She claims LGBTQ+ rights need to be restricted to “protect kids,” but she appointed a man who admitted to having sex with a minor to a high-level position.
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders ®, who has repeatedly pledged to “protect kids” with anti-LGBTQ+ laws, appointed a man to a top state prison post even though he had previously been fired from a local police force for receiving oral sex from a teen girl in a post office parking lot.
Jamol Jones, who Sanders appointed as chairman to the Arkansas Post-Prison Transfer Board in January, resigned last Friday after news agencies reported that the Benton Police Department fired him after he admitted to an internal affairs investigator that he had sexual relations as an adult with a 17-year-old girl, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.
Sounds like you want to fuck a kid.
We don’t say shit like thay around here, bud. Go somewhere else.
I run into you everywhere! Hard agree, we’re better than that here.
See you around, friend!
Then let me rephrase, the only people who bring up the age of consent in this context are incredibly suspicious.
The top level comment is literally accusing him of breaking a law that is dependent on the minor’s age. Pointing to the fact that he didn’t actually violate the law because the person was old enough to legally consent as suspicious says more about your insecurities than the person who lives in reality.
He did break the law by having sex with a minor while being a police officer. That is a crime, and he was fired for it and lying about it to internal affairs. He just wasn’t prosecuted because reasons.
Fair enough, I did not read the whole article, hypocritically. I decided to read the rest and see if is a violation of state law, but I would be curious if that it’s statutory rape.
I’m so glad lemmy is different like this. Here’s hoping we can keep it that way.
Stating a fact is not agreeing with the fact. If they brought it up randomly at a dinner party after talking about kids, yes that’s suspicious. But, this is a conversation about a person who had sex with a minor, and naturally the question of “what came of that?” could be considered. The answer would be “nothing,” but only because the age of consent law was not broken in that state. If the age of consent law was broken, it’s likely the person would have a Felony. States have different laws, and they need to be considered for everyone to understand the situation.
Someone insisted it should be called statutory rape. I fact checked. If you find fact checking suspicious, that’s a you problem.
statute is a nebulous term with no legal definition UNDER THE LAW
Dude, dudette, they/them stop playing the fool
You know your arguments are frivolous and made in bad faith
You just want to be the troll because thats what you enjoy doing
It’s like an addiction for you because you get your dopamine hit from it

Do you know what the word “statutory” means? They were making a factual correction.
