Why isn't the father of Bristol's baby in jail for statutory rape?
Not long ago an 18-year old black man in one of the southern states drew a sentence of 25 years for having sex with his 17-year old girlfriend.

Are Republican Governors simply allowed to ignore the law now?

5. I think he might be a bit younger than her
From a post re his my space page perhaps 16 to her 17. Or anyway the same age. No statutory then, even if she was below the age of consent.
