Why bother? It's a worthless opinion of a two-bit politician who served limited time as Senator until 1990 & ran for Governor of New Hampshire - losing both times. This is your source - a washed-up liberal who hasn't been in office the past 27 years? And the CNN hogwash you post too...

A Quebec woman has been in a jail cell in the Bahamas for the past two weeks, after she was accused of sexually assaulting a teenaged boy on a cruise ship, reports from the Caribbean island say.

Karine Gagné, a 23-year-old mother of three from Sainte-Gertrude-de-Bécancour, left on the cruise Jan. 1 with several co-workers.

According to reports in the the Bahamas Tribune 242, she met a 15-year-old boy in the casino at Great Stirrup Cay. The alleged incident occurred in the bathroom.

The Journal de Montreal reported that Gagné told family the boy was 6 foot 1 and had a beard, telling her mother that he consented. Gagné said she believed the boy was 18. According to Bahamian law, a 15-year-old boy cannot legally give consent to have sexual intercourse.

She appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on Friday and returns to court on Feb. 3 to face the charges of sexual assault against a minor.

Gagne's mother is organizing a fundraiser to help her jailed daughter with legal costs.
