Seems like another case of 'good publicity' before justice. Ugh.

No, it's me being stupid. I'm running on like 1.5 hours of sleep and I think I have bronchitis. I wasn't really paying attention aside from the title. My bad.

when is this consensual relationship supposed to have happened? and did they have a hand in her becoming a prostitute at 13? why where four men in their twenties going after a relationship with a child?

and at least one of these men is already in prison for doing exactly what he's accused of in this case
