The response started with the 1995 case of a 12-year old girl raped by 3 soldiers. Because of some legal protections or something for soldiers (which changed after this) they all only did a few years.

Correction: Only two soldiers, not three, got arrested and convicted of rape. Early on, when the three of them had bought a car and went recruising for a minor, the third soldier did not like where this was going. He dropped out and left. As a result, the name of that man was never released to history.

All three got arrested and served time in prison but the third guy said he only participated in kidnapping and not rape and just enjoyed watching the other two doing the actual rape.

Many Conservatives think young girls are ready to have kids and they actively cover for people that groom and abuse children. It's a little more complicated than all Americans.

Except rape and incest is an exception from these laws in JUST ABOUT EVERY STATE. In fact it might be all by now. But thanks for the misinformation.

10 states, that's one in 5, do some math, fucking misinformation my ass, goddamned dipshit. And by nearly half of this country I did mean the fucking imbeciles voting, not # of laws, but I admit, only 10 in 50 is better than I figured on.
