Thomas, everyone, I had one more thought about Mary Le Tourneau, a practical one. Is it fair that she should still be incarcerated when she could legally marry the young father of what will soon be two children? Isn't that sixteen in most states, with his parents' permission, which we assume would be granted? Isn't he fourteen now? Regardless of the moral issues involved, it is statutory rape, and soon it will not be as he grows older. It is a little hard for me to imagine a man in the same situation being sent to prison for seven years for the same crime against a willing but too young partner, but maybe I am naive. Even second degree murder convictions seem to be shorter than that.
