17-Year-Old Faces Child Porn, Assault Charges for Consensual Sex with Girlfriend

feedmecarrots · 2016-09-16T07:14:00+00:00

Given what law enforcement has done, this will not end well and nobody gave a thought to justice being served.

MaxBiggavelli · 2016-09-16T06:38:55+00:00

Of course, they don't disclose her name, but are more than comfortable disclosing his.

SacredWeapon · 2016-09-16T11:22:21+00:00

He is being represented by the public defender assigned to him. His family can't afford better legal representation.

This is an action opportunity. Can the mods get in touch with his family and set up a gofundme for them to get real legal representation?

Public defenders are why the likes of Brian Banks went to prison. This time we can make that not happen. He can get a lawyer that isn't completely overloaded, one who won't just tell him "plead guilty and destroy your life" as his legal advice. One who will fight for him...because they have time to.

...authorities charged him with sexual assault of a child, sexual exploitation, and possession of child pornography.

If they're both minors in the state where they are, and they both had sex with each other, why isn't the girl also being charged with sexual assault of a child and sexual exploitation since she also, by law, sexually assaulted child?

Of course the the answer is obvious, but the double standards are just so blatant I don't see how anyone can have any real faith in the CJS. I wonder, if convicted, how long he'll be sentenced for. Despite as many recent cases as there've been of 30-40-year-old women getting a few months or less in jail for sexually assaulting children decades their junior, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this boy ends up spending a few years in jail

I guess I'd better not jinx it, though. But even if he gets no jail sentence, if he's convicted for something like "sexual assault of a child" at all, he could be screwed for good

Tedesche · 2016-09-16T09:18:07+00:00

The article mentions that there is a pattern of police departments overzealously pursuing prosecutions on sex crimes, to the point where the spirit of the laws in question is clearly being perverted, and yet it fails to mention that the victims of these witch hunts are almost always men/boys. There is sexism here that is going unacknowledged.

MizterUltimaman · 2016-09-16T11:59:31+00:00

Welcome to ~~2016~~ current year

have consentual sex

go to jail for rape

And they call me immature for holding off on marriage

unbelievablepeople · 2016-09-16T09:13:34+00:00

Wait, so if you're under 18 in the US, it's illegal to have sex with ANYONE? That doesn't make any damn sense.

Snitsie · 2016-09-16T13:17:15+00:00

My father was 19 when he met my 16 year old mother. Scary shit.

I am Austins mother. Although I am not thrilled of the circumstances, I do know that my son is not a predator, an abuser, or a pedophile. He is a young man who has a big heart and big dreams. He fell in love with this girl. The way they treated my son from the time he was questioned about the sharing of pictures, the confiscation of his phone and Facebook account, to the day he stood in my livingroom in handcuffs has been unjust. He fully cooperated and acted respectful. Now I wish he didnt cooperate. I started a campaign on the link above if anyone is willing to.contribute to a decent attorney.

user1492 · 2016-09-16T13:22:48+00:00

If there's any justice, the case will be thrown out because the police talked to a minor without permission from his parents.

But really, this is example number 379,921,014 why you should not cooperate with the police.

Robz888 · 2016-09-16T17:16:58+00:00

Hello, I'm Robby Soave, the author of this article.

I know that the mother, Amy, would appreciate any advice or help you have. I can be reached at [email protected] if you have information for me.

I will also let Amy know that the case is being discussed here.

Thanks.

candyman420 · 2016-09-16T09:05:40+00:00

Kim's parents first found out about the situation from Austin's mother, who called them to let them know. On May 6, Kim's mother notified Super High School's assistant principal, Bill Punyko, that several boys were circulating sexual pictures of Kim.

There are the real problems, right there.

This exact thing happened to a buddy of mine. He served a year on house arrest, five years of probation, and ten years on the sex offenders list. It essentially ruined his life.

soylentcoleslaw · 2016-09-16T12:05:50+00:00

Kid says the parents gave him access to condoms and put the girl on birth control. Smart parents.

