that when the rape allegedly happened the perp was 17 years of age or younger right? He was possibly 16? So he was under the age of 18 which is when a minor becomes a major or am I wrong?

Star article said he was 17. Not only was he above the age of consent, there's nothing in the MO statute (that I'm aware of) preventing a minor from being prosecuted for statutory. It's probably exceedingly rare, though.

But he was below the age of being able to legally drink? MO is stupid.

I'm saying the state laws are stupid. If he can be persecuted for statutory that great, do it! But the town let him walk. I'm saying that if he is a minor in the legal sense, that is, below the age of 18 which is where most if not all the people in the US say is when a minor becomes an adult, then go after his parents too.

The girl may be a little void of strong parenting, but not necessarily due to neglect. Unless I'm confusing two stories, my wife told me her dad was a doctor who died not too long ago in a car wreck. This is so sad.

And her mother was a vet. It's not like she came from an obviously dysfunctional family background.

Or, that fact that children when faced with such events often rebel and do stupid shit typically outside of their character as a coping mechanism. Hell, how many people still turn to booze to push pain or problems down in their lives all the time. Doesn't excuse the boys actions and being predatory ****s !
