Having said that, while not trying to defend him, how would you feel if you went out to Vegas and visited the Bunny Ranch and had sex with a girl whom you were informed was 19y/o. Then within a matter of hours your being arrested cause in actuallity she was 16 and it's a Felony to have sex with some under 17?
Don't get me wrong I agree that any married man should not be seeking this kind of servatude. All I can say is I thought most everyone else was in the same boat as me or thought the same way as me when it came to sex. I'm lucky to see it once a month, while others are still going at it twice a day. I was on a 3 month dry spell and I was shocked at how some people are doing so much better then myself and they were shocked at how bad off my situation was even while being married.
So basically I'm not going to judge LT in regards to his seeking relief outside of whatever type of relationship he has ( I thought his wife left him). The law is the law. Did he have sex with a minor? yes. Does the law state he has to know she is underage? no. Maybe this case will change the law up there maybe not. But I'll say it doesn't sound fair when he might have asked the young lady how old she was and she was instructed by her pimp to say she was 19.

I've really avoided trying to get into the debate with people, because I dont want to seem like I'm defending anything that even remotley has to do with rape....but I agree 100% with this. Again, ASSUMING everything is fact, is LT a scumbag, probaboly (but we knew that already), but I think its unfair that he's now labeled a rapist. I would think the "pimp" would be the one who should fry.
