RAPE! She helped him RAPE!
GET THE FUCKING HEADLINES CORRECT.
A 12 year old did not "get pregnant by grown man." She was FUCKING RAPED!
Holy shit, it implies the issue here was the getting pregnant. There's a little something that occurred before that and it was called RAPE!
I would also point out the human trafficking by pimping out your own child. Really need some sort of extra charge for that one, something about abusing a position of power.
There actually is in a lot of states. There is a specific charge for, "sexual abuse on a child from a position of trust", that is specifically used for parental guardians. The charge is treated as a higher class than just sexual abuse on a child by itself, and I think the minimum is around 10 years for it. It should probably be higher considering people go to prison longer for drug charges, but at least its something.
I learned this from watching too many true crime documentaries.
Yes, that was what I was eluding too as well. Most nations have some form of tack on sentence for abuse of a trusted position.
Alluding to
Ah yes, I was indeed confusing away from toward.
I'm not sure whether the rape or the non-consentual pregnancy and forced birth is worse...
Then there's the fate of the child born to the kind of monster that would pay to do this...
I read this article about an underage marriage, and while it explains how they get to that point in a more specific way, these are still men who rape children incapable of consent. No matter how you slice it, it's rape.
