Today LT got 6 years probation for having sex with an underage prostitute who was 16. Nancy disGrace, an embarrassment to prosecutors everywhere, is flipping because he got no jail time.
First, he didn't know she was 16. Legally that's not a defense but she's a paid whore who looks like she could be 19 or 20. Second, in the majority of states the age of consent is 16. New York is one of the few where the age of consent is 17.
Anyway, the "victim" was giving a press conference with her "victim's rights" attorney, Gloria Allred. She was talking about how she never did this before and how she was beaten up. Yeah, um, by her pimp, not LT. And of course LT should have known that this was her first time, right? Give me a damn break.
LT did wrong by patronizing prostitution and, technically, ingnorance isn't a legal defense with respect to knowledge of age. Therefore, he should get some punishment and did. Probation, is clearly appropriate.
I know I might get blasted for this but I just think it's a joke that Grace, Gloria Allred and Mark Klauss are calling for prison time and using words like "young child" and "little girl", as if he's a pedophile stalking kids at the playground.
Again, if this is across the river in NJ she's legal and he's only facing a misdemeanor for patronizing a prostitute.
