Admitted sleeping with an underage girl.

If that part is true then it's a great example of why you should never, ever, ever talk to the police if you're suspected of anything. Unbelievable how some people will talk their way right into prison. If the cops even suspect that you've done something, regardless of whether you're innocent or guilty, the only word that you should say to them is "lawyer."

Shens.

There is more crimes that your friend committed that he isn't admitting to you or it's all shens. I've never heard of someone getting 6 years for a first offense on a charge like that. I sat in a county jail for a year before going to prison and all you hear or talk about is how long of sentences someone got for such and such crime, plea bargain agreements, first time offense, etc... That sentence is more in line with a full on rape charge which I could see the police going back 8 years to arrest that scumbag!

Edit: so I can say shens again.

I admit, 1st thing I thought was shens. He never said the state, but I would have to assume the statute of limitations would have passed.

There are 4 users that I assume everything they post is a flat out lie until proven otherwise, and this tool is one of them.

Statute of limitations (at least up here) doesn't apply for all crimes.

For instance, murder you can get charged with many many years after the fact. I believe rape has no limitation also. Then again, I did see a Law and Order once where the guy admitted to statutory rape because of the statute of limitations.

The problem is locking someone up for 6 years for having consensual sex with someone 3 years younger. If it was rape though, I don't have a lot of sympathy.

" For example, in California the statute of limitations on misdemeanor statutory rape is one year and is charged when the two people involved are less than three years apart in age at the time of the crime, if the two people are more than three years apart at the time of the crime the charge become a felony and the statute of limitations increases to three years."

Obviously thats just CA.


What state was this in Techboy? Or are you busy looking up state laws to find one that has no statute of limitations to claim he lived there?

This whole thread was a futile, made-up attempt to show that you have a friend. Sad.

you know, the whole reason I asked him nonchalantly "what state is he in?" was so he would shoot himself in the foot on either the sentence or the statute of limitations. Now he's obviously going to do his research and find the state with the harshest terms on both and voila, that's where his friend magically is.

Like I said, I don't know the details. I just heard what his wife told me since he didn't want to talk about it. I always thought 6 years for what I was told seemed trumped up, but I didn't want to get nosey.

Illinois, you know, where I am from.

And with how he was admitting it, I assumed it was a worse charge than what I was told since he was willing to get off his chest in exchange for prison time.

you do realize you bolded the wrong sentence, right? The correct sentence to bold is the previous one.

neat. I never disagreed that I wasn't told the whole story. I've always assumed this anyways.

Anyways, I asked what I could talk about. Any ideas? Regardless of what he did, I grew up with him, and if he's going to spend 6 years in jail, I don't think it would hurt to write a decent letter.

what's his last name? We can confirm what he did with a quick two second search.

So, much like Dave McOwen's great vinegar scandal, can we write this one off as a lie too?

I'm 2/2 this year. First Dave, now Techboy.

You're such a douchebag. I never even argued that what I was told was the truth. All you did was look up a law and bold it. Should I go to urbandictionary.com, look up douchebag, and bold it for you? Would that make me cool?

I have a friend in jail for 6 years, and I was told it was from sleeping with an underage girl. That's all I know, and I don't want to ask.

Are you a jersey shore brat? Do you fist pump?

The only way to save face in this thread is give up the last name of your rapist friend. It had to have been rape.
