Marcus Dixon Video from ESPN

This was a case of a miscarriage of justice, pure and simple. The law enforcement officer who labelled him a pedophile appears to have an agenda and the D.A. looks like he's there to protect the white folks. Judging by other information available, this appears to have been an effort to appease the redneck vote in the community. As for teenagers haveing sex, better education about birth control, STD's, and the unintended consequences of sexual activity has provided some considerable success in various jurisdictions. More knowledge, not less, makes a difference.

maybe and possible. but i'd still like to know why he's had 3 charges against him for this.

My whole problem with him is this.....

Someone posted a story that gave the girl's side of the story. IIRC, she did not recant her story. She DID spend time in the hospital. She apparently had bruises on her face (is that from consentual sex?).

Now, Dixon is saying all the right things....and, if the sex was consentual, then I really don't think that's rape.....even statutory rape. An 18 year old kid in HS has about the same maturity level as a 15 year old girl.

But there were other issues as well with Dixon. He apparently tried to fondle a girl as well.

I truly hope we're right on this one.

Not true at all- The girl did recant the story. I never heard anything regarding the girl spending time in the hostipal as a result. It was her parents pushing the issue. I followed this story when it first happened. My neighbor is from Rome, Georgia, so the story received a lot of tractions where I live.

3 charges of pedophilia, 3 charges of rape or 3 charges or sexual assaualt?

Pedafile?

That would be something women use to sand down the calluses on their feet.

It took until Page 3. Glad I read the entire thread before I replied.

The Piggly Wiggly's real? I thought it was just a fictitious chain of supermarkets created by Hollywood.

Haha. No.

Piggly Wiggly was, actually, the first grocery store chain in America! Useless trivia, I know...
