Teen Both Perpetrator and Victim of Sex Offense
by ilsundal at 11:26 am EST, Dec 8, 2006

Utah Supreme Court justices acknowledged Tuesday that they were struggling to wrap their minds around the concept that a 13-year-old Ogden girl could be both an offender and a victim for the same act - in this case, having consensual sex with her 12-year-old boyfriend. The girl was put in this odd position because she was found guilty of violating a state law that prohibits sex with someone under age 14. She also was the victim in the case against her boyfriend, who was found guilty of the same violation by engaging in sexual activity with her.

This is the inevitable result of a political climate which makes it impossible for lawmakers to oppose any legislation designed to punish "sex offenders," and where prosecutors are allowed to charge minors as adults.
