The Case of Cyntoia Brown, Who Murdered a Man as Teen After Being Forced Into Prostitution

"Against her will" is a hard sale for me if she never attempted to escape, inform authorities or kill her abuser. Shades of grey are troubling for me when it comes to justice. I'm all about the facts and objective judgement.
The American Justice System has never had "objective judgement" when it comes to people of color though....
 
One thing to note tho is that they touch on close in age consent. Reason is messing with any minor is still a crime. Close in age means within 4 yrs.

A forty year old man with a teen is still illegal.

You’re reading it wrong. The age of consent is just what it says it is. The close in age exception is an exception to having sex with someone who is UNDER the age of consent if both are close in age. Therefore in a state where the age of consent is 16, it is not illegal for a 40 year old man to have sex with a 16 year old.

"A close in age exemption is a law allowing a young person below the age of consent to have lawful sex with an older partner. However, not every jurisdiction has a close in age exemption - see the list at the end of this post. The area where you live, the ages of both the older and younger party, and other factors have a huge effect on the ramifications of violating the age of consent rule. For example, in an area where the age of consent is set at age seventeen with a close in age exemption of four years, a forty year old man with a fifteen year old girl would be illegal, while that same girl could consent to an individual up to age nineteen."

I hear what you're saying as far as her being "16", but that don't fly in the state of Tennessee where this occurred anyways. Age of consent is 18. And anyone trying to justify fucking a 16 y/o child is just sick. Don't care what state it is.

It’s not what I’m saying, but what the law says. I’m not stating an opinion.

The close in age exemption only comes into account when at least one of the actors is BELOW the age of consent. That is the law as stated by my quote and your quote.

The only point I was making was to contrast all the OPINIONS suggesting he was a depraved pediophile for having sex with a 16 year old when in fact the law in 31 states makes having sex with a 16 year old perfectly legal, even if the man was 40.
 
That NY case is bullshit; that girl was killed by the mob...

surprised no one updated this...perhaps someone’ll make a thread...

 
She wasn’t given clemency under obama. But I’m glad she’s getting out. It made my day better afte that babygirl got killed in Texas.
 
I had to turn that Netflix documentary off. Her upbringing was fucked up. Moms a ghetto crack smoking white woman with gold teeth. She did the crime but should of been punished as a juvenile not a fucking adult. Ass backward as state.
