults was the degree of violence exhibited in the offense. The majority (60 percent) of offenders seriously injured their victims; ten percent murdered their victims; and 43 percent savagely beat their victims. That far more physical force and aggression was used in the commission of these offenses than would have been necessary had the intent of the offender been simply to overcome his victim's resistance, is clearly evident. The dominating motive is clearly rage rather than sexual desire in these assaults (Groth, 1979).

Age is no defense against rape. Even women of advanced years are vulnerable to sexual assault. Moreover, from the data of several studies, it appears that when they are sexual victims, seniors are the targets of particularly brutal assaults. According to Groth (1979), the older woman seems to symbolize an authority figure over whom the offender wants control. Sexuality becomes the means through which anger and power are expressed and the means by which he can hurt, humiliate, and degrade his victim. The sexual assault of the older victim clearly reveals rape to be a distortion of human sexuality. It is sexual behavior serving nonsexual needs and motives. Rape is far more an issue of hostility than of sexual desire, whenever it occurs.

@DanLar75 I'm pretty sure a good way of conducting yourself is to not rape women.

The reason women get raped is because there is a rapist present. You don't get raped because of what you are wearing or what you are doing. You get raped because there is a rapist present.

1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men will be a victim of sexual assault in their lifetime. So clearly, not every girl (or guy) spelling r-a-p-e means something else.

Melissa, about this point: "She could have gone to an anonymous chatroom for survivors created by McAfee Security and RAINN, a sexual-assault education organization..." Did you post that in the comments section of You Tube? Because at sixteen, she may not know about those resources.

@pinafore: If I have a disagreement with you that the courts fail to care about, is it OK with you if I just torch your car instead? Or is vigilante justice only OK when women do it?

But I bet you at the time of the incident, she acted and looked otherwise.

The fact of the matter is:

GUYS: DON'T GO NEAR ANY GIRL UNDER THE AGE OF 18. FOR ANY REASON.

Oh, and statutory rape cases (17), according to a recent survey, are usually only prosecuted if the girl's family presses for it. That being said, 5% prosecution is abysmally poor, even by Florida standards.

@pinafore: No. Fuck you for taking her side. With the information that was presented, there's no way to reach any conclusion, just speculation.

Even when you are young you have to realize the risks of throwing yourself into an adult lifestyle, especially surrounded by strangers.

Again, not saying 'she deseved it', just pointing out that there are allways smart ways and not of conducting yourself.

DanLar75

Don't mean to be mean, but who is going to call the state attorny when it just as well could be a crazy girl?

Sure, If I get robbed in LA its not my fault, but then again I dont walk through South Central in chaps wearing 6 rolexes drunk!

DanLar75

Also, even if it is found out you are innocent, and posting a 'dude it wasn't me' video there are still millions that does not see the second one.

Also, lawrence - you sound a little harsh but yeah. I have had to literally redress and carry home drunk girlfriends of mine that argue 'well, I can dress how I like. If someone rapes me its still wrong'. Well yeah it is, but seriously why put yourself out there???

They date older guys, go to these parties, drink, wear slutty clothes, defy their parents, etc...then when they get raped, or abused - or whatever...they're so shocked it happened!

Did she present this is statutory rape? She left out a lot of details from her plea, so this might be be an ugly breakup involving a crazy 16 year old girl who has a thing for older guys.
