Dear Bob,
 
Young Boy Raped by Older Woman Must Pay Child Support
 
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?”
