Sounds like rape to me.

This. Yeah obviously this woman was extremely irresponsible with minors. Possibly criminally so and perhaps should face charges for those actions. But according to the account posted, she was also raped by a 16 year old and that seems to not matter to anyone involved. Kind of sends a nice healthy message to other 16 year olds. Well done Georgia, well done.

Again, what did she do that is illegal?  As far as we know, everyone present was 16 or over.

Providing pot might the worst she actually did from the legal perspective.

As to being raped by the 16 year old, it is only rape if she both failed to give consent and believed the sexual act was rape.   It is not rape if she didn't think it was rape afterwards, even if she was passed out and could not give a priori consent.

It looks to me like popular discomfort with the acts trumped actual rule of law.

It is illegal to give minors alcohol. It is illegal to give minors marijuana. I believe it is also illegal in most places to perform sex acts in front of minors.

Fine. Who goes to jail for giving minors alcohol in their own homes?

Is 16 year old still a minor in Georgia?

Everyone under the age of 18 is a minor. And the law is the law. You give kids booze, especially other people's kids (i.e. not your own), you should not be surprised if the authorities get involved.

Also according to the article, she had sex in front of teenagers. That usually falls under the category of contributing to the delinquency of a minor or corrupting children and is illegal in most places.

I would usually say that it falls under the category "you need a psychiatrist now"

I believe age of consent in Georgia is 16, it's not a crime to need a psychiatrist.

She's a woman.

Seriously, if that had been a man, I guarantee you he would be in jail right now, labeled as a sex offender for life.

This is why I don't take most feminists seriously. They want equal benefits for the same work as men, but they balk at the idea of sharing equal punishments for the same crime.

Preach it, sister!!

Oh, wait

I didn't say it was. The only thing I'd personally be genuinely concerned about in this whole affair is how she ended up having sex with a 16yo while passed out. All the other stuff is nothing that will, in a few years time, be more than a weird-ass memory for all involved. But feeling the need to demonstrate your vibrator skills or whatever at your teenage daughters bday party seems worthy of some therapy.

Was everyone present over the age of 16?
