I would not want to describe my sexcapades with my mother in the room either.

So, he doesn't want to testify, but we all know that he's told at least 100 guys about what happened. Hell, he probably has pictures.

A lot of "Crime names" sound odd, because most of them date back several hundred years, and the specific legal words have to do with the elements of the offense that have to be proved. Lawyers, being creatures of habit, don't change them.Originally Posted by NormanPride
Oh, I know what it means, and I know why they used it. It's a very particular offense. I just found it odd that they didn't use something more standard like statutory rape. But then again, I don't know the specifics, and I imagine that would require very specific circumstances.Originally Posted by handcrafted

So how does house arrest work? Are you confined all the time or can she only leave home to work?
