"Alaska statutory rape laws declare that anyone who is 18 years old or older who has sex with a person who is 16 or 17, or who is at least three years younger than the offender, can be charged with sexual abuse in the third degree. This is also a felony." This info comes from an article here that goes into a lot of detail on the statutory rape laws of Alaska.
I bring this up because it is directly related to what I learned about the father of Palin's grandchild. According to this article Palin's future son-in-law, Levi Johnston, is 18 years of age. Palin's daughter, Bristol, is only 17 at present. The couple has been together for more than one year.
You can do the math. Unless the statute has recently changed in Alaska, Levi Johnston would be a felon by definition. As with all of us, he is entitled to a speedy and fair trial and I would hope that proceedings are planned for the near future. As any right winger will tell you, you can't allow people to skirt the law or else society will collapse.
I assume that Palin is a tough-on-crime governor and she will be the first to call for his immediate arrest and prosecution. I believe in this great woman to do the right thing.
Sarcastically and Unfaithfully Yours
