A billionaire executive whose family has run SC Johnson for five generations was charged Thursday with having sexual contact with a now 15-year-old girl over the course of several years.

How much would it take for you to drop the charge?

[Jacob]

$100,000,000 should cover it.

The parent doesnt control the charge, particualrly if the guy admitted it to the vitcim's mother, as the article states. If I were her parent I would push for the maximum criminal conviction and then pursue the civil claim. He has plenty of assets.

I agree. What is the incentive to settle early? What is the risk that a civil jury won't tatoo him? Let it play out.

It went on for several years and she is NOW 15? There had better be a special place in hell for people like that.

That is one reason I am glad I only have sons. With a son you only have to worry about one penis. With a daughter, you have to worry about all of the other penises!

Am I to infer that you would rather let this piece of garbage off the hook for getting off on a little girl?

He's probably referring to the fact that apparently put all the responsibility on the men/boys and none on the women/girls.

I wasn't talking responsibility, I only referred to "worry".

besides, how much "responsibility" are you going to place on an 11-15 year old girl? What is this, Alabama?

If she was >18 I would have no problem with a shared responsibility.

To answer the first question, negotiations would start with me, him, a locked room, and a field hockey stick. And then we would move on from there.

He may also be referring to the fact that boys are often the targets of sexual predators.

edit: now tell me why flywheels and tethered kite turbines are a joke.

I think he's just being a dick.

I hear with Cougarguard you only have to worry about one or two dicks, but with CUF you have to worry about a whole bunch of dicks.

because I laugh when you say them

I may be out of the norm here, but I have two daughters and spend no time worrying or otherwise thinking about penises.
