I cannot read all 100 million blogs. <BR/>I wrote about this, and another post I read this weekend about rape. The results are <A HREF="http://chamblee54.wordpress.com/2009/03/15/rape-tree/" REL="nofollow">here</A>. <BR/>The bottom line is that people need to have respect for each other.chamblee54https://www.blogger.com/profile/17280870701343868626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-37655267577706338502009-03-15T10:56:00.000-05:002009-03-15T10:56:00.000-05:00PTG, I'll ask Latoya Peterson at Racialicious.

Inevitably they slept together. What's worse is that the family was fine with the relationship. I pleaded with him to wait until she was 18 but he acted insulted that I would question his character. He wasn't too pleased when I pointed out that he committed statutory rape.<BR/><BR/>A few years later I was working as a reporter and covering a schoolboard story and it was released that a girl had been getting harassed by a male student. Now this young lady was a straight-A student and typically straight-A students don't get into trouble unless there's a reason. Turns out she had been sexually assaulted by the boy but when I tried to run the story, the schoolboard, the police department, the director of schools and my publisher killed the story.<BR/><BR/>So while this essay was powerful and difficult to read, based on my experiences even as a man, I'm not surprised.Dennis R.
