Dumb And Blind

I once sat on a jury for a person who was charged with ‘Statutory Rape’. He was found guilty, but more than likely, he was just guilty of stupidity.

Okay people, listen up,
And I will tell a tale,
I’ll tell you of a stupid thing,
That landed me in jail.

It happened twenty years ago,
When I was young and dumb,
I went into a sleazy bar,
And filled myself with rum.

I thought I was a ladies' man,
And I could play the scene,
I hooked up with a sexy chick,
But she was just a teen.

She said that she was twenty-one,
And I believed her lie,
Her father heard what I had done,
And told me I would die.

For she was under seventeen,
And I was just a fool,
I’d 'dated' one who was too young,
And busted every rule.

So now I sit behind these bars,
(And not the drinking kind),
Not only was I really dumb,
But I was also blind.

Folling around with under age girls or boys can be a serious thing. Sure he should have known that the girl was under age, but still she was at falt too. If what they had done was concentual he shouldn't have gotten tried so feircly, but thats my opinion and I wasnt there, but maybe if I was I would think differently.

You make the point very well. There are to my mind different forms of rape. Yours is typical of so many who have fallen into the trap.
Who ever asks for proof of age, unless it is so obvious she is underage.
I have also heard of charges of rape being laid when all that happened was that the cheque bounced.
Of course we do not hear much about men being raped, although it does happen.
