Full Story (click)

[The] girl says two friends left the room, leaving her alone with the boy who she says had been her friend up until then. She says he forced himself on her. The girl says she told her school counselor about it a month later. The counselor went to police and before long this girl who was 14 at the time, was being charged with raping the boy who was a few months younger and still 13 years old. Kansas law says sex with anyone under 14, even if it's consensual, is rape. Deciding to actually prosecute a child in this situation is another matter.

Attorney Sean Shores says he is so outraged that he is defending the girl free of charge. "She went to her counselor, she asked for help, reached out for help and the message they sent her was--she should have kept her mouth shut," says Shores. The trial is scheduled to begin in five weeks.



Wow, this seems completely backward! What the fuck? She's being prosecuted for being raped?

Wait, what? That makes no sense that she's the one being charged. So she's being charged because she was raped by someone underage?

Yes, put it bluntly just because the guy was underage.

Look at this way.

They don't know he raped her.

There is hard proof she had sex with him.

So for the time being, she should be charged on suspician of rape.

Assuming she actually was raped, obviously the boy should be charged and she should be freed.
