Truly a sad story…. But one you shake your head at and say humm………..
Paraphrasing this story from Texas…… A 15 year old boy committed armed burglary of a habitation (He had a gun and a metal crow bar) was tried,convicted and sentenced as an adult to 15 years in prison. The boy was placed in the prisons protective custody because his age and small size. Unfortunately the protective custody is also where they house many sex offenders and this boy was housed along with many of them and even assigned a cell with a 42 year old male sex offender serving time for a sex crime against a 14 year old boy. (Talk about throwing meat to the lions)
The boy had written home to his family to protest the situation whereas his mother became furious and cried foul. (Where was she when he was robbing a home at gun point???)
Truly a sad situation, but my question is if the man has sex with the boy in the cell (not rape, but consensual sex [although that is not really legally possible or an option with a minor]) Can he be charged with molesting the boy because the state has classified the boy as an adult and the state put the boy in that situation? If he can be charged with rape or molestation can the boy sue the state for endangering a child or as an accomplice to rape?
Leave it to the government to do such a stupid thing by housing a young boy with a sex offender in the first place… The states comment was something politically correct like ‘While in prison, other inmates are not told of other inmates crimes for privacy and security reasons, and classification does its best with limited space and resources available’ (Yea but do they also provide KY jelly to help ease the transition to prison life? I felt so sorry for the 15 year old boy who probably by now is a Maytag and wears homemade mascara.)
What say you?.............
