I find it hard to believe any experienced moderator would make such an assumption. Especially when the reported ages make it possible he was 14 or 15 or 16 years of age.What are you talking about? It's explicitly stated that he became a father at 14 right before it talks about how under 15 is statuatory rape. That's the entirety of the discussion.
If it turns out that it's not a case of stautatory rape, then of course all opinions made on the matter change. Right now, I'm proceeding on the assumption that this discussion about statuatory rape somehow involves statuatory rape.
I also find this part of the report fascinating:
So, he is willing to pay child support if he gets to part of his daughter's life. One could conclude he is not at all interested in the welfare of the child per se, but only in his interaction with the child.He wants to be in his daughter's life and is willing to pay child support going forward. But he doesn't think it's right for the state to charge him for fees incurred when he was still a child himself or for the years he didn't know the girl existed.
Ok, that part, the bold part, isn't gonna fly and would set a precedent that would make child support case practically unwinnable, with the real loser being the children of AZ.
