"PTO president accused of sex with minor": notice its not called statutory rape.

That's because it's not statutory rape. It's "criminal sexual conduct with a minor"

Stay with me now: The charge actually used in this case is worse, with harsher penalties, than what you're thinking of.

Also, very few states use the term statutory rape in their codes.

No state officially calls that activity "statutory rape." Officially it's called a variety of other things, according to state law. In Texas, it's "sexual assault of a child."

At least the majority of people in the comments understand how wrong this is.

I support your headline VanillaSoul because the point is that the tremendous double standards in the way female crooks are treated in the culture, the media, and the justice system. Thanks for the post.
