By all means, I can understand your viewpoint. I'm not saying that if it were my child I wouldn't be outraged. Personally, I'd probably be in prison because the police would have found the body of the man buried in the back yard. But let's remember her age- one year above her legal consent. Once you pass the age of legal consent, you're technically passing into adulthood. This requires you to think for yourself and do what's best for you. This man did not force himself upon her, to our knowledge. He didn't get her drunk in order to seduce her. It was a mistake that happened between two consenting adults. And how do you know this man doesn't feel intense remorse over this ordeal as well? Did you stop to think that the OP is not the only one who may have moments of weakness? Hell, he may even try to avoid this OP for years simply for the fact that he regrets it too. I know it's hard to wrap your head around, as it is with anyone who would be in a parent's shoes, but some things aren't what they seem. I respect your opinion, though, and I'll agree with you to disagree.
