Hello,
My 18 year old son had a 15 now 16 year old girlfriend. At first her parents loved him and would let him spend the night at their place for several months. They gave their daughter the birth control patch. Now for what ever reason they are pressing charges for statutory rape against him. His defense is offering a plea bargin of tier 1 *** offender and 6 months probation. My questions; Apparently the law regarding tier 1 and tier 2 may be changing where everyone would be classified as tier 3. So what good would this do if he did plea bargin? His defense states that he would not have a chance in a jury trial. But what about the parents whom allowed the *** acts in their home and even provided her with birth control. According to her my space she has had other boys spend the night and have intercourse when she was only 14 while the parents were there. This is all stated in her blogs on myspace. Should i talk to the DA about the parents putting their only child in danger? They did after all give my son permission to date their daughter and have sexual relations with her. Shouldn't they also be held accountable and be punished? Currently we are using the public defender. We don't know what to do? Thank You
