I'm seeing this more and more: child molester marries victim. There was a man in the news recently who married his underaged "girlfriend." Then that teacher who just got out of jail.

Is this the new solution? Marry the child you have sexually abused? Do they think that will keep them free from exoneration?

How on earth were they able to get a marriage license?

Grandma said the relationship has been "going on for 2 years" ...............uuuummmm and who has been allowing this???????????? A call to the police would have ended this once and for all a long time ago.


Makes you wonder ...who's in charge??? Grandma or the kid..geez

I guess being pregnant makes it easier to marry a minor in Florida.

What are the age and consent requirements for minors?


Both applicants must be at least 18 years of age to apply for a marriage license in the State of Florida. If an individual is under 18 years of age but older than 16 years of age, a marriage license can be obtained with parental consent. If a parent has sole custody or the other parent is deceased, the permission of one parent is sufficient. If a person is under the age of 16, the marriage license has to be issued by a county judge, with or without parental permission. If a minor's parents are both deceased and there is not an appointed guardian, he/she may apply for a marriage license. A minor who has been previously married may also apply for a license. A minor who swears that they have a child or are expecting a baby, can apply for a license if the pregnancy has been verified by a written statement from a licensed physician. A county court judge may at his/her discretion issue or not issue a license for them to marry.

This is sick and imagine it the other way - if it was a man and a young girl.
