guilt

I am sure many of you watched the Channel 4 Sheriff Candidate debates where Taylor once again claimed his son was exonerated.  As I said before, and Angela stated it was the comment of the month, If the report stated sufficient evidence for an arrest, he is guilty!  Let me explain myself.  Florida Statute 800.04.  Need I say more?  Under Florida Statute 800.04 any person under 18 as Mr. Taylors son was, and any person under 16 (as the victim was) who engage in any sexual activity the offender can be charged with a Lewd and Lascivious Battery/Molestation charge which is a felony.  So since he admitted the act he is guilty.  No ifs, no buts.  Now I don't think anyone believes it was consentual but for this charge, it does not matter.  The statute is very clear and this young man should have been charged.  For the charge of Statutory Rape it describes sexual activity between two people when it would otherwise be illegal.  Sexual activity at 14 is illegal.  Unwanted sexual activity is not only illegal but immoral.  Taylor admitted he wanted it, and she did not.  Read Folio again for any clarity you need on that.
