Age-Of-Legal-Responsibility Laws For Police It is so interesting how the police here in the United States simply love to have their cake and eat it too whenever it comes to our statutory-age-of-consent laws as opposed to our age-of-legal-responsibility laws. If a cop discovers a handgun in a 12-year-old boy's backpack, he'll arrest that boy and do everything to have him tried as an adult for a weapons possession offense despite that that boy never had intentions of using that weapon to harm anyone. On the other hand, if a male college student has sexual intercourse with his girlfriend even one day before her eighteenth birthday in that same jurisdiction, the authorities and the court system will treat him as though he is some kind of serial child rapist despite that he may be only a few years older than her. You have to ask who writes these retarded laws. Norman Michael Achin explains it all in his video below. Norman Michael Achin Questions How American Criminal Laws Really Define A Teenage Minor's Ability To Consent Or The Lack Thereofhttps://youtu.be/joXLrjEdh8g?si=Tve9FAo7HEiuhYH6 After watching Mr. Achin's video above, one has to question under what circumstances should prior sexual conduct on the part of the alleged victim be admissible in statutory-rape cases. Generally, prior sexual conduct on the part of the alleged minor victim is inadmissible in a statutory-rape case. That is, if a 14-year-old girl has a body count in the double digits or even the triple digits, the criminal defense attorney cannot bring it out at a statutory-rape trial or the judge will shut the lawyer down and strike such information from the record. If there is a jury, the judge will instruct them to disregard it. In other words, under the eyes of the law, that 14-year-old girl must be treated no differently from an alleged minor victim who is still a virgin in that statutory-rape trial. Nevertheless, it still leaves the question open as for whether prior criminal sexual conduct on the part of an alleged minor victim should be admissible in a statutory-rape case. If a 14-year-old boy was recently convicted of breaking into a 99-year-old woman's residence and brutally raping her, why should he be treated as an innocent child victim in a statutory-rape trial involving a 37-year-old schoolteacher who had consensual relations with him? He shouldn't be as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately, American elected officials don't seem to care one way or the other about this same inconsistency in the law. They're more interested in catering to special-interests groups than they are to the actual voters. For that reason, we need to vote elected officials out of office who turn their backs on us in critical situations like these. An online publication titled The Paradox of Statutory Rape by Russell Christopher and Kathryn Hope Christopher has interesting information about how American laws treat adult rape victims when their assailant is below the statutory age of consent, and it's not very pretty, to say the least. The statutory-rape laws in the United States are in serious need of reform. The inconsistencies within the American sex laws that Mr. Achin describes in his video above go much deeper than what he pointed out. That is, what is completely unacceptable for suspects in a statutory-rape arrest is completely acceptable for police officers when mistaking a juvenile for an adult in deciding where to lock someone up. ## 2. The Inconsistency Of The Ignorance-Of-Age Defense Between Police Officials And Regular Civilians Once upon a time there was a 12-year-old girl named Alisha Dean back in 2007. She had a MySpace page, and she claimed therein that she was 19 years old and divorced so that she could lure older adult men into bed with her. She did so and got a 20-something-year-old man convicted of statutory rape. A year later when she was 13 years old, she did the same thing, and yet another man ended up behind bars because of her misrepresentation of age. Alisha's father knew what she had been doing, but he never lifted a finger to stop it. At the same time, he always sided with the police and the prosecutor in throwing the book at whatever adult man that had sexual intercourse with his underage daughter. The state of Florida didn't cut these two men any slack merely because Alisha had misled them to believe that she was above the statutory age of consent at the time that they each had sex with her. In Florida where these events took place, statutory rape is a strict-liability offense. These same two men were not pedophiles or child molesters. They were both young men in their twenties who were tricked into doing something that they normally would not have done if they had known Alisha's true age after first meeting her. This same story is not unusual. There are **[many others like it](https://brongersma.info/Age_of_consent:_How_old_Is_old_enough_for_sex%3F)** out there here in our nation. Now here's the kicker. After I got my first big job and began working in the city, a co-worker of mine told me that the police had arrested a 12-year-old boy and locked him up in an adult detention facility in that they had mistaken his age to be 18 years old. The poor boy's adult inmates gang-raped him and sodomized him shortly thereafter. By the time that the authorities discovered that this young boy was only 12 years of age and released him from the adult detention facility, the damage had already been done. This poor youngster was going to live with the emotional scars of what happened to him for the rest of his life. He had even told his parents that he never wanted to have sex or be in a relationship with anyone from that point on. Not once do I recall any news about the police apologizing to the 12-year-old boy and his parents for their mistakenly incarcerating him with hardened adult criminals only for him to be raped and sodomized. The convicts that raped the young boy behind bars certainly never apologized to him and his family. Radical feminists, self-proclaimed child advocates, self-appointed pedo-experts, pedophile-panic fanatics, and the likes will scream from the top of their lungs that ignorance of age should never become a defense in statutory-rape cases here in our nation. Police will egg them on in the process. On the other hand, these same people expect everyone to chalk off a police officer's ignorance of age in locking up a boy barely in his teenage years or not yet a teenager at all with adult sexual predators as an honest mistake. It makes absolutely no sense at all. It's clearly a double standard and a hypocrisy. In a perfect United States of America, the adult men who raped the 12-year-old boy would have all received the death penalty. The arresting officers would have all been fired from the police force and sued to the fullest extent of the law. The city would have compensated the young boy for his suffering. Both adult men who had consensual relations with Alisha Dean back in 2007 and 2008 would have been acquitted of the statutory-rape charges against them. Most disgracefully, we do not live in an America where justice prevails. We live in an America where the criminal justice system only appears to serve its own interests rather than protecting the public safety. ![Nova_27 is the author of this picture/Source: Pixabay](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/10/23/21/04/doll-3769012_1280.jpg) ## 3. Final Thoughts American tourism is suffering because of all of the societal problems here in the United States. People are afraid to immigrate to our nation. If you don't believe me, watch the video below. U.S. Tourism Is In A Downward Spiral In Spite Of Global Travel Boomhttps://youtu.be/o_tlWGBwz04?si=92Scc__L1P781TZl The upside-down American sex laws are doing nothing to help this situation. Elected officials better wake up and smell the coffee, or our entire nation will collapse into something we no longer recognize. Our nation is already losing enough of its citizens for there to be cause for concern over how this trend is going to impact our economy and standard of living. Self-righteous do-gooders like Chris Hansen, Oprah Winfrey, and Julie Posey are not doing anything to save our nation. They are only pulling it downward to its final destruction, and we need to stop idolizing them and others like them. **This article is copyright-protected.**
