A Lancaster County judge sentenced Zachary Scheich last week after he pleaded no contest in July to first-degree sexual assault, attempted first-degree sexual assault, generation of child pornography


age 19 or over

He had forged documentation like he was trying to rob a bank. He even had someone play the part of his mom. That's a lot of fucking effort just to have sex with high schoolers. Fuck this guy.

You know why they call him Tommy Soda right?

Don't be bashful, we all know you're hung like a Coke can

One of the tall boys too.

If he wanted to fuck high schoolers, he should have run for office as a Republican

“That’s the cool thing about a life sentence, man… I keep getting older, but it stays the same length.”

That's what she said....

It'd be a lot cooler if you did.

Was this him?

"pleaded no contest in July to... generation of child pornography — age 19 or over."

Wait, what? How does that work?

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Basically the idea is that if you are 18 and your Gf/Bf is 16 and you take some dirty videos together it’s not child porn. Once you turn 19, it is.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Got it... the way it's phrased made it sound like child porn of someone aged 19 or older and I was like 🤔

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Note that I’ve never heard of this concept but that was my reading. Think this is probably response to the 2010s when idiot prosecutors were sending teenagers to jail for child porn when they took pictures of themselves to share with their bf/gf.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 18 points 1 month ago

So called "Romeo and Juliet" laws. If high schoolers are dating when both are underaged and one person turns 18, it's meant to protect the 18 year old from sudden sexual assault charges.

Sometimes it's defined as a year gap, like "you can be 2 years older and still date, but no more."

Oh sure. But when Drew Barrymore does it, it's cute.

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Catholics or the Cleveland Commanders bout to pick up this POS faster than a 5 sec rule save

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He’s cute. He could have gotten laid. Going to all that trouble for a teenager? Jfc. What waste of your life.

[–] Llewellyn@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

We are not masters of our heads. Not to the full extent.

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The Family Guy version of this went way different. No toad problem here I guess.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wtf 27 looks nothing like 17. What's his skin routine to pull this off or does this town have a meth problem?

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

And socially he had to stick out like a sore thumb I'm not far from his age and I swear from talking to my teenage niece that teenagers are just from another planet
