Could be so.. but the fact that we are now parsing words about whom is an adult, whom is not pushes this into a shady area. And all this does is bring us back to the original statement, it may be legal but is it ethical?jpsb replied:
Of course it is ethical for an older adult male to date a younger adult female. That
has been going on for thousands of years. It is perfectly normal. An older male
has wealth, power and experience, females like that. A human female wants a
male that can take care of her and her children. Older men in general are better at
that then younger men.OK, folks, I'm gonna be blunt.
First take a peek at this URL and discussion from 2015:
https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/what-is-the-legal--age-of-consent--in-alabama--2252314.htmlFrom the first reply in that thread:
The answer is age 16. Code of Alabama, 1975, 13-A-6-70 (c ). In Parks v. State, 565 So. 2d 1265 (Ala. Crim. App. 1990), the Court interpreted the language of the statute, declaring that “a female 16 years of age is technically not a “child,” but is one capable of consenting to sexual intercourse."
The "age of consent" in Alabama
was back then -- and still is -- 16.That means that as soon as a girl has reached her sixteenth birthday -- just one day "out of" 15 -- she is a legal adult insofar as matters sexual are concerned. She can give her consent to intercourse, cunnilingus, fellatio, anal sex, whatever she wishes to engage in and whatever her male friend can get out of her. She is no longer "a girl", but a woman. Perhaps a younger woman, but a woman all the same.
With the exception of the [claimed] 14-year-old that Judge Moore denies ever knowing, the other women who claimed to have had relationships with him at the time say (at least in the reports I've read here, I would not dignify the Washington post by reading their piece) all Mr. Moore did was "kiss" them?
KISS THEM?
REALLY?
SINCE WHEN HAS IT BECOME A CRIME TO KISS A WOMAN ON A DATE?And yes, insofar as the law of the state of Alabama is concerned, all those "young girls" were
WOMEN, fully capable of giving their consent or saying "no".
So... some of Moore's colleagues thought it odd for him to go out with teenage gals, even though he was 31 or 32?
Heck -- I'd say MORE POWER TO HIM if he could attract 'em that young!
If all Judge Moore did was "kiss them", I'd say his behavior was pretty "courtly" in the old-time traditional usage of that term. Indeed -- quite the gentleman!
I would have tried to get more!
So to the prissies of this forum (I notice one gal seems to be absent in this discussion so far), my response when you cluck your tongues and call Mr. Moore's behavior back then to be "inappropriate" -- I say, kiss my [greasy] behind. (And I just turned my back to the screen --
here it is!)These same democrats who would introduce books into grade school instructing kids on the proper ins-and-outs of anal sex are upset?
That Judge Roy Moore at age 31 dated young ladies of legal age
and KISSED them....?C'mon -- who are you trying to kid?
I say, if you can get 'em young, well go on and get 'em!
