Steve9347 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'd seriously make chicks sign Letters of Consent with an attorney present if I were a celebrity/well-known person before I banged them. Another money grab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 LT has led a pretty difficult like post-football, and it has pretty much all been brought on by himself. Im not saying he is guilty, but I woulnt be surprised if he was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another money grab. There are so little facts out about this case, how could you possibly say that? You know some professional athletes are grade-A assholes and actually have abused and raped women? Are there money grabs? I'm sure there are, but there are also many sexual assaults that occur and charges aren't pressed because these crimes can be difficult to prove in a criminal court.

And if it's true that she's 15, well that just takes it down another level. It's ridiculous to automatically assume it's a "money grab" right off of the bat.

Balta1701 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Plus, if he's arrested and charged in a criminal case, that means that the DA/Grand Jury believes that a crime happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always believe the crime happened. I dont know the statistics and im sure not the rate but id guess most cases that go to a grand jury result in an indictment.

Balta1701 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Court records say she told Taylor she was 19. Age of consent in NY is 17. Prosecutors currently aren't saying whether Taylor would have had another means to know her age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 LT will probably get off with just being busted with patronizing a prostitute if he can prove she told him she was 19. The pimp is going to be the one that is going to have the whammy come down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) NY, like all states I know of, have a strict liability standard for this type of crime, there is no intent to prove, it's simply was she under 17 and was he over 21, that's it. Some of the issues raised may be relevant at sentencing or a possible plea, however LT doesn't have a stellar track record and DAs are elected and if the facts aren't overly favorable to LT, the public may not be too pleased if he gets a sweetheart deal on a rape case. http://www.examiner.com/x-46000-Long-Islan...utory-rape-case Edited May 7, 2010 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 If you are 51, you still shouldn't be messing with 19 year olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Soxfan, Well see if she testifies, that would be his only real chance. Outside of jury nullification where they just dont enforce the law. Statutory crimes are bogus (imo) as they get rid one of the most important parts of criminal prosecution, which is mens rea. I just dont believe that some one should be guilty even if they had no idea they were committing a crime, had no intention of committing a crime, and took reasonable steps to ensure that they were not committing a crime. IE If some one says they are over the age of consent and you have no proof otherwise, that should be sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
