    Look at that yet another child predator who hasn’t been spending their time reading to children in drag.

    This is what happens when you give Christians Sunday off, they commit crimes.

      Suddenly it makes sense when they ask “without religion/god, how would you know not to sin??”.

        selection bias. people who know that what they want to do is wrong but don’t have the strength inside them to not do it just because its wrong tend to gravitate toward an external authority that will dictate and enforce their morals for them. they also, like all of us, believe that they’re more or less average, so they think that the dark shit in their heads is what everyone always experiences. They think that because they need god to bully and extort them into being decent that anyone who doesn’t believe in god cannot be decent.

        To quote Penn Jillette (from memory): “They say, ‘Without God, what’s to keep you from raping and murdering all you want?’ And I respond that I do rape and murder all I want, which is zero, and I wonder how much they want to rape and murder that it’s the first thing they think of when confronted with the idea of freedom and responsibility.”

          And honestly it’s really scary to think how many people are exactly like that. Maybe religion isn’t so bad after all if it’s protecting us from some morons feeling free to rape and murder.

        Since I don’t believe in sin I’m technically sinless. And I would say that to Jesus’s sculpted face if he has a problem with it.

    Why would he be worried about losing his job? He admitted to raping a child. Chick-fil-A owners will probably give him a promotion.

    When he gets out of jail.

          They may have despicable views, but let’s not lie to ourselves and pretend that chicken isn’t fucking delicious.

          Maybe you had a bad experience, I dunno, but I just had a spicy chicken deluxe sandwich the other day and it was fucking great.

    Arriving deputies, the sheriff’s office reported, said the father, who lives in the home, told officers he found Austin with his 15-year-old child and dialed 911.

    Inside the home where the child lives, deputies reported

    Why is the AI that wrote this trash so dedicated to reminding us that people live inside their own homes??

      Father, who lives in the home

      This is useful because you can’t just assume that the dad lives in the same house with the child. This is probably a detail from the police report that the editor thought was relevant enough to leave in.

      Inside the home where the child lives

      This is useful because it specifies that they are talking about the child’s home. With this being a crime story, they could also be taking about the suspect’s home, which was most likely searched after he was arrested. It is awkwardly worded because the editor probably wanted to avoid using the phrase “child’s home,” which could incorrectly imply ownership. Or, that’s just how it was worded in the police report and the editor was too lazy to fix it.

      The article is using a police press release as its source. The reporter may also be looking at some official police report. Police reports are not written like news articles, and contain a lot of “legalese” phrasing, irrelevant detail, and repetition that an editor would need to rewrite and cobble together into a short news article. This doesn’t always work perfectly.

      I’m not saying this is a well-written article, but there is nothing in here to indicate that it was written by AI. Just good 'ol human error.

    Just going to file this in the back of my mind as another reason why I would never, ever trust a child to be alone with an overtly religious person. Disgusting.

    Pretty standard for religious people. When you rape kids, you need a method of absolute forgiveness.

    Dudes got way more restraint than nearly anyone I know.

    No way in hell my first thought (or at least ultimately deciding) is to call the cops, I’m grabbing the baseball bat and beating some wholesale ass on the attempted rapist who’s trying shit with my child.

    No hate against the father though, you really don’t have any clue what you will do unless it happens to you. And his way is the least likely to result in either him or his child getting hurt, which ultimately is the real goal.

    Get your shit together, Ohio…

      Understandable, but beating the dude to death would mean losing your own freedom, and your newly-traumatized daughter losing her dad.

    So many questions, actually.

    From a legal line of thought, Ohio age of consent is 16 years old. The guy could wait less than a year and be completely clean with cops.

    But then, from the human standpoint, man is 49, what’s wrong with him?
