what exactly suggests he's homosexual?

Probably the having sex with other men.

:Q

A man?

Well, I'm pretty sure it's not considered homosexual if a man has sex with a woman, so yeah, a man.

The whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing doesn't mean much to you guys, does it...

I haven't spoken to him in about 4 years....I moved 250 miles away. I found out about it because he admitted to it. I read it in the paper. :(

Once again, I still consider him a good friend even though these circumstances came up. I just hate to see that happen to him at this point in his life... I mean, he's accomplished a lot...it sucks to end up losing cash to the courts, ruining a kid's life, and getting 6 years.

That's what I get for skipping OPs that are too long. :p

You underestimate the power of giving yourself hope and motivation.

Depending on what state this happened in, it might not technically be statutory rape. This is an area of law that very few specialize in, so he should be sure to get a lawyer who is well-versed in the vagueness, intricacies and contradictions in laws governing the age of consent (depending on the state, it gets very confusing). In cases like this prosecutors like to capitalize on the ignorance of the accused and the defense counsel, so it pays to have someone who know what s/he's doing.

Hitler made a few (million) mistakes. Should we forgive and pray for him?

That's the second time I've had to point that out.

you have the right to your own opinion. I have never tried to force my beliefs on anyone. But I know that there have been times that I could not have survived on my own, yet I made it through.

Make your own decisions, but please think about it.
