It was the battery charge that was was un-related to FS, not the statutory rape charge. What you said is correct, it stemmed from AGT blurting out that statement which then lead to an investigation and him later being charged (but the prosecution dropped it I believe). It's been stated in various articles that AGT was 18 when he impregnated his girlfriend, not sure how old the girlfriend was but regardless if she was 15 or 16, still illegal. She is a victim in my eyes and i'm sure her parents felt the same. As stated before, I respect anyone who believes otherwise.
