we have an update on kaelin hines she is the eighteen-year-old outboard added
woman who is facing criminal charges for having
uh... a sexual relationship with amaya gear
now lots of new information about the story and i want to clarify earlier
report we did so when the story originally came about their with their
were conflicting reports about the ages okhane so originally it seemed as though
she had started dating this fifteen-year-old when she was seventeen
and then as soon as she turned eighteen
the fifteen year olds parents
uh... went ahead and reported to police officials uh... new reports are
indicating that she started dating the fifteen-year-old
about the time that she turned eighteen
okay so she turned eighteen she started dating this girl um... was three years
younger than her
uh... and then of course the parents went to the authorities and that's when
she's facing criminal charges so that just got clarification right there
now the criminal charges that she's facing include two counts of mood and
lascivious acts with a minor
uh... at between the ages of twelve and sixteen
prosecution has actually offered her a plea deal and the plea deal
two years
house arrest
uh... here of probation but if she takes the plea deal
arctic she will not have to register as a sex offender
and um... you know she
it will also back be accused
his of child abuse
as opposed to die dag harsher
charges that she's facing right now it'll be a misdemeanor but once you
right get convicted as she will be pistol
nineteen plea deal of child abuse you can't work with children and let me
clarify that really quick check because originally did seem like it was a
misdemeanor but that is not the case this it will not be a misdemeanor
uh... right now that the defense is asking for to be dropped to a
misdemeanor in order for them to chose internally charlotte yes that the other
way she wouldn't be allowed to be a teacher or have any other jobs that
uh... involves kids right so it question is would you take deal before we do that
obviously
uh... i was like you would be the ritual story so i'd like to arrange for a
minute on this planet pie
feel that added over twelve percent r twenty eight percent of country
would be arrested on base on this long florida and that's basically senior
datya soft more freshman in high school
uh... when i was a c right in the sophomore i don't know remember what our
ages were
and minus sexual predator
early can i be analyst that my child abuser
it's insanity
i mean how do you
seniors if they decide was a freshman
in high school like i said i don't know if that's what was out of the country
or twenty eight years of the country
is ajay ajay at number this law is insane enunciate couldn't care less
whether she decided the are
when she was like seventeen and three hundred sixty days or eighteen and two
days right right and so yes there is a number at which you can say
maybe a five year differences satara
where look in your estimation did military school kid
honestly right
but if you're our school together you got to be able to date each other
at everybody should recognize that
candidates margaritas
but she's a lesbian kind
you know this kind of law this capricious than allows parents
to discriminate
against your boyfriend or girlfriend if they don't like it in this case they
didn't like it because she was a lesbian
in other cases like the famous case in georgia seventeen-year-old
fifteen-year-old
admitted to pass it like to say that he wrote was it was black
there was a guy or girl so sorry for you know you get put away for a long time
right than you know there was tremendous effort to try to get back to the
original
we got to get rid of these laws they make no sense whatsoever
now the real question is
de dot what existed or the prosecutors
or continue to pursue our which i think it's outrageous but totally is a
prosecutorial
discretion
what did you do you take a plea deal knowing that you could be considered a
sexual predator convicted
and go to jail you don't
i think is a super hard question anna bill no i do not take the plea deal the
reason why i do not is because i don't believe that she did anything wrong in
this situation at all and i don't care if it is a heterosexual relationship
and apparently it is a l u know india relationship
and characters and foreign and carl it doesn't matter to me and care
and some people are making the argument all that was a boy you would change your
mind no one wanted my boy from when i was sixteen my belief it was eighteen
years old the idea of the ending prosecuted and being charged with
criminal charges is rediculous he was not a threat to society and in this case
having katelyn hut spent two years of her life at this stage
under house arrest would destroy her life this is when eighteen-year-olds go
out there they establish their careers they figure out what they want to do
they go to college
this is gonna really put her behind
i don't think that she's she's she should be guilty of child abuse
so no i wouldn't take the plea deal the one thing that i would also note is
um... there their are uh... romeo and juliet considerations okay
and these are considerations where
the couple
is no more than four years apart
so if she does go to court this is something that could be taken into
consideration so even if she loses she might not want to go on a sex offender
lipschitz right so that's cues that equation as to whether you want to go to
court and uh... right i'm curious what the chief justice they so this could go
away
thoughts to take a plea deal or not that's a big risk you take it if you go
to trial
yeah i think the risk is too high
and if
part of the plea deal is that i could still go to school
you know that the only thing i could do
high-priority depleted of the video of the ways and what you complete your
personal from school
talked-about now at eighteen i mean it's like it you can even do anything right
onto the list of level these entitled which she said to go to college where
she they got me interested in the house arrest yes taka villages in their prison
there some kind of
like my perhaps friends who've got in the united we stand right work
you know as the exceptions so i am analysis house arrest that we don't like
details about service words
but my guess is the be hard-pressed to do
university right you might be it will be something online
our caller that
gently restores gentleman uh... custody if she no such as good representation of
good lara know that i would not take the plea deal
its effects some screwy florida lawyer on the negative
worse than take the politic
ascendancy out of the leaders in football than i thought this was was a
good thing the only you work
so i guess that means uh... i'm a bit of a tie-breaker i could
credit card debt decides undecided
don't take a preview
and he here's
the main reason why look if you play the odds cases might be right
better safe than sorry that why the president when it was a for a long time
its florida to keep that in my they're crazy down right when you shoot someone
don't let you go but if you actually make out with something on my god it
could be in prison for a long long time
uh... but on principle
u_k_ cuz you didn't do anything wrong
so i i just couldn't even if i wanted to know i thought the equation make sense
but couldn't bring myself to go to the core and say yes i'm a child abuser
and i have put me in jail is not guilty of doing anything as you mentioned
that's right
as i mentioned shaky you see this kind of stuff happened all the time with the
you know within high schools
ever at my high school
there wasn't a senior of female senior who was dating a male junior nagy
on-site freshman so there was a four-year difference there right
and everyone was fun
with it because they're in the same age group ok she's not a predator he is not
being a victim he wanted to be in that relationship and they're still together
today this is like ten years ago
is suddenly cases people get arrested
and then they want to marry the person 'cause they were actually boyfriend
girlfriend and i a stronger
it but still though rana sex federalists
we had cases lost their antiquated they're ridiculous
there's gotta be a real
at least a five-year barrier between
uh... the groups here and whatever you do i mean for christ sake in florida it
is a real case let her go
