Random Thoughts 3: A Little Bit of This, and a Little Bit of That...

[Ryika]

A young father who had sex with a 13-year-old girl has walked free from court after being told by the judge to stop inviting “teenage girls around for parties”.

A court heard Jordan Lightfoot, 21, had sex with the virgin schoolgirl on the kitchen floor at his home in Rhyl, North Wales, in 2016.

The youngster’s stunned mum found text messages on his phone and contacted police about Lightfoot’s behaviour.

He denied sexual activity with the girl and also pleaded not guilty to a separate charge of touching a 15-year-old girl and inciting her to engage in sexual activity.

But he was convicted earlier this month and Judge David Hale imposed an 18-month jail sentence, suspended for two years, at Mold Crown Court.

Jo Maxwell, prosecuting, said text messages between Lightfoot and the 13 -year-old “made it obvious he was in control of the relationship".

Simon Killeen, defending, said the offences happened in a short period of time “when he was an immature teenager.”

Judge Hale, passing sentence, said it happened during a troubled period of his life when she was living on his own.

He said: “You became involved with a group of girls, people who were prepared to befriend you, and you were prepared to befriend them.

“On these two occasions you engaged in a brief sexual relationship with both of them."

“There is a disparity of age, they were vulnerable because they were even less equipped than you to deal with the emotional relationships involved. I accept you were immature.”

He told him: "No teenage girls around for parties or anything like that.”

That seems like a very lenient punishment for having sex with a 13yo and groping a 15yo. But I guess it's okay, he was only 21 after all.


Also, something's fishy about this, but I can't quite figure out what in the world it could be...

This is one of those posts hat could go to the rants or raves thread depending on my mood...

My new job starts in two weeks and I'm enjoying leftover vacation days from the old job until then. I don't really have the money to go on a proper vacation.
I'm so damned bored.

Do you need a videogame addiction to tide you over for the next fortnight or so?

Work out more, read more, and figure out all the free things in your city .

Can't do that aynmore. There was a time when I could play Diablo or Civ for 12 hours straight, but now I need to do something else.

I'm doing that, but it still doesn't fill the tme.
My insomnia makes it worse, and yes I am bipolar and am probably entering another hypomanic phase, which I usually enjoy but it makes it hard to concentrate on one thing. Yesterday I started to practive Mandarin again and learned some C++ that I had learned years ago and forgotten again.

I think it's interesting that the shortened version of our president's first name is also a word for a mob boss.

In the interest of correctness I think he was 19

Slightly/weird creepy that the article author felt the need to point out the girl was a virgin (at least up until that moment). That's relevant how exactly?

If evolution is true, then why do flies still enter my flat? I've been killing them for years to make sure that they don't have little baby flies, yet they haven't evolved to avoid entering my flat. That clearly disproves the theory of evolution - Check-Mate Atheists!

It might just be a matter of finding the right videogame.

Yeap. It's a conspiracy against me.

Kyriakos participates in the serial threads much more than you do, Perfection, so it's Xenforo that defeated you, not Kyriakos.

Q: Does an avatar with a crop out of your head cause a massive post count, or does a massive post count cause a crop out of your own head as avatar?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

They both had massive post counts before their current avatars, so the latter, maybe.

 

[Birdjaguar]

It the archiving of serial threads still drops pc, then the difference is in flux.

does that mean perfection's postcount belongs to mise

Statistically speaking the average person has 1 testicle and 1 ovary

The only possible answer to this is ‘radioactive monkeys’.
