I'm rather curious that a minor's parents allowed her to date an adult, and not just a guy that just turned 18, but a 29 year old adult. Where were they in all this? Were they aware that their daughter was dating a much older man? If not, why not? And if they did know about the relationship, did they think that it was acceptable? The minor has stated that they had a sexual relationship. Why wasn't he prosecuted prior to this?
I do think the parents of this minor need to take responsibility here. Obviously, it's not your fault that your daughter was raped, but it is your fault as a parent if you knew about this relationship and did nothing to stop it. While decade + age differences aren't so detrimental when both parties are consenting adults, they are when one person is a minor. |

I agree and I'm going to use my executive privileges to have her picture removed from the articles already posted, as well as subsequent articles. It will take a few hours though as I am ethically barred from making that kind of edit myself. There was a legitimate reason to include a semi-recognizable image in the first article as, at that time, the police were asking people with information to come forward. Showing a picture of the costume would help potential witnesses realize that they had seen a person in that costume that night (describing it as a "Female Roger the Rabbit costume" would not have been as effective as the picture. That said, the teen herself has already publicly stated that she is the person involved in several very public forums, and her parents have released a statement about the issue. For all intents and purposes, it is my opinions that she and her legal guardians may waived any right to privacy. Therefore the legal and ethical requirement to avoid identifying her is vastly diminished. While we won't name her, we most likely wouldn't get in trouble legally if we did. -t Last edited by Tempest on Sat Aug 02, 2014 5:31 pm; edited 1 time in total |

^Good idea.
I should have clarified. Many degrees of homicide have a pretty light sentence. Many second degree homicides get 4-5 years. (LA seems to do this a lot) |

Or perhaps he plied her with alcohol and/or spiked her drinks in order to get her inebriated enough that she would "consent" ? We can play the speculation game all day. But we shouldn't assume that any speculation is true. Perhaps Kalior is a really nice guy and honestly had no responsibility in all of this (perhaps he didn't even know she was drinking alcohol at the party and assumed she was "behaving"), or perhaps he's the devil-incarnate. The truth is probably somewhere in between, and I think it's rather premature to feel either sympathy or hatred towards him. -t Last edited by Tempest on Sat Aug 02, 2014 6:34 pm; edited 1 time in total |

He hasn't been charged yet. They have forwarded or will be forwarding the charges to the DA, and it is up to the DA to decide whether to press charges. |

Honestly, I read the sources from TheMarySue and Polygon and it didn't match up as much as the information from NBC news.
So, I've just been using NBC as a source point because there were a lot of mixup of information. That said, That Kailor guy, I feel kinda bad for him, but that's the risk with dating an underage girl, no matter if you get parents approval or not, doesn't stick with the law, eh.... In any case I'm glad he hadn't had anything to do with the assault, but still... With the information posted, people still think they're trying to cover up a rape case... =/ |

And who ever is in charge of comments had the nerve to remove my comment, which this new update confirms my comment was right.

Since people seem to be offering unsolicited advice to young women attending cons, let me offer some to the one who needs it here: Mr. I-Thought-She-Was-20. If you're pushing 30 and you're messing around with girls who claim to be borderline 20, you're asking for trouble.

You may not know this but both the American and Canadian legal systems are based on the English system of Common Law. While there are many differences a lot of the central concepts are similar. =)

"As defined under California law, rape is non-consensual sexual intercourse that involves the use of threat of force, violence, or immediate and unlawful bodily injury or threats of future retaliation and duress.
Unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor (statutory rape) occurs when the victim is considered incapable of giving legal consent because they are 17 years old or less, even if the intercourse is consensual." Actually, they are two different charges entirely and not automatically conferred to my knowledge. http://www2.ucsc.edu/title9-sh/whatissa.htm

Lol america, if a girl has sex with a guy but she is 17 y old and 363 days is rape even if is consensual, if he is 18 and 1 day is ok, lol.
Praise the gods i'm not born in this sick and hypocrital country (in my country 14 y old can have sex with a 18+ guy if is consensual, no one cares). ps: ohhh, not to mention people get arrested for sending self naked image to the girfriend/boyfriend and marked for the entire life as sex offender, or people arrested for own hentai manga, ah ah ah, it make me laught so hard. |

I don't know man, why can't we smoke marijuana in high school? (oh wait) if a person is NOT an adult then they dont have the LEGAL RIGHT to make ADULT choices. Arguments like these are why I need a pet rock. |

Does it matter? I assume you wouldn't mind if she was 18 and the suspect would be 30. We're talking about a 17 year old, not a 10 year old. She's already an adult and certainly mature enough to make her own decisions. Don't get me wrong, rape is a horrible offence. But rape happens to adults as well and therefore I don't think it's appropriate to compare a consenting relationship with a rape offence. Now if the law doesn't allow consenting sex between parties under the age of 18, then he should be fined. But what they're dealing with is rape, which shouldn't be taken lightly.
Has the court delivered the final verdict of this case yet? If not, then ANN should remove the image of the suspect as soon as possible. I'd say ANN should respect the integrity of both parties, what happened to the "innocent until proven guilty"? I'm greatly dissapointed in ANN for violating basic human rights. |
