If there is proof there was sex I agree. It makes no difference, he was twice her age and she was a very young teenager and in no way did he not know better. BR has caused his own problems if indeed his intentions were not all pure and there was sex. What saddens me is RP on SP's behalf caused all of this and I believe it is likely she saw BR as "better" than RP and an "out". RP is the one responsible for the fact she is vulnerable and her views of "men" are shaded by what he showed her her entire life. BR could have been any one of a number of predators if that is what he is. RP CAUSED her to look to someone else to save herself from HIM. I thank God she is alive.
While other conversations may not change anything as far as BR, we all know that having the entire context can make a big difference though. We see all of the time (in tons of cases on here, in politics, in anything) where taking a sound bite or part of a conversation can entirely change what one thinks. As can the written word versus hearing someone's inflection, tone, etc. of voice...
I would imagine everyone, just as I have, has experienced a text one has taken wrong.
For all of these reasons, I would like to know the entire context, not that we necessarily ever will.
To give an example, if one was held hostage in a cage without water or food and in the dark, but here came someone who said I will save you and you will not be in a cage and I will give you water and food once a WEEK but you will be tied to a chair but I will give you a small flashlight, you would trade eagerly where you are for the slightly better but still bad situation.
THIS IS WHAT RP did to HIS STEPDAUGHTER. He made her vulnerable and desperate to anything seemingly better and thank God she is alive. I will say though I have a feeling SP was smarter than we think and knew what she was trading into to a point but hoped once out of TN and biding her time, she would find a way out of there if necessary as well. Just speculation but that is how I like to think of her...
