In medieval times and to this day still in certain countries these people were and are killed,there being no surer way to make certain they won't do this again or teach it to our children.Dead men[and women]tell no tales and also molest no children!That just might make them think twice before giving that a try!It really pisses me off Warren jeffs only got prison!Now we all pay to feed that monster!report abusekidatheart

"If this were a 28 year old man having sex with a 14 year old girl, the key would be thrown away. Equal Rights!"
or "I am sick and tired of the double standard with men vs. women. Enough is enough! Start treating women the same as men."
Men get treated as equally as women here, which is MUCH to lightly.
What did the 65 year old man get for his sexual relationship with the 15..16 (however old he was)? Less than this woman!
I hate child sex offenders probably more than anyone out there, and anyone who is a "regular" on this website knows that, but men do get equal treatment as women in the "I'm a child sex abuser" category, and it ALL needs to be stopped...NOW!report abuse

Let's not fool ourselves with sayings like:

I am sick and tired of the double standard with men vs. women. Enough is enough! Start treating women the same as men. Lawyers, Judges, parents, the media need to get a grip. We need to engrain this in our children that wrong is wrong. I can cite at least 5 cases either locally and nationally where the women gets off much easier than men.report abuseCitizen x
