Speaking for myself, while I'm normally a law and order kind of guy, if they got married in a state where she was of age to consent and her parents approve, the D.A. should butt out.

He'd rather have, what, an unwed mother or another abortion instead?

Now, if it could be shown that the parents forced this girl to marry him and if he really IS a "pedophile," that would be one thing, but I suspect that the DA is engaged in no more than hyperbole.



Yep. I totally agree with G-Man here.

More bad omens...

If this were even 100 years ago in this country or even today in many parts of the world, this story wouldn't even be an issue.

Now not saying that I agree with full on man on kid sex here but as G-Man said, if all parties are fine with the marriage and it's legal in Kansas then yeah, butt the fuck out.

And were it not for 4 years, it wouldn't be an issue anywhere else either. I'm not going to begrudge someone as somehow being "sick" for being 4 fucking years removed as her juvenile peer! To me, I think this is an issue of people being bothered by a pubescent girl having sexual relations in the 1st place. That the guy happens to be a legal "adult" is just icing on the puritanical cake.

I just have to wonder how many of us would even be here today if not for the marriages and pregnancies of our 14-17 yr old grandmothers or great grandmothers and their wage earning 18-28 year old husbands.
