Convicted
What concerns me about this, and many other sex crimes, is, "what would have happened if the defendant did not plead guilty?" What if he would plead not guilty or tried to pull some "mental illness" card? I can't stand the thought of guys like this getting away with sex with minors and wondering how this girl's life has been affected.
I am glad this guy was convicted. I hope this trend continues although 150 days in jail seems like a slap on the wrist. I think 2 years would have been more appropriate.

A former Mission Viejo Soccer Club coach was convicted Wednesday of having sex with a 16-year-old female player in his car and at the teen's home.
David Christopher Hernandez, 28, of Corona, pleaded guilty in the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach to two felony counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.

Its Not Your Fault!
Rape is forced, unwanted sexual intercourse. Rape, sometimes also called sexual assault, can happen to both men and women of any age.
Rape is about power, not sex. A rapist uses actual force or violence — or the threat of it — to take control over another human being. Some rapists use drugs to take away a person's ability to fight back. Rape is a crime, whether the person committing it is a stranger, a date, an acquaintance, or a family member.
No matter how it happened, rape is frightening and traumatizing. People who have been raped need care, comfort, and a way to heal.
What's the right thing to do if you've been raped? Take care of yourself in the best way for you. For some people, that means reporting the crime immediately and fighting to see the rapist brought to justice. For others it means seeking medical or emotional care without reporting the rape as a crime. Every person is different.
There are three things that everyone who has been raped should do, though:

- Deal with your feelings.

Polanski Bought His Freedom
He admitted to drugging and raping a 13 year old child. He fled the country before they could sentence him. He's been living a life of luxury ever since.
What he did to this girl is too graphic for me to share here.
He was found GUILTY. He admitted GUILT. Then he fled.
Now she's in the media saying she "got over it a long time ago" but I guess the $600,000 he's giving her kind of helped her get over it.
I wonder how she really feels. Its so sad. Its a huge injustice. And all the actors that support him are justifying a rape! What if it was their 13 year old child? I have a feeling that change their tune a bit.
So he'll be back in his Swiss Chalet by the weekend.
