What a story from the Hamilton County, Tennessee courts building; a man charged with molesting a teen, is actually a woman!

In court today, Prosecutors revealed that 42 year old Alexander Cross is actually a woman. Her given name is Elaine Cross, she legally changed it to Alexander. How did prosecutors find out Cross was a woman? After she had been in the Hamilton County jail for 10 days in January, someone noticed she was actually a female while she was taking a shower. She was immediately moved to female isolation.

According to news reports, Cross was charged with performing oral sex on a 15 year old victim. And prosecutors said today, that the victim fell in love with Cross, thinking she was a he. The young girl was reportedly stunned to find out Cross was a woman.

Judge Rebecca Stern approved a plea agreement today. One charge was dismissed, and Cross pleaded guilty to felony statutory rape. She received a two year prison sentence, all of it suspended, and will be put on unsupervised probation for six years. She also has to register as a sex offender. Judge Stern also said she must change her driver's license so that it lists her as a female, not a male.

Got off easy it seems.

double standards eh?

[Jessterw]

Appears someone had second thoughts about their post

And yes, I would say it's most definitely a double-standard at play. A true male would have received a much harsher sentence with the degree of leniency granted.

Well, I'm torn see. I'm a parent, so ... ick. But I'm also a red-blooded male, and most men lust after 15-year-olds, so...

and not a single one of us hasn't lusted after a 15-year-old, so...

Not past age 20, speak for yourself.

There, I fixed it.

perv
Well I can say I have admired the occasional young lady's form, but never lusted.
I've got a daughter just coming 13, so maybe my perceptions have been drastically altered of late.

Well obviously most men can find younger women (as in 15 years or whatever) attractive, but these things go beyond just mere physical attraction. There's nothing about a girl under the age of, say, 21 that I find attractive enough that I would want to pursue a relationship with.

Garn!!! If you found yourself on the proverbial desert island with a luscious and willing 17-y.o., do you mean to say that you would live a life of priestly celibacy?

[Jessterw]

Keyword there was 'relationship'

And I was speaking within the realm of normal life. Desert islands and nuclear holocausts are slightly different situations.

See you're more relationship minded than most middle-aged pervs, so ... *shrug*

[Jessterw]

I'll let you know when I get a little closer to being middle-aged
