Right. But it's at minimum statutory rape, correct? That is, if the rumor mill is true. Because we obviously don't know what's what at this point.


A 17 year old in KY cannot consent to sex with an adult more than ten years older than she is, so I would say yes.

I didn't say that they were rational or sensible, nor did I say that they are able to comprehend the long term consequences of their actions. But you know as well as anyone, that 17 year olds are fully mature (physically) women, usually sexually active (particularly these days when most 12 year olds are sexually active), and know damn well what they are doing in that regard. One look at that girls picture tells me that I'm right.

I hate to break it to anyone, but 17 year olds are no longer that virginal, halo wearing, little girl that sat on your lap while you read her bible stories.

Now, to qualify my comments, I don't honestly know what happened here, and was basing them on a comment that the judge "was screwing" the girl. "Was screwing" means it happened more than once, leading one to believe that she knew what she was doing and went back for more. Now, if he raped her, blackmailed her into sex, or otherwise coerced the sex, then I'll stand corrected and say that he likely got what he had coming.

^^^ No. I know that. It's been common for at least 20 years now.

Wait, do I have this right? You say all 17 year old girls are women fully mature and "usually" sexually active and know what they are doing, and from this statement it appears you are saying you can tell from the picture alone that this specific 17 year old girl is in fact in this category. Really?

A judge, screwing the teenage daughter of the sheriff, should raise a large number of red flags.

The age difference, as well as the power he may have/a teen age girl could perceive him having over her father.

Why would a grown man want a relationship with the teenage daughter of the sherif, unless something twisted is going on.

Today I'm told by officers who live nearby that he was definitely screwing the daughter, and also very likely the Sherriff's wife as well.

Dayum! Eek

That activity is a) stupid, b) flat-out wrong, and c) lots of other things.




God bless America.

The "He needed killin" defense might just work if the rumors are true.

If that’s true a local jury won’t convict him.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

You don't know that.

He murdered an officer of the court in their chambers. This guy is going to jail. You can point to all the lurid rumors- wife, daughter, but he's going to jail, probably for a long time.

As I pointed out- if the state doesn't get him, the feds will.

Sheriff was deposed a few days prior involving a former deputy.

Federal juries won’t fare much better. It still will have the same make up of rural Eastern Kentucky. I agree the feds probably will step in. But, it’s still the land that time passed by.

That's probably just a coincidence and likely has nothing to do with the killing.

Loosely connected. The judge was having female inmates escorted to chambers and working out “deals” to avoid prison. The judge is being sued by one of the former inmates, along with the deputy for transporting the inmates to chambers. Or so the story goes.

^^^ Yes, I've read about all that. That the judge was screwing his daughter, and perhaps his wife also, if true, is much more of a motivation for him to walk in the judge's chamber and blast away. Imo.

Letcher County? That sounds like a name straight out of Dukes of Hazard.

lecher - a man of excessive, deviant, offensive sexual desires. Root word lechery.
