Is this sort of a “I smoked but did not inhale” sort of thing? Strikes me as splitting hairs.statutory sexual assault is not pedophilia.
More like pederasty

Don’t give up, you can always improve your vocabularyI guess I am not well versed in child sex crimes then.
I won’t, but you’ll excuse me for saying that I’d rather learn vocabulary that doesn’t have to do with child sex crimes if given the choice.Don’t give up, you can always improve your vocabulary

Is pedastery even a criminal charge in Alabama? Why this fixation on splitting hairs? He was targeting teenagers, including underage girls. Let’s call Moore what he was, a sexual predator who targeted teenage girls.Jig_Saw:![]()

Your errors are like someone calling the color green as red.
I’m sorry, you’re right. I don’t know child sex crimes as well as others around here. I do know sexually touching a 14 year old against her will is a crime in at least two ways. I know the person that did is a sexual predator and belongs in jail and I know that most decent people wouldn’t vote for such a person, but I don’t know what it’s exact legal definition, so I shouldn’t talk about it.If you don’t want to learn the basic vocab, then perhaps you shouldn’t talk about it.

Now, exactly what age does it stop being pedophilia? I mean, what age does the girl have for a 32 year old man trying to have sexual relationship with her and sexually assaulting to be considered a pedophile? I’m wondering since you know these things so well. Is it 14 or 13 or what?The term statutory rape generally refers to sex between an adult and a sexually mature minor past the age of puberty. Sexual relations with a prepubescent child (generically called child sexual abuse or child molestation) is typically treated as a more serious crime.
I’m guessing Moore’s crime would be statutory sexual assault (not rape). It’s serious enough as it is, no need to pretend it’s pedophilia.
Moore is an ALLEGED sexual predator. Same with President Trump. Neither have been adjudicated.Of course Trump supports Moore. They’re both sexual predators. I believe the women. I do not believe Trump or Moore.
We can ALL agree that, whatever the definition, if Moore did what he is accused of doing then it is wrong, and he shouldn’t be in the Senate.Now, exactly what age does it stop being pedophilia?

It will be up to each voter to decide if he did what he is accused of and whether or not they’ll vote for him based on what they decide. And, there is evidence unless you don’t consider victim’s testimony evidence.We can ALL agree that, whatever the definition, if Moore did what he is accused of doing then it is wrong, and he shouldn’t be in the Senate.
But there is a standard in America that draws a distinct line between being ACCUSED and being CONVICTED. Other than an obviously forged signature, there is no evidence, and it is reasonable to question 40 year old accusations.
Thanks for giving us an update on the right wing talking points for the day. You can’t figure out why these accusations didn’t come out given the bull these women are going through now? Seriously?Despite from the attacks from the leftists/“liberals” here…NOBODY knows what actually happened.
A reasonable person would look at the allegations with an initial feeling of disgust…but then ask where these women have been for the past 40 years. Yes, good points have been made about the shame of sexual abuse survivors feel and how infrequently they report said abuse, but before he was a Republican candidate for the Senate there has been NO public allegations, AT ALL!
A reasonable person would also realize that there is a problem with some women making such allegations for personal or political gain. The Duke Lacrosse case comes to mind.
A reasonable person understands that there is no way of actually knowing what happened.
And a reasonable person understands that people are INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty. There is no reliable proof here, so it is simply he said/she said.
The worst, most hypocritical thing about this whole issue is this: In the past 60 years, if a liberal/leftist Democrat is accused of sexual misconduct, the liberals/leftists protect them at nearly all cost. Anthony Weiner was posed to run for GOVERNOR. Bill Clinton was elected President TWICE. Ted Kennedy was the senior senator from Massachusetts for decades. Hillary Clinton & the Democrat party attacked the accusers mercilessly, while hyping themselves up as the “protectors of women” as they pushed their abortion-laden immorality.
