Remember this guy? This 27 year old guy from Pennsylvania had a buddy drive him to the home of a 14 year old girl in Bedford that he had met on The Internets. He stays with her on Sunday night (she kept him in the closet) but the jig was up when the girl's mother found him sleeping in the teen's bed while she was at school.
Well, a Tarrant County Grand Jury has decided the guy shouldn't be prosecuted. The charge was that of Sexual Assault of a Child (basically consenaul sex with someone under 17 years of age.)
From reading the story, it's hard to tell what went on behind the scenes. Either the DA went in there and said, "All we have is the 14 year old's word that they had sex and she really doesn't want the kid prosecuted anyway" or the Grand Jury simply decided to revolt and not clog the system with this type of case. If it's the latter, grand juries need to do it more often.
Edit: The more I think about this, I wonder if the grand jury believed that the girl had lied about her age. Amazingly, that's not a legal defense for the guy, but they may have cut him a break nevertheless.

The Guy That Hid In The Closet Is A Free Man

Hopefully I'm speaking in behalf of all Texans when I say that the girl's father should jump in their Hummer:
A. Rear end him (with the Hummer)
B. Run his ass over
C. Get naked with the 27 year-old's mother and do real nasty things like you see on cable.

Umm I wish you had a teenage girl. I think you might not feel this way.
Had this happen to me, the trail would be for me not him because he would have been shot.
Oh, this Man is not a kid.
I'm shure after the DA spoke with this guy it was found that he had the mentality of a 14yo,hiding in a closet..go figure.Look at the guy you can hear the banjos dueling in the background!
In a perfect world, a man (adult) should be thinking with his head instead of........
In the real world they often are not.
In the real world there is 15 and then there is "15."
butt he's such a handsome fellow and i bet he's nice too...
he's the new cook at armadillo grill, no kidding.
Personal experience - I'm a middle aged woman sitting at the bar in a nice chain restaurant waiting for my husband and I start chatting with a young girl sitting next to me. I'm guessing she's a sophomore in school and turns out I'm right. But I was guessing UNT and truth was Lewisville H.S. She would have gotten some guy in serious trouble.
what about some old cougar gilf...?
Grill him with the Hummer!

"the jig was up"?
Great, now BG's a left-leaner and a racist!!
What's next? Coming out of the closet?
;)
If he is able to go on the internet looking for girls, he's not mentally challenged. he is an ADULT not a "kid."
The girl is 14. If she said she was 17, 20, or 99, she is still 14.
Barry, you are starting to scare me. I know you don't have any kids. However, do you have any nieces?
Why, are looking to get 'set up'? You perv.
The dude is absolutely and unbelievably lucky. The universe is watching out for him- hope he doesn't blow it and ruin his kharma.
If it were me? I'd stumble onto a sting operation at a rest area or something. She'd ask for the time and before I could reply about 7 mouth breathing deputies would have me rolled up with Tasers on full auto, next I'd be going to the neighbors houses, "I'm required by law to tell you..."
Lucky but, I got a funny feeling he won't appreciate how much and will do something equally grandly stupid soon.
Barry, I wish you had a 14 year old daughter and found this guy in her room the next morning...I guess you would not have had a problem with it either.
The best way not to "clog" up the court system with these types of scumbags is to just shoot em before they have a chance to wake up in your 14 year old duahgters bed.
You liberal, ACLU, bleeding heart freak....
WELL, IT SEEMS THAT MANY LITTLE 14 / 15 YEAR OLD GIRLS DO ACTUALLY "WANT" TO BE ....BAD... BUT WHEN THE "man" IS 27 I HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THAT . BUT SHOULD HER PRAY HAVE BEEN SOME INNOCENT TEEN BOY OR YOUNG MALE , WELL IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE HOW OLD THESE YOUNG HOOKERS REALLY ARE! ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY POST ON THE LATEST FAD WEB PAGE "MYSPACE" THAT THEY ARE OLDER THAN THEY REALLY ARE, THEN I THINK THE HIGH AND MIGHTY PARENTS NEED TO PAY ALITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO DADDY'S LITTLE PRINCESSESS' . CAUSE IT DOES HAPPEN!! AND IT DEFINATELY TAKES TWO BUT GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS AND BOYS WILL BE BOYS! BUT A FREAKING 27 YR, WELL HE NEEDS HELP!
Why is jarhead winking at barry?