Kid hands his phone over to the police when they ask him to. Dumb parents. Never taught him to never, ever trust the police and never volunteer anything. Of course if he hadn't had the pictures and video on there, he would be in a better position, but what are the odds you convince any 17 year old to delete/not take naked pictures of his girlfriend? Not likely.

InterstellarSpaceBot · 2016-09-16T14:46:12+00:00

So two minors can't have sex? What is the fucking problem here every way I look at it he did nothing wrong. He isn't even over the age where having sex with a minor is a crime! That's 18. He's 17. Can someone explain where exactly the police are getting the idea he committed a crime??

mwobuddy · 2016-09-16T17:12:25+00:00

God this shit is so fucked. This isn't even about men's rights to me. They were having a normal teen sex life and now his name is tarnished forever. I was a teenager once and guess what? I had underage pics on my phone of me and my girlfriend. Everyone did. It's not child porn when you're the same age and these cops should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

mwobuddy · 2016-09-16T19:34:03+00:00

The difference is critical. It's wrong for a middle-aged person to view a child as a sexual being. But it's not wrong for teenagers of relatively similar ages to view each other that way.

Why the legal system still struggles with this concept amazes me.

2016-09-16T13:10:08+00:00

It's sad that the "talk" we have to have with our kids is about not recording your sexual exploits on your god damned phone and not trusting the police.

2016-09-16T13:31:15+00:00

I fucking hate people without common sense, they should go jump off a cliff, disgusting!

Just asking, Children can be tried for Adult sentences given the nature of the crime right? Or was it just the other side pushing for mature age and the law applies kind of thing?

morebeansplease · 2016-09-16T14:38:05+00:00

How the fuck can a minor sign their rights away?

Fuckinmidpoint · 2016-09-16T15:42:42+00:00

Never consent to any search. Poor kid, fuck.

Ultimate_Failure · 2016-09-16T15:45:19+00:00

I think the main problem with cops in this country is that they are stupid.

We need to somehow raise the prestige of the profession so it starts attracting better people.

Vandechoz · 2016-09-16T15:48:09+00:00

For once, this isn't feminism. But are feminists doing anything about it? No, because it almost always happens to boys and men.

DrDemolisher · 2016-09-16T17:57:26+00:00

And let me guess. If a 19 years old girl was to have sex with him, she would be accused of sex with a minor? But him with a 15 years old, he is considered an adult?

senracatokad · 2016-09-16T18:16:33+00:00

I am so disgusted and ashamed to be a part of a society that would do this to a 17 year old. They're only two years apart for Christ's sake. There are REAL pedophiles in the world and this kid faces up to 40 years for having sex in a loving relationship??!!

Astrrum · 2016-09-16T20:29:44+00:00

This is why you encrypt your data, kids.

EDDbDG · 2016-09-16T23:28:22+00:00

This is fucking ridiculous. There are actual children being abused by actual child rapists in your fucking state, and a high school relationship is what you choose to prosecute? Jesus. This is crazy.

jaheiner · 2016-09-16T14:50:43+00:00

Of course, cause adult female teachers fuck their students and get a slap on the wrist and no sex offenders registry. A kid and his girlfriend have sex and he's a rapist and pedophile.

Perhaps he can use some of that male priviledge we hear so much about to get him out of this one.

tobiascuypers · 2016-09-16T15:58:03+00:00

Wow, I live in the City where this is taking place and this is my first time hearing of this. Great Rep for us.

Seriously tho, this is terrible. As everybody else said this is more than just infair, it is unjust too. Things Like this is why I am subbed here.

wookinpanub1 · 2016-09-16T18:47:01+00:00

What's with the trend of removing or delaying the age at which young people have privileges (smoking age in Cali is 21) but if they violate the law we try them as adults at 17?

Could he (or his parents) ask for charges to be brought against the girl as well?

jason-funk · 2016-09-17T01:18:42+00:00

4chan will probably doxx her and call her a rapist publicly fir better or worse

What's next, charging male dogs with beastality when they mount a bitch?

iHeartCandicePatton · 2016-09-16T14:08:10+00:00

This injustice won't get the exposure or public outcry that the Brock Turner case did, because nobody informed the masses that they need to care about this one.

