... had sex with an underage girl...
So, rape? Underage people can't consent, it's rape. He's a pedophile.
Yup. The report specifically found he violated FL statutory rape law, among other laws, but headlines continue to not call it what it is.
America's willingness to elect pedophiles/rapists to the highest positions in their country is... baffling. To then have their news not even use those words just makes me worry so much for women in the US. Like seriously, 'sex with underage girl,' we have specific words for that. Embarrassing.
It's not baffling. Sad and terrible, but not baffling at all.
As a non-American (Canadian), it's baffling to me. Our Conservatives have been quite horrific in many decisions (like refusing to admit climate change exists, for example), but I do actually think they would turn on one of their own who was a pedophile. Maybe not in a year or so, but for now, I do believe they would. To see people celebrate these monstrous things in their leaders is terrifying.
Yup. It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.
It is baffling, especially since this is the same country where people have been arrested for CP because they had photos of themselves.
It's the double standards in these laws that get me.
inb4 the weirdos come saying "well she was 17, so he's acktually a hebo whatever blah blah" as if it matters
That would matter in New York, just ask Jerry Seinfeld
It matters only in that it gives cover to the extra extra sick ones that go after young children.
