The inappropriate relationship (sexting) with minor

[Minette]

Minor was 17.

But she was 16 when she first started sexting with this 'stud.'

 

[HMSHood]

I wonder if he is been doing this to other minors. This whole Cooper Harris case is weird like Josh Powell.

 

[tlcya]

It is truly bizarre. So much seems to circumstantially point to premeditation but man, what a way to murder your child???

And yeah, curious about if he liked the ladies young, more easily impressed maybe, by an "older" man?

 

[RainCheck]

I hope I'm crazy, but what I read is that SHE can get in trouble for distributing child *advertiser censored* - a picture of herself.

Yes she can! You can go back and read the article I posted earlier in the thread about the cases that have happened in GA where teens were arrested for sexting other teens!

 

[RainCheck]

I'm from GA and totally agree with you, but sadly we're part of the majority of states in this country with this issue. I believe there are around 39 states that the age of consent is under 18 (the federal age of whether or not something is child *advertiser censored*). So while I agree with your outrage, it's not just us!

Edited because as usual I misspelled something.

I don't think its a federal issue in GA though. I think their laws concerning sexting are bizarre. Here's an article about it which states the same teens who can legally have sex with each other can be arresting for texting each other. It seems like a state law issue http://m.ajc.com/news/news/local/atlanta-schools-parents-and-law-try-to-deal-with-s/nQfPw/

Then I found this that says the punishment was reduced in 2013 but only if the person in receipt of the texted nude image of the minor is under 18.

http://www.bernardbrody.com/georgia-legislature-reduces-punishment-for-teen-sexting/

"H.B. 156 also amends the Georgia law relating to electronically furnishing obscene materials to minors. It will now be a misdemeanor if the individual receiving the materials is at least 14 years old, the individual consents to the receipt of the materials, and the individual furnishing the materials is not over the age of 18."

I think because RH is 33 and the girl was 16, it's a felony for him to send her pictures of his penis and this is state law!

"Well, did you tell them too much?"

Sorta does sound like a smartass remark if she is standing by her man and still loves him.

Who even knows who "them" is.
Wasn't he talking about getting fired from Home Depot because he'd be charged with a felony?

I am not so sure he wasn't talking about the underage girl here.
Or that he interviewed at Cbic fila .
I think they both thought he would be let go for "forgetting" cause there was no malice.
I have no idea what she meant.

sure seemed to me mom referred to LE as them.

Probably, it just makes no sense. He didn't need to say anything, LE had him pegged from the first minute.

 

[newone]

I think he's always been a motor mouth......always said ''too much'' ((MOO))

You have that in quotes ginger, and it's a little different than what I've seen, I think. Do you have link for "Well, did you tell them too much?"

My quotes just meant she said it not me, but you are correct, I had the wording wrong.


And she looks at him, and she's like, 'Well, did you say too much?' " the detective testified.

My point is the same, exactly who was she referring to.

Probably LE, maybe HD?

I will look at the full transcript again later.

I didn't mean to misquote - sorry.

Oh gosh, no need to apologize. I wasn't trying to call you on it. Just asking in case I missed something and pointing it out in case I didn't. In this very thread, I wasn't clear that someone had to die for there to be a murder charge of any kind, and someone corrected me on it lest someone conclude based on my statements you can be guilty of murder even if no one is dead. lol

I don't think we can tell the "who" of it until we see the video or a transcript of the actual interview. No need to look for it. Just trying to keep the actual quotes straight.

I was just clarifying.
No biggie. If I say something wrong I want someone to point it out.
We all know that the placement of a comma can change the meaning of an entire sentence.
LH is hard to understand from the get go. We need correct wording.

[CHERIE.T]

I'm sorry, do you disagree that we should accurately quote? If so, by all means, please just come right out and say so! lol

I'm sorry, lol, it's obvious what gingr was saying.

 

[SStarr33]

I always figure LE is spinning when they provide inflammatory statements given by suspects. That being said, I have thought long and hard about what could change the context of, "well, did you say too much?', and I cannot think of anything.

I am familiar with kik because my oldest daughter and all of her friends use it. Well...did use it. I have taken it away because random strangers messaged her sexual talk several times. In my experience thats what kik is all about. Guys messaged her saying things like I'm horny etc.

 

[tlcya]

which is why IMO KiK was an interesting choice for RH to carry out his sexting.

It's demographic would seem to be the teen set for the most part.

There was an internet safety class at my daughter's elementary school and Kik was one of the apps they said to watch out for because of this very reason.

Since the hearing I have seen posts which indicate things like maybe it was not really a minor but someone posing as one.

I wanted to start this thread for discussion about the minor and how she factors in, possibly to the searches about statutes regarding age of consent and maybe even those pertaining to how to survive prison.



I did not catch this at the time of the hearing because I was reeling with the revelations. Stoddard has met and interviewed the 17 year old. and Has also tracked down and interviewed another female sexting partner who is above the age of consent.

Which is why they are looking at charging him for internet crime of trading pornographic images via the web with her. It was also mentioned in the hearing that there may be charges leveled regarding his having actually physically met the minor.

Even if "she" was a 64 year old man, it was his INTENTION to be sexting with a minor. For instance... On the show "Catfish" women sometimes pose as men to get other women to talk to them romantically. The "victim" thinks she is talking to a man. The fact that the party with whom she is interacting is a woman does not make HER a lesbian. The police regularly fool men into conversing with adult officers posing as underage. The men are ultimately charged because it was their INTENT to seduce a minor, whether or not said minor actually exists.
