Sarah Huckabee Sanders appoints man who had sex with a minor to top state post
She claims LGBTQ+ rights need to be restricted to "protect kids," but she appointed a man who admitted to having sex with a minor to a high-level position.
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R), who has repeatedly pledged to “protect kids” with anti-LGBTQ+ laws, appointed a man to a top state prison post even though he had previously been fired from a local police force for receiving oral sex from a teen girl in a post office parking lot.
Jamol Jones, who Sanders appointed as chairman to the Arkansas Post-Prison Transfer Board in January, resigned last Friday after news agencies reported that the Benton Police Department fired him after he admitted to an internal affairs investigator that he had sexual relations as an adult with a 17-year-old girl, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.
"Sexual affairs with a 17yo" aka Statutory Rape.
These media assholes seriously need to start calling things what they are
Nope. Age of consent is 16 in Arkansas.
Doesn't matter if you have a position of power over the minor. If you're a cop for example
In Sweden too. I think. Or is it 15 still? Nån färsk torsk som vet?
Anyway, I think this is the first time Sweden and Arkansas have ever had anything in common. I don't know if I should laud them for being so progressive and enlightened as us Europeans, or if I should make me more suspicious of Swedes.
More suspicious of the Swedes.
Sounds like you want to fuck a kid.
We don't say shit like thay around here, bud. Go somewhere else.
I run into you everywhere! Hard agree, we’re better than that here.
See you around, friend!
Then let me rephrase, the only people who bring up the age of consent in this context are incredibly suspicious.
The top level comment is literally accusing him of breaking a law that is dependent on the minor's age. Pointing to the fact that he didn't actually violate the law because the person was old enough to legally consent as suspicious says more about your insecurities than the person who lives in reality.
He did break the law by having sex with a minor while being a police officer. That is a crime, and he was fired for it and lying about it to internal affairs. He just wasn't prosecuted because reasons.
Fair enough, I did not read the whole article, hypocritically. I decided to read the rest and see if is a violation of state law, but I would be curious if that it's statutory rape.
I'm so glad lemmy is different like this. Here's hoping we can keep it that way.
Someone insisted it should be called statutory rape. I fact checked. If you find fact checking suspicious, that's a you problem.
statute is a nebulous term with no legal definition UNDER THE LAW
Dude, dudette, they/them stop playing the fool
You know your arguments are frivolous and made in bad faith
You just want to be the troll because thats what you enjoy doing
It's like an addiction for you because you get your dopamine hit from it
Amogus
Do you know what the word "statutory" means? They were making a factual correction.
Incorrect.
Isn't she part of the cons? The same movement going on about "groomers" and with slogans like "save the children"?
When isn't it about projection with these assholes?
to themselves, obviously.
what the fuck
Gotta ask for ID. And maybe scan it cuz courts don’t care if someone has a fake.
Didn’t see in article: he would’ve been about 29 y/o.
Guys, if the thought even crosses your mind about her age or ID walk tf away now.
Haha I’m thinking for young dudes - at 30, the appeal of a near-kid (twelve years your junior) is probably lost.
Oh I know, I was just throwing that out there
I just thought it was bizarre that the girl's mother suspected that her daughter had lied about her age.
Sex with kids is a conservative prerequisite
It's the agenda.
This is dated three days ago:
Jamol Jones out as Arkansas parole board chairman following revelations
Fucked up that she lied about her age. Fucked up that he cheated on his wife.
Awww, just look at these GOP family values on display!
The Republican party is a mob of pedophiles
How do people vote for cartoon villains
TBF her daddy was very protective of sex pests too, which is how the Duggars stayed relevant for too long.
Once more for the people in the back.
Republicans are the party of pedophiles and Nazis.
Damn I didn't know she is a governor now... but of course. She was the lying disgusting face of the Trump administration. These people are fucking scary.
I don't think calling them out on their hypocrisy is really going to move the needle. They are basically gas-lighting sociopath trolls who thrive on sadism.
This is very on brand for these awful people.
Just republican shit.
Why is this demigorgon still allowed to speak publicly
Aaaah, the excremental. It all makes sense now.
the semblance is uncanny
Except for the eyes. No pupils means you can't tell if they're pointing in different directions.
I swear, the anti-lgbtq+ crowd must be a bunch of Scooby-Doo villains all wearing masks while doing evil shit behind the scenes.
That tracks.
And somehow none of us are surprised in the slightest.
It’s a just minor inconvenience
Seeing how this is arkansas, did the cop rape the minor before or after her shift at the meat packing plant?
That's SO Arkansas!
Seriously, though, Sarah Fuckabee Sanders is a shit-filled condom of a person.
Duh
Damn she is really foul, inside and out.
he's a child rapist. he didn't have sex with a minor. he raped a child.
Sometimes I really wonder if USA is actually real, or if it is some holographic projection Russian psyop. Wait... Wait a gad damn minute.
What da fook
I mean, I've had sex with a minor.
I was 16, but just pointing out that headlines can be meaningless bullshit.
DEMOCRATS are Pedophiles!
Is this a joke about how everything Republicans do is a projection?
I think you dropped this:
