Clarkson hockey players face sex charges

For all those chastising the players and automatically defending the girl...  The charges indicate that she was more than willing, but they were dumb-asses for not checking her age!

I can't tell you how many girls have been more than willingly double teamed by members of our local hockey team.  This stuff happens![/quote]

Ugh. I KNOW! Boys will be boys, and those silly sluts should just keep their legs shut and stop asking for trouble.

I don't give a shit how many girls have been "more than willingly double teamed" by members of our local hockey team. What I do give a shit about is how women are made to feel ashamed for participating in these consensual sex acts.

BTW, there really wasn't a lot of "automatically defending" of the victim in this scenario. A great deal of the posts were looking for ways to blame her for being in the situation. Bottom line: the onus wasn't on her to stop the crime (however minor) from being perpetrated.[/quote]

I think/hope he's talking about his local Hockey team (Binghamton Senators - AHL) rather than "our" local hockey team, but maybe he wasn't...:-/

[quote WillCMJr][quote Robb]  If these guys had been 17 (so that it was legal)...[/quote]

Actually, that still wouldn't be legal and that's how screwed up NY State law is.  Anyone under the age of 21 could be charged with this against someone under the age of 17.  Both the guy and the girl could both be 16, and each be charged with committing Sexual Misconduct against the other.  

Gotta love NY.....[/quote]

Just to be safe on any possible vagaries of New York law, Eliot Spitzer took Amtrak out of state and got off in Washington.

Yes, a guy certainly can't win, especially when there's such a paucity of legal ways to get off.

OK, I think you are getting off-topic here. Ashley Dupree was neither a minor, conceivably a minor, or a victim of sex trafficking. There is nothing in the Spitzer saga that raises any of the issues involved in the original Clarkson story. Don't let your justifiable anger at that drift along with the thread to the sillier story of a politician caught cheating on his wife.

I despise Spitzer's tactics.
