This 19 year old drove 7 hours from Cherokee to Spring Lake to have sex with a 12 year old girl according to the story in the Fayetteville Observer.

Just curious...where does it say it was a female? All I have read so far indicates a minor. The charge of first-degree statutory rape indicates that he had sex with a minor under 13 years old. The police will be able to learn alot by the communications between the minor and the accused on their FB accounts. It is a shame that another young person has been a victim of a crime that will change their life forever.

He's 19 and yes what is the age of the girl? Now's he will have to register if convicted as a sex offender! Still a lot of not thinking with the mind as opposed to other things!

I bet the girl claimed she was older, or she looked older and he didn't think to ask. If that is the case, he should have checked for a license. Oh don't have one? Not interested. Simple as that. Many older fish in the sea. Now he is a sex offender for life. What a waste.

It says Juvenile,it does not say male/female boy or girl?????.....Were they 17 that is considered a minor even if they are minutes away from becoming 18 and an adult?

It's sad to think what these teens now a days do - from shooting to molesting - I am so thankful I was born/raised years ago - the times have truely changed!!

OK, he's 19, and you're referring to him as a 'teen.' In other cases, you refer to 18 year olds as 'men.'

There's a difference. Go with one or the other to avoid seeming to have a racial bias.
