    Your comment at the end of this article left me puzzled. There IS rampant use of drugs and alcohol, by children even younger than these girls. That’s not the issue and I felt a judgement on these girls by you. I wasn’t in the courtroom, but your reporting has been that the use was with the man charged, not on their own. Keep in mind that 15 and 16 year old girls are easily influenced by an adult they trust and shows interest in them. If an adult supplied the drugs and alcohol, could it really be that bad??? That’s why we have laws in place. So this type of grooming and inappropriate behavior is punished. And so it doesn’t lead to illegal sexual encounters. Because no matter the circumstances, it’s all illegal with a minor.

      Simply a personal observation, in no way was I implying it is not illegal for sexual assault, at any age, or providing drugs and alcohol to minors..they are both serious crimes in my mind.
