A Florida high school senior was expelled from school and is facing felony charges for a sexual relationship she allegedly had with a fellow girls' basketball teammate who is three years younger.
Kaitlyn Hunt, a cheerleader and basketball player at Sebastian River High School, is facing two counts of felony lewd and lascivious conduct on a child ages 12 to 14 for her alleged relationship with a freshman classmate. She has denied the charges, which were filed earlier this year in Indian River County.
The girls were 18 and 14 when they became sexually involved, according to an arrest affidavit by the county Sheriff's Department.
The girls basketball coach at the high school found out about the relationship, told the younger girl's mother, who also works as a coach, and kicked Hunt off the team, according to Hunt's family.
Hunt's family says the 14-year-old student's parents are angry that their daughter was in a same-sex relationship, and decided to go to police, according to Andrew Gay, Hunt's uncle and the family spokesman. "Our understanding form the other family is the reason they initially pursued this case is because they're unhappy with their daughter being a same sex relationship," he said. "It would appear to be the case if Kate were a male this wouldn't be happening."
MIAMI — Kaitlyn Hunt’s parents insist that their daughter, a Central Florida high school senior, is being prosecuted for sex crimes only because her lover was another girl.
The state attorney says that gender makes no difference; the age of the two girls is at the crux of the case.

They continued the relationship AFTER she turned 18, thats what theyre getting her on
If she was smart, she'd take the deal and move on with her life

Incorrect again, the state doesnt NEED the minor to pursue and prosecute

The girl's were 17 and 15 when this started, not 18 and 14.
The parents didn't file charges until she was 18 to ensure she would be tried as an adult. The ages are important because Florida has an age proximity clause in its consent laws.
This probably wont go to trial.edit on 22-5-2013 by MichaelPMaccabee because: (no reason given)

No. That is not what the article says....
Straight from the OP's article source:
The girls were 18 and 14 when they became sexually involved, according to an arrest affidavit by the county Sheriff's Department.
Why are people trying to make excuses?

How utterly ridiculous. As if High Schools form two lines with a little wall between them for those who have hit 18 and those who have not? It's absurd. Kids are Kids are Kids and inside that environment? They see each other as kids, as I recall. It's not the radical difference of kid vs. adults among the students themselves.
Momma is bent that her precious little girl likes girls. Momma needs an attitude adjustment as I'll be her precious girl has chosen her path in life ...and giving a schoolmate a sexual offender record to live with, won't make any difference to that.
Not EVERYTHING in this world needs a criminal charge slapped on it, for a life ruined. How utterly pathetic.

That article is wrong. Do a quick google search for the actual information in this case. It isn't hard to find birthdays and names of those involved. It isn't even POSSIBLE for what the arrest affidavit is claiming to be true. Which doesn't impact the case at all, because those are usually just filled with the stories given to the police by the parties involved.
