Man acquitted of luring because deceiving teen girl pretended to be older
October 23, 2008 · By Charles Anthony
An under-age girl publishes that she is 16 years old to engage older men into sex and then a man is charged with luring. What is wrong with this picture?? I think many things are wrong. One of them is the prospect of the man being convicted. Luckily for one Calgary man, he was acquitted in such a sordid story. Oddly, the girl’s mother seems to be having trouble facing reality:
The girl’s mother was upset by Wednesday’s ruling, saying she believes the onus was on Armstrong to determine the girl’s age.
“My daughter’s life has been changed because of this,” she said. “We don’t have our little girl any more. She has problems with her peers and she has problems making friends.”
Lady, where have you been? Clearly, you do not know your daughter. [It would make more sense to blame rock and roll like they used to do!] Whatever “changed” your little girl happened long before this trial and likely long before she sent naked pictures of herself to older men on the internet.
Call me a knuckle-dragger if you want but I have to ask: What does her father have to say about all of this??? Can we get a quote from him too? I think this girl is a victim of bad parenting. Compared to her peers, the main difference in this kid’s environment is her home.
