7-year-old New York boy charged with rape
A 7-year-old boy from upstate New York has been charged with rape, a report said Tuesday.
The child, of Brasher Falls near the Canadian border, was arrested by state police in connection with an incident that happened on Thanksgiving, according to local station WWNY.
He was charged with third-degree rape on March 23, the CBS affiliate said.
The boy was released and will be reportedly tried in Family Court.
A Queens attorney who handles youth defense cases told the station the case is “absurd.”

I thought the law presumed that any kid under the age of consent was too stupid to decide for themselves if they want to have sex or not. So how can a 7-year-old possibly commit rape?

Gotta love the land of the free.
