I Have Only Two Words For This Statutory-Rape Case. JURY NULLIFICATION!

Now comes a news story out of Florida in which a 17-year-old boy actively and aggressively sought a sexual relationship with a woman in her forties named Melissa Gannon, and then he turned around and reported her to the police. Nothing in his story indicates that he was actually sexually abused or even groomed, even though the evidence of sexual contact and penetration is there. For this reason, I don't like the term "statutory rape," because more often than not nobody gets raped in this so-called crime.

In his video below, Steven Robert Whitsett gives the entire heads-up about this same news story. What is surprising is that he actually agrees that Ms. Gannon should have gotten some jail time for what she did, even though again and again he has made it no secret that he is not an avid fan of American statutory-rape laws.

Steven Robert Whitsett Provides A Breakdown Of Facts About An Incident In Which A Teenage Boy Had Consensual Sex With A Middle-Aged Woman

I remember an edition of the daytime television talk show named The Jenny Jones Show in which a middle-aged woman had a similar story to tell. That is, she was in her forties and had been dating her teenage daughter's former 17-year-old boyfriend.

This one self-proclaimed child advocate named Roger O'Keefe also appeared on that same talk show to promote his book titled Trusting Faces Violating Private Places, and he insisted that this woman was a child molester. Oh, brother! That same book is now out of print. Hmmm. I wonder why. This jerk was such a joke that it's not even funny. Pardon the expression. The middle-aged woman clearly had no use for Mr. O'Keefe, and neither did I.

The news story above about Ms. Gannon also makes me think of the time when California was still prosecuting 14-year-old boys on charges of statutory rape for having consensual sexual relations with 17-year-old girls as recently as the 1990s. It's that ridiculous.

Nobody got pregnant. We can thank our lucky stars that this 17-year-old boy did not get Ms. Gannon's teenage daughter pregnant. This young man's head did not fall off from the sexual experiences he accumulated with this woman. The police could have spent the taxpayers' money on better things than this investigation of theirs that really amounted to nothing more than a witch hunt.

Why did this 17-year-old boy go to the police? My guess is about as good as yours. For all we know, his parents could have threatened to disinherit him if he didn't do so. If that were so, it would only give our elected officials additional reasons to change the inheritance laws throughout our nation to eliminate parental testamentary freedom once and for all.

I respect Mr. Whitsett's opinion, although I do find it somewhat bizarre that he would ever condone anything connected with American statutory-rape laws since he fell prey to those same laws himself so many years ago. There are buildings getting blown up and babies being murdered. Why do our police need to be wasting their time on frivolous and malicious sex cases like this one? For this reason, I have to insist that Ms. Gannon's criminal case would warrant an acquittal as a result of jury nullification.

Nobody should remain on the sex-offender registry for life for doing something that merely amounts to nothing more than a harmless midlife crisis as with the case of Ms. Gannon. French President Emmanuel Macron went through similar circumstances as this 17-year-old boy did, and his older lover is now the First Lady of France; and I have no problem with that fact.

Florida is notorious for being another Puritanical black hole that is not much different from 17th century New England back during the Salem witch trials. The sex-offender registry in our nation is gradually evolving into a moneymaking scam that really doesn't do anything to stop dangerous and heinous sex crimes against innocent victims. Norman Michael Achin can confirm that fact for you in his video below.

Norman Michael Achin Describes How The Sex-Offender Registry Is Becoming A Moneymaking Scam Here In The United States

So, what Mr. Achin has indicated in his video above is that there is a movement among state jurisdictions here in our nation to charge people money for being forced to stay on the sex-offender registry despite that they may be innocent of the criminal charge or charges for which they were convicted or they were convicted of some frivolous and malicious sex charge. It's really adding insult to injury.

In any event, most everyone in the comments section to Mr. Whitsett's video above maintained a consensus that the 17-year-old boy did not really suffer any kind of abuse. When he was interviewing with a female police officer, he sounded like he was engaging in boys' locker room talk.

After Mr. Whitsett had a brush with the Floridian sex laws so many years ago, he eventually did the smart thing and fled from the United States to Europe. He went through the German court system to get a protective order against extradition back to the United States. I commend his tenacity in doing so. Unfortunately, this same course of action doesn't always work out so well for every American that falls into similar circumstances as he did. In his video below, Ahmad Jamal Blakemore explains the upside and downside of it in detail.

Ahmad Jamal Blakemore Explains Whether A Sex-Offender Registrant Here In The United States Should Expatriate

According to Mr. Blakemore, leaving the United States for good is easier said than done, even though there are registrants that have benefitted greatly from it. Mr. Blakemore has definitely gone through his fair share of hardships and difficulties here in the United States because of his sex-offender status.

Ladies and gentlemen? The war against sex here in the United States has reached its breaking point. Our sex laws are beginning to resemble the laws against witchcraft that existed in 17th century New England back during the Salem witch trials. The sex-offender registry has become a much more extreme form of McCarthyism than McCarthyism itself.

If an elected official has shown to be fanatical about pushing for harsher sex laws, then we need to vote him or her out of office. I am all in favor of passing laws that protect our most vulnerable members of society from sexual abuse and sexual exploitation. However, I find it very offensive that we actually have statutes on the law books that treat teenage sex as a form of child molestation.

If the sex-offender registry cannot be managed in a fair and just manner, then it needs to be eliminated altogether. Vigilantism is on the rise, and violent homicides are ensuing as a result. We don't want to go back to the days when people were falsely accused of witchcraft and then burned at the stake. Sometimes I sense that we've already done so. Our sex-offender registries have definitely become a product of government overreach.
