A country that whacky is bound to think child rape is perfectly okay as long as the adult is adored by critics.

Or perhaps another definition would be entrusting your money to investment professionals/ CEO's who decide that since you gave it to them willingly you don't want it back.Those have always been my definitions of consensual.

As if it was consensual and the crime was simply her being underage. No mention of rape.</blockquote> That was actually the charge he pled guilty to; the plea bargain where he pled guilty was for statuatory rape. Now, the sworn testimony given as part of the plea deal made it clear it wasn't consensual, but that wasn't what he was actually convicted for. I continue to be baffled by the support he's getting, though. I mean, maybe the judge did not give a fair trial, which should be grounds for appeal, but that would still require being in the country to face the charges. And the other charges hadn't been dropped yet and he still needs to face those. And he should still be held accountable for fleeing justice regardless.
