Also young men who are 18 or older and have girlfriends who are under 18 need to realize they are at the mearcy of the parents of the juvenile if what ever they are doing is not approved of by the parents. Which will catch you a contributing charge. Now throw in the fact she was 3yrs younger and you have Dixon. Prime example to other young men.

I don't think they charged him with any race charges or her? I believe he broke the law and maybe the parents used the law to their advantage but he still broke the law. I hope when you have a daughter some 18 yr old who's in college is not trying give your daughter the sausage. especially if she is only 15. There is a big difference in maturity.

I also hope you don't pass this off as no big deal when you are having to hire a lawer for your sons defense if he should be doing the same thing. I'm sure the Judicial system would love parents who think this is no big deal.

Like I said, you've already made up your mind so I'm not going to argue with you. If you don't think race or class play a role in how the law operates then that's up to you. Sorry for hijacking the thread guys. Lets get back to UDFAs who signed with the Redskins please.

I made up my mind according to VA law. Sorry. LOL I went back to read the story and fell out laughing. I'm sure there are some race issues in that town and all the people need to stop wearing the white sheets but please. I couldn't finish it after I read that he pulled out his junk in class. Prank or not level headed young men don't do that and he was in high school. He knew better. Then it goes on to mention the inappropriate touching of a 14yr old. after track practice. Both got him suspended. Lets not be niave here and right him off as an angle. He's a perve. no big deal right. If he was white he wouldn't have gotten into trouble...right. I can see you have made up your mind. so lets move on.

I can see how you think inappropriate touching of a 14 year old girl is a crime, but they were making out. And that case should've ended with the fact that it was consensual sex. You're acting like you can't see things from his point of view. Did you not have sex with anyone younger than you when you were a teenager? Did you not make out with girls for fear of getting arrested for inappropriate touching?

I'll bite. I've got to concur with SC Skins Fan. Perve or not, he didn't deserve ANY jail time. I'm not sure what Puritanical school you attended, but I know an awful lot of 15 year olds who dated 18 year olds and none of the 18 year olds should be in prison. Dumb law and dumbass judge.

Not to bring it up again sorry. I did date someone younger and got caught. Thankfully the parent didn't hang me by my balls. Also times have changed and the law is different. No different then when we were young if caught with marijuana the police made you throw it out or wrote you a ticket and you paid a fine. Now you end up paying for an attorney, court cost, fine, drug court etc...

I started out with a simple joke about how people are holding CJ to a high standard but not other players. I was poking fun at some of the No to CJ fans. Did not mean to interupt a good thread. I don't always agree with the law but we all have to obey them. I don't agree with racism either. I'm sure the town has it's issues. I don't doubt the father is a racist. but if we were going to hold CJ to a huge standard due to his punching of a coach allegedly...then we should hold all the players (as fans) to the same standard. I personally don't care what the players do in their off time. I don't condemn Dallas for trying to get good talent. I think the whole witch hunt as someone mentioned is exactly that a witch hunt. The NFL should not be moral police. I can see drugs being an issue and steroids and major felonious crimes but they have gone over board with the morality issue. Same with some people on this board. Apologies for testing some peoples nerves. LOL. Hope all loved the draft.

I'm not going to quote it...but that might be a little out of line describing it like that

Oh and I'm sure a criminal would not twist the story to make him look better either. Did they even talk to the police or parents of the girl to get both sides of the story? Since I couldn't finish it.

The father was a well known racist and he said that if he ever caught her with a black guy he'd kill them both. Not exactly uncommon in Georgia, but not really common either, and for what it's worth I'm a white guy.

Many saw the case as racially motivated, especially when it was alleged by Dixon's partisans that Brown had claimed her father "would kill them both" if he found out because he was a racist. The President of the Children's Defense Fund, Marian Wright Edelman called it a "Legal Lynching". Also, the location of the incident, Georgia, spurred on the thoughts of racist bigotry.[4]

Character is moving rapidly from a general concern for keeping a bad apple off your team, to an accepted reason for drafting poorly.

It's kind of sickening.

You want to keep the bad guys off your team, but the NFL is about a half step from becoming a witch hunt.

I wonder if CB Martel Van Zant is going to get signed by anyone.
