Not that he is innocent, but the circumstances of these crimes should not be conflated with the same knee-jerk reaction that even I would have if this victim had been a toddler or even a 12 year-old.
This victim traveled across state-lines and, to some degree, presented themselves as being of legal age, and only a fool would not verify before getting into a compromising situation.
This guy is definitely a fool. However, I consider the term 'child sex charges' to be hyperbole and misleading.
She was 15... we've all known some mature looking 15 year olds and I can think of one that if it weren't for her mental maturity not being there would pass for low 20's easily being over 6' and an athlete. It comes down to if he knew she was 15 or not... not even when besides before intimacy. I know nothing of the details of the case but generally full and multiple charges like this involve some strong evidence and such. And, always nice to have a solid Dem example to toss back at my lib friends that shove anything reported bad about a republican in my face.

OK, let the downvote avalanche loose.

Thank you. I used to work 911. If it's only a mistaken (oh, she looked and acted older), it won't be that many charges. You are correct.
