A 15-year-old boy in California was arrested in San Jose for having consensual sex with a police officer´s 14-year-old daughter. The cop said, "A cop´s daughter is not somebody you mess around with."
The policeman removed the cuffs from the minor after telling the parents that he was just trying to scare the teenager. A video was taken by cell phone that shows the incident taking place.
The police officer is now currently under investigation. The teen involved stated, "I though he would be a good dad by just showing up and talking to my parents rather than taking advantage of his position. I was scared, very scared."

Let's alter the story a touch just to see if it makes any more sense why I think it's ok.
The boy goes into an epileptic fit and is foaming at the mouth. The cop is off duty and is under no requirement (not being one of the boys parents) to provide the basic first aid training he receives as part of his on-duty role.
Or how about the boy gets drunk and starts to act silly. This cop, again not being one of the boys parents, is under no compulsion to make sure he gets home safely or to consult the boys parents upon it - as we all know this would be a huge overstated play of his position of authority.
Or how about the boy gets the girl pregnant and they each have a terrible life full of resentment for the other, an underloved child, parents who have issues trusting them and of course the debt that bringing a family up brings. Is it not in this cops interests to serve and protect the public to have taken action which could have prevented this?
Personally I would have thrown the boy in jail for statutory rape and started him on a criminal career after his induction as bitch for his cellmate - but then I'm not a good hearted, forward thinking cop who abuses his power by trying to make an awkward situation as agreeable to all as I can.

Seems I know more than you about it then doesn't it.
Age of consent for sexual intercourse in California (Without parents permission that is) is 18 years of age.
Go and look up statutory rape and see for yourself how it can be interpreted.
I am confident had that cop wanted he could have charge him, or have a colleague charge him, with statutory rape and place him on the sex offenders register for life. Had it been my daughter, and as a regular civilian, I would have pursued this to the full extent of the law and made sure he understood the gravity of his actions.
The fact that a cop chose not to follow this perfectly legal judicial process when his own daughter is involved speaks volumes about good character and preserved integrity.
Next time though you can betcha mister the cops will make sure that a mistake made by a 15 year old boy will chase and haunt him for the rest of his life via going the route I would have followed for fear of being told he had abused his position of power. This man as a cop and as a father showed real restraint, understanding of the two children's impulses and was trying his best to look out for them both.
I'd say feed the boy to big Bubba and catch him whilst he's breaking parole for the rest of his life. Keeps crime targets up and down and keeps my daughter out of harms way.
Or am I abusing my power as a regular law abiding citizen by saying this?
Perspective guys - get some.
