Well, what did he do to her but????? And where did he get the idea? Certainly not watching Barnie, but it could be from watching Sponge Bob

did anyone see the Sponge Bob episode when he goes sneaking into women's houses and steel their underwear?

Isn't there a statue of limitations on this it will be 13 yrs when he will be listed as a sex offender

The statute is to file charges.

But then there's the speedy trial requirement. If they don't take it to trial in six months, the charges are dismissed with prejudice. The parents should just stand firm and let the DA take it to trial or not.

Turley agrees this is ridiculous and gives the legal scholar POV here. Pretty much everyone, left and right, denounces this prosecutor and prosecution. She apparently has also misused her power to get a gag order to suppress criticism.

Source. As always, be polite, be short, be definite. No threats, no insults, no lies. State your opinion and move on. I suspect she'll be getting a lot of them.

Notably, the girl (and her brother who was involved in the game) are the children of a powerful political figure in the county and was not charged.
