Young girls have ALWAYS needed protecting from men, all through time.
I too favor the most harsh prison terms for anyone who would sexually abuse a child. I have noticed over the years that there is no apparent “therapy” that works with these sick people, and they tend to commit the crime over and over again before they’re ever even brought to trial. Of course, then the situation is one of an adult’s word against that of a frightened and damaged child in court, and the guilty often walk free under these conditions. We need harsher penalties and more protections for our children in a world where this type of crime is apparently happening more frequently than is reported.
What in the heck is going on with all the pedophiles these days…I don’t get it, every time you turn on the news now it’s another case of nasty old men trying or having sex with little girls or even toddlers! They really need to start giving out the harshest prison terms to these pigs…little girls bodies and minds will be messed up for a lifetime. So sad..and makes me so mad.
Sadly, we now a case just like this in Pelham, NC, with a 45 year old (or so) and a 16 year old. I don’t know if this man is guilty, but if he is, what the h*ell was he thinking?
