I can deal with it. Calm down. :lol:
I hadn't read much, because most of what I find isn't fact oriented. I still have not read that she said no, I have read that she was posing topless and drinking at a party with him. From that, "drugged and raped" doesn't fit.
Also, some 13 year-olds certainly look older than 13... not 25 or anything, but they can look 18 to a 40 year-old that is buzzed from drinking easily. Is he a creep? It sounds like it at this point.
She testified after the fact. A lot of things can change from what she wanted to how others made her feel after the fact, and he plead guilty because of arbitrary laws regarding age of consent, not because of anything else. A lot of men get ****ed because of situations like this... even underage guys that are 16 and have sex with their 16 year old GF get accused of sex with a mino and convicted. **** happens all the time and to simply look at a few words 30 years later and say "deal with it" doesn't really cut it, I deal with facts and only ones that are ethical will stick.
There are plenty of things for which we've gone overboard on. I'm the first to say that the current laws are well too stringent. That wasn't true in the 70's, things were ridiculously lenient. There's no excuse, this isn't a 16 year old with a 14 year old. This was some dude in his, what, late 40's and a 13 year old. If you can't see an ethical problem with some 40 some year old perv ****ing a drugged up 13 year old girl who says no then you're messed up in the head.
