I wonder if My People could get this SC to order that All You People be circumcised.
Hm.
Apologies in advance if this works …
A 73 year old Johnston County Commissioner arrested for indecent liberties with a 13-year old child. The article doesn’t specify, but his campaign materials stress that he’s a Christian, Conservative Republican.
What does “indecent liberties with a child” mean in legalese? It could mean anything from exhibitionism to rape. Is there a strict legal definition for the term?
Looks like it happened in North Carolina. I believe that this is the relevant statute:
It doesn’t really clear anything up.
Thanks, but you’re right, that doesn’t clear anything. Reads like an age old law written by Puritans who couldn’t express the fact of the matter, maybe it was.
Granted I’m not a lawyer, but this is how I read it.
If someone is 16 years old and tries or succeeds in committing a sexual, lewd, or lascivious act with someone who is 11 or younger, they’re guilty of taking indecent liberties with a child.
If someone is more than 16 years old and tries or succeeds in committing a sexual, lewd, or lascivious act with someone who is at least 5 years younger than they are, they’re guilty of taking indecent liberties with a child.
I’m guessing the acts in question can be anything from exposing yourself, being a peeping tom, feeling up the child or having the child feel you up, all the way up to actually having sex with the child.
That would be 14-27.23. Statutory rape of a child by an adult at minimum. Too long, really, to quote, but you can read more here (PDF warning).
R. Kelly sentenced to 30 years in jail for nine counts of sexual abuse.
He still faces counts of possession of child p*rn in several venues.
So it’s everything short of statutory rape?
That’s going to depend on the case law of North Carolina. What they define as immoral, improper, or indecent and lewd or lascivious is for the courts to decide.
Likely depends on the social prominence or wealth of the accused.
Which thread is appropriate for this? Stupid Motherfuckers, for sure.
Look at this fucking nimrod. He’s the Republican candidate for Governor next time around. He got Trump’s endorsement, and celebrated by, even though he’s by all accounts a grown ass man, cosplaying as Trump himself.
Republicans, what does it take to embarrass you anymore? For fucks sake.
Bootlicking fucking turd.
To give him credit, he also got Pritzker’s endorsement. Pritzker ran ads to help him win the primary, because as the outstanding Republican nimrod he will be easier to beat.
I tried to link just to the picture, but was a webp or something, and it wouldn’t work. But that fuckwad next to Trump, dressed just as exactly as he could… Holy fuck.
On the bright side, Richard Irvin’s idiotic commercials equating BLM with “radical woke mobs” should cease for at least a couple of years.
Yeah, Irvin totally capitalized on equating The Police Murder Of George Floyd unrest with BLM and the simple concept at the core of BLM. Which, IMO, was weird for a Black guy to do.
Anyway, sorry for the digression. All those Republicans, all of them, especially the ones who dress like Trump as they stand next to him, can go fuck themselves.
Yes, it was noticeable even in the smaller image.
The photo is odd, though. The blue “Save America” podium looks like it has been crudely photoshopped in. Is it just a trick of the light?
It was a Republican rally. Best to chalk the whole thing up as a trick.
Ah – when did I hear that before?
Oh, yes. It was about some guy with orange hair in early 2016.
(Sure hope Pritzker’s right this time; but it’s a risky tactic.)
