The Ex-Marine and the 12 year old girl

Post by Steven Snyder »

You probably have heard the story, if not...

I heard this morning that the guy claimed he didn't have physical relations with the girl. I found that hard to believe, but my wife sent me a link to a pic of the girl and I have seen it. I now believe him completely...

If I hadn't already seen his picture I'd have guessed that was the Marine.

That's not the girl! Or, at least, it's a very bad picture of her. I've seen other pics in the newspaper and TV and she's a nice 12 years old, and looks like it, not like a man.

edit: after surfing the net, I think I made a mistake. Fuck, that's the definition of ugly :?

The girl is no looker and the marine looks a right twat, is called Studebaker and can't seem to tell the girl was 12, obviously a grunt in the stereotypical sense or a paedophile.

I have heard nothing "Oficial" on this but I have heard stories that Tracy Lords, the porno star, was 13 when she was in some of her porno films and no-one knew it. He could have been dumn, she could look pretty old, or he could be a pervert.

I saw it on BBC yeasterday. Interestingly the marine claims to be innocent. He says that he thought the girl was 19 years old when he met her on the internet. His brother who was interviewed also defends him saying that he would never do any indecent act with a 12 year old.

In my opinion the marine was not guilty, it was simply a case of misunderstanding about the girls age. He also did not hurt the girl so it seems that he did not have any criminal motive.

Why did he take her to France with him, then? Surely his illusions would have been shattered once he saw her in person.

I still don't understand why he didn't just back off as soon as he met her. Why did he take her to France with him?

Very good question. The British are currently trying have him extradited from Germany. Once he has been questioned by the authorities the the truth will be known.

I am not willing to jump to any conclusions about this particular marine since we clearly do not know what exactly happened. The reason I do not consider him to be guilty up to this point is that he did not try to kill or do something horrible to the girl. Of course I may change my mind later once the police have his confession about what he exactly wanted do with the girl.

Would it change anyone's mind to know that he was charged with sexual misconduct back in Detroit as few years ago?

Looks like I was wrong. He may indeed have had some ill motives.

BTW how do people like these ever got the chance serve in an elite and respected organization like the US marines ? Should not the US military be careful about people with perversions ?

The key for him is that he was never convicted as far as I know thus no convictions no problem.

Errm, the USMC is hardly an elite and respected organization. Just about all you need to do to join is pass the physical and survive Basic. Psych batteries aren't really a part of the screening process to join the US armed forces, though they should be.

Huh? One look at her and I can tell she's a 12 year old girl? Nope, looks like a 19 y.o guy to me :lol: :lol:

Just wanted to have have a good time with HIM as a travel mate perhaps? :lol: :lol:

She looks a touch young, but I could definately see where there could be confusion. She's now back home, safe and sound, so it seems.

well. isn't she....erm...lovely.

Evedently there has been no sexual contact between the two....outside of whatever happened over the internet. <shudder> So what does the Marine get charged with? Does the UK, Germany or France have the legal equivilant of the Mann Act (transporting minors across state lines for 'immoral purposes') ?

I have a solution

Force the guy to marry her.

This is a win-win situation here, and hear me out. As far as the age thing goes, just fly them to Iraq and do it there, I think their laws will allow it.

On the side of the guy this keeps him out of jail and will work to prevent any more instances like this, because he is obviously lonely. Perhaps the commitment and bliss of marriage will make him a more upstanding member of society as the years go by.

On the side of the girl, let's be real here, this is the only chance this...lovely...young woman is ever going to get at a decent marriage. She would be marrying a former marine, with the possibility of going through college and getting a good job somewhere. Also it keeps her off the internet market and away from the rest of the sexual predators out there, making her safe.

In my opinion, if there were ever two people that truly deserved each other in this world, these are the two. Who is with me?
