Intolerance of a parent acting to protect their child from a potentially harmful relationship...
Intolerance of somebody' "Suspected" religious views who is acting within the law to prevent further harm to their child...
Was the 15 (14?) year old girl less harmed because there was no penis to defile her with?
What I am saying, is that there wouldn't be people (like yourself) so fiercly trying to make excuses for the older girl if they weren't two girls involved.

So, you are of the opinion that the poster has a religious intolerance? Interesting. However, even if the view of the parents are 'religious', does it make them less homophobic if their objection is not age, but gender related? And the objections of the parents aren't suspected, they are documented, and they have cited their religious morality as the root of their outrage. ("Their daughter isn't gay.")
I didn't make any excuses. I simply corrected errors in the story telling, and gave an opinion as to what is likely to happen based on the evidence at hand, both in the OPs story, and from other sources. I don't think kids in high school should be having sex, but they do, even GAY SEX (gasp), however, I would be hard pressed to send this kid to prison with a felony conviction for having a sexual relationship with a willing participant. Then again, Im not on the jury.

and based on information in other stories, some of which are posted in this thread, they couldn't do anything about it until the accused was 18, soon after the accused turned 18 (stupid move on their part.. totally should have given them some time to have sex again.. however.. if you feel you are protecting your child, do you want to wait until your child is 'abused' again. Real crappy catch-22.) they filed the charges.

I am sorry, but all of this is purely speculation.
Can you source this beyond hearsay?
If there was no sexual contact prior to her turning 18, then there could not have been an arrest.
Two minors engaging in sexual contact is not a crime.
I also, hope you don't think that I am of the impression that the 18 year old is a predator.
That is not the way I see it.
The whole thing is very unfortuneate. For both of them.

14 year olds have no idea what they want. The 18 year old is clearly manipulative. I have no problem with the resolution.
