He might feel bad about his mistake, or he might use his power to do it again, and again, and again. Your situation has happened about 1 for every 1000 times mine has throughout history.
There's a very easy way to stop all this: Stop sleeping with children. Stop sleeping with people that were very recently children. If you can't understand why you shouldn't sleep with teenagers, seek help. If you aren't mature enough to do that, stay away from everyone.
He deserves his punishment. And for every rapist that gets caught and punished, there is another that walked free. |
At what age should everyone stop sleeping with children or recent children? All seems very black and white to you. As soon as you turn 18? I suppose you were completely fine with Marcus Dixon getting 10 years in jail for sleeping with a 16 yo when he was 18?
You talk about this girl like she was some pure, sixteen year old virgin, who is devastated about what this cop took from her. From reading the article, I don't see anything to suggest that she even regretted or was upset about having sex with him. Seemed like she had been kind of bragging about it. I see nothing to suggest that she thought of that night any differently than any other encounters she may have had. She wasn't the one reporting the cop, it was her friend trying to rat out the cop when she got busted for something else. I would actually guess she is more upset about what happened to the cop than about what he did to her.
But the law's the law, and he broke it. He got what seems like an appropriate sentence.
