Bratboy, I reread my posting and i was not twisting words, i was just analyzing the case and trying to relate to a situation i was so close. i am not saying that the person is innocent, but ' a rape charge' and a year in fed pen is excessive. i was not in the jury so i am not aware of all the details but in light of the information provided in this forum and myself being a college grad who knows what is right and what is wrong, came with that opinion. And u brought race into this case. I have never heard a nepali girl passing out so an analogy is inappropriate. If it were a white guy n a white girl my stance would still be the same. In any case I am not defending that guy i am just analyzing the case at hand. Like u said life of a girl changes after rape. Thats so true. You brought the term pedophile in this case. I am saying that those terms are far away from this case. If the girl was made drunk by the guy or if the guy had used physical force then a rape charge would seem fitting but in this case none of that happened. Brat boy u said about south asians and come to the bed look. i have found that south asians think ten times before approaching a girl contrary to white hispanic n black who go banging into every girl. And again, i am surprised why this kinda case and date rape happen to only white girls. Am i missing something.