RussellLawliet · 2016-09-16T13:22:42+00:00

back where im from, the parents have to give consent for 16-18. its the parents pressing charges i dont think the boys parents are though. hence why it seems biased

MrKaru · 2016-09-16T15:00:12+00:00

Gosh that poor girl. This is why we need to purge Rape culture

Squez360 · 2016-09-16T17:12:01+00:00

If both are not being charged then why not charge her instead? Girls can easily have sex with anybody so why isnt she liable?

JimboYokimbo · 2016-09-16T17:42:33+00:00

How old is she?

Ransal · 2016-09-16T17:45:02+00:00

I just read a typical high school teen drama where the overreaching state decides they want to punish a boy because a girl made a mistake.

VojvodaSrpski · 2016-09-16T17:50:20+00:00

What is age of consent in the US?

2016-09-16T22:49:50+00:00

After discovering indecent photos of Austin's 15-year-old girlfriend on his cell phone

this is why he got charged. he was older but even then he might still be charged if she was older.

rg57 · 2016-09-16T23:15:11+00:00

Cases like this show what is wrong about the whole concept of basing sex laws on ages. Plainly these people are capable of consent, and are not harmed, except BY the intervention of the very law that claims to protect them.

It's almost as if, once we grow into majority ourselves, we suddenly forget who we used to be. Most of us were not moronic lumps incapable of making decisions such as "no" and "stop", or "yeah!" and "keep doing that".

RevisoryCa_krm1 · 2016-09-16T23:31:39+00:00

He looks so young compared to me and im only a few months older than him. This shit is scary as fuck for me to see

2016-09-16T23:48:18+00:00

I called a while ago. Ya'll didn't listen to me. It's gonna be illegal for kids under 18 to date and have sex. Told you so.

NeuroEuphoria · 2016-09-17T00:54:29+00:00

So who's starting the change petition to get this cop removed? He's an absolute fucking psycho; to ruin children lives over this...All of them! This is some sick shit, does the fucker get off to the idea of destroying their lives and having them file as sexual predators? - > Especially since, sorry to say, this is only one persons fault and that's "kim" she should've known better. Sounds like typical emo kids and their parents tho; their parents are always in some degree fucked up, the kids included. Source used to be an emo-highschooler Edit maybe I'm being too hard on kim too, this is all fucked up...they're kids :/

jason-funk · 2016-09-17T01:14:33+00:00

I think he needs the most sleazy, borderline lawbreaking, money hungry shark lawyer to try to get the same charges pinned on her as a counter

waferdog · 2016-09-17T02:39:04+00:00

The district attorney in this case recently lost an election after 20-some years in prison in office. It will be interesting to see how his replacement handles this.

Longboarding-Is-Life · 2016-09-16T17:41:00+00:00

Underage sexting is kinda like assisted suicide. There is no clear "right" or "wrong" way of legally handling it

mwobuddy · 2016-09-16T22:49:08+00:00

It gets deeper, though. The parents of the girl should also be charged as accessories to statutory rape, for, if stat rape is

contributing to delinquency of a child. imparting carnal knowledge on a child. defiling a child

As it is codified in AoC laws, then the parents, handing out condoms to them both and putting their girl on the pill, are directly responsible for encouraging two people who can't consent to have sex.

Therefore they are accessories to those charges I listed above.

Austin isn't a sexual predator.

And how is that established, my I ask Mr. Author? Significant age difference? Intent? What establishes sex from sex predator?

Aviril-LoL · 2016-09-16T14:23:07+00:00

This has nothing to do with men's rights at all. His girlfriend was 15. He had indecent images and videos of her. By law this is possession of child pornography. Having sexual intercourse with a minor is statutory rape. No exceptions. This has nothing to do with men's rights, but with retarded, conservative American law. If the sexes were reversed it would be exactly the same.
