Reply to comment by Page-This in Police: Stamford woman sexually assaulted teen, gave alcohol to minors by jaydecay123

A casual acquaintance at the beach and few beers shared together should not provide basis for power dynamics to develop and become a factor. Age difference makes it a statutory rape, but there’s a huge difference in a young girl being assaulted by a dominant male at the beach and a teen boy not fighting back when he has all the opportunity and necessary strength to defend himself.

Your initial statement is the context for this back and forth:

>But if he let it run the course, was it really an assault?

Yes, is the answer.

Muscles have nothing to do with it…but, of course, we know nothing of the boy’s muscles so it really is a waste of time to generalize on gender differences of perps/victims in terms of physical features.
