Thanks, and you're welcome. [Wink]

I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

I, too, am saying goodbye to Flare for an indeterminate period of time. For there is a high likelihood that I will be incarcerated by year's end.

For those not in the know, I have been in a relationship with a girl 11 years my junior; she only recently turned 16 about a week & a half ago. Her parents found out, & they went to the police. On Friday, I went home from work on my lunch break. I found my roommate there with an odd look on his face & a search warrant taped to my wall. A warrant, a probable cause affidavit, & a receipt of inventory. I talked to Helen, the property managaer, who gave me a copy of the local detective's card. I promptly came back to work & talked with my manager, who was more than understanding. I then took time to call a lawyer, but none local could really help since the charges are in Maryland; the specific charges are solicitation of a child for sexual purposes via the computer & sexual offense in the third degree. (Note that this is all public record, so my saying it here makes not one whit of difference.)

Finally, I was referred to one in Maryland. We talked about possibly retaining him for the initial stages, because as far as we know, there's been no arrest warrant issued. It'll be expensive, but it'd be more so to leave my fate in the hands of a Baltimore County PD.

My father berated me. My stepmother was more toned down. But they've both shown a willingness to help which is making me cry. I can't help it. So far, everyone--EVERYONE--has been saying, "This is bullshit, let me testify," which also makes me feel insanely good at a point when I really need it. But yeah..I didn't sleep very well that night; perhaps being raised on "Law & Order" isn't such a good thing.

With the computer gone, I find myself going even more stir crazy. Nothing to do, nothing but time, & the unstoppable thoughts of what's to come in my head. I'm scared. I'm sad. I'm angry. I'm..all over the place. My life--& hers--will never be the same again. This shouldn't have happened...for a lot of reasons.

But I digress. I won't be online for an indefinite while because they took my computer with them. I can check mail at the library, or webmail at friends' houses....but I won't be around at all, really.

But anyway...yeah. That's the situation. I'm hoping all goes well..but I don't think it will.

"solicitation of a child for sexual purposes via the computer & sexual offense in the third degree"

Solicitation? Child? Sexual purposes? Sexual offense? Third degree?

WTF?!

My mind's a blank, so I'll just offer a Hang In There.

I believe it's easier to understand if you just think of it this way: He fucked a fifteen-year-old.

I'm fairly certain age of consent in Maryland is 18. I've heard 16, but I haven't heard it from an LEO or lawyer, so I don't trust it.

but the 15/16 line would remove the 'child' charges from it (i thought), and 16 adds a lot of consent when it comes to the computer contacts i believe. not sure in that locality, just the way i believe it is around here.

"he got screwed by a handful of months"

A mere 180 or so, so slightly more than a handful, but still far too small to make it appropriate in any sense at all.

It varies by state, I believe.

oh i realize that UM, I'm just saying that a year added to her age would have helped his case a lot.

I was trying to use a "handful of months" as a personified term for the young'un. Too bad I failed. I've got nothing.
