GUILTY FL - Kaitlyn Hunt for statutory rape of 14yo girl, Vero Beach, 2013

All scholarly articles dealing with the selective prosecution of statutory rape laws.

OK...I will admit that I didn't take the time to read all of the articles from your quick Google search, which I could have done myself. However, I didn't see any articles about selective prosecution of statutory rape laws. I saw articles about selective prosecution with race, but not specifically of statutory rape cases nor of gays. That particular article also states that it is rarely a successful defense.

I also see articles on statutory rape laws, but many of them are simply anecdotes and discussions of whether they are valid in an increasingly permissive society. Many discuss the fairness of having a boy statutory rape victim having to pay child support to the mother, who also happens to be his rapist.

If you can dig a little deeper and find me a specific article or two specifically related to selective prosecution of statutory rape cases (if you can find them as related to same sex statutory rape that would be even better) I would be happy to read them.

But for the time being, I will remain firmly on the side of the laws as they are printed in the books as influence by my own 46 years of experience in life.

Frank Rodriguez and Nikki Prescott:
http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Stossel/story?id=4400537&page=1#.UaZd-dgd_cs

Nikki's mom, Melissa Wiederhald, knew her daughter was intimate with Rodriguez, and at one point even took Nikki to Planned Parenthood to get her birth control pills. She didn't like what the couple were doing, though, and she thought their relationship was getting too serious. One night, after an especially bad fight with Nikki, in a fit of anger, Nikki's mom made a fateful decision.

"I said, 'This is it,'" Wiederhald recalled. "I said, 'We're going to the police station.' I said, 'I've had it.'"

Wiederhald went to the police station because she knew that it was illegal for Rodriguez and her daughter to be having sex. The age of consent in Texas is 17, and Nikki wasn't quite 16. Wiederhald didn't think that Rodriguez was violating Nikki, but she felt she had no other way to make a point to her teenage daughter.

"She thought you go down, you file charges, slap on the wrist," said Prescott, "Ha, ha, taught you a lesson."

That's not quite how it turned out.

Thanks for the links. I especially love the first one from EdgeBoston that really pulls at the heartstrings for the Hunt family. I say good for the family that is simply trying to protect their daughter and shame on all of the people who are attacking them as if they are doing something wrong!!!

Get it straight people. Kaitlyn broke the law!!!! She has sex with an under aged girl and refused to back off. She helped the 14 year old "run away" from home and allowed her to stay with her. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH??????

Where is our world going to when people are more interested in furthering a gay rights agenda than protecting our children??? This makes me really sad for the gay rights movement, as it completely tarnishes everything they work so hard to achieve-to be treated like everyone else! Well it works both ways. Shame on all of those who support this girl simply because the parents use the bigot word and sling mud at the girl's parents.

And one other thing that really irks me....why are Kaitlyn's glamour shots being shown in every news article I see? Where is her mug shot?

Knock off the political agenda posts. :nono:

Discuss the crime and not each other!

There is new news in this case. Let's stick to facts, okay guys?

Oh God.

From that link:

The judge said Tuesday that Hunt chose to willfully violate the conditions of her bond on several occasions.

Prosecutors said Hunt violated court orders by sending 20,000 text messages to the victim.

Prosecutors also said Hunt sent the girl 25 lewd photos.

Or my favourite:

Investigators also said the two girls would meet in person.

In another text, Hunt wrote, "You're stupid...you want me to go in jail...you're such a messed up person...you snitched on me."

That's a good news article, I like how it stuck to the facts.

20,000 texts? Is that a misprint?

 

[jjenny]

I must say I am not surprised by these new developments.
Although seems like a whole bunch of posters on this thread are going to be surprised.

 

[believe09]

No surprise here. I think the anthem music is fading into the background and we have just a straightforward predator imvho. I hope the vic gets some help and I hope Kaitlyn does as well.

 

[believe09]

snipping from your post, EmmaliLucia-

Investigators also said the two girls would meet in person.

In another text, Hunt wrote, "You're stupid...you want me to go in jail...you're such a messed up person...you snitched on me."

Sure, it's the victim who is stupid and messed up...not Hunt. Got it.

Not surprised at all. No matter what the genders are, two teenage schoolmates involved romantically arent going to give up their romance if they don't want to - no matter if its the parents, the law, or whatever who are trying to stand in their way.

We've seen cases here on WS of teen romances where they run off due to familial opposition. Up and leave their homes and families. Yet people actually thought that these two in this case would cease their communication?

I'm not surprised at all. I figured this is exactly what would happen. And I still don't think that criminalizing a relationship between schoolmates is the way to go here.

Fwiw, I do think Hunt sounds immature. The blurbs I've read of their communications, she reminds me a lot of a guy I was involved with around ages 14/15. Pretty manipulative, would lay the guilt trips on thick.

 

[LadyL]

is there something mentally 'off' with Hunt?

I mean no disrespect but her wording in the text and her demeanor just seems a bit strange to me ...

I would say that we may see this as the next line of defense for her...

have you seen any evidence of it?

I'm only familiar with some basic facts about this case and have not read all the links but it seems to me that it's more than just immaturity with her.

sorry I'm not usually so lazy - I normally read everything to try and find the answer myself

No I havent LadyL-I just think it is a very logical next step. I mean that is about 100 texts a day, isnt it? I am not strong in math I confess.

That is a lot of texts. That seems way more like obsession to me.

that's an insane amount of texts but I have no idea how many teenagers generally send - what bothers me more is the nekkid pictures ... ewww

She was ordered by the court to not contact the child. So there shouldn't have been any texts, regardless of how many teenagers generally send.

Apparently there is no stopping Kaitlyn Hunt when it comes to this victim. It will be interesting to see how she pursues her from prison.

 

[EmmaliLucia]

You have to love how she blamed the victim, too. It's the victim's fault, she tattled, she's messed up.

Yeah, okay.

I agree with y'all, I've been thinking since I read the full case that something's not quite right with KH
