A
15-year-old California
boy was seduced
by a 34- year-old
woman. The California
Court of Appeals
found that he is
required to pay
child support to
the woman who raped
him.
The Court of Appeals
was swayed by the
boy’s admission
that he participated
willingly in the
sexual intercourse.
This “reasoning”
is bizarre, since
the whole idea of
statutory rape is
that children are
unable to give meaningful
consent to sexual
intercourse. Just
as a 15-year-old
girl may not fully
understand the consequences
for her, such as
pregnancy, a 15-year-old
boy certainly cannot
fully comprehend
the possible consequences
for him, such as
child support.
I guess we’ve gone
back to Original
Sin – he had sex.
Worst of all, he
enjoyed it, so he
must pay.
Courts in other
states have made
similar decisions,
including Alabama,
Kansas, Minnesota
and New York State.
So far, we do not
know of any states
that have found
the opposite.
The lunatic “Pay
No Matter What”
child support mentality
gallops onward.
The fuzzy thinkers
will cry, “What
about the child?”
I ask, “Which child?”
