SC Johnson has been listed on a criminal compliant which alleges that he participated in illegal sexually based activity with his step daugther. What is the world coming to, when you can't even trust your step dad? I know that this is a serious matter but don't you think that the news is just a little obsessed with sex-related crimes. I also think that, if it is discovered that he did what the compliant says he should pay the price for those actions. As American's, we need to take a look at what it is in our society that continues to produce this kinds of crimes.
First, is there really an increase or has the media created this epidemic? When you look at history these types of crimes have been around since the beginning of time. In the earlier part of the ninetieth century, many men had sex with children that were under the age of 17. (just ask your grandfather how old was grandmother when he married her). Why is it that women 100 years ago were able to carry on relationships with older men and now they aren't? Have humans change or did the society around them change.
The idea that children are to naive at the age of 15 to consent to a sexual relationship is a difficult position to take because 15 years old today are much more mature than 15 year old of yesteryear.
Let me say that it is wrong to attempt to have sex or make sexual overtures to anyone against their will. This appears to be the compliant in the SC Johnson case. If he did do this shame on him. The girl stated that he had a "touching" problem. The authorities stated that if he is found guilty he could get up to 40 years in prison. For touching, really
Tell me what you think.
