There have been a lot of flames recently about all the facts surrounding the case, and I have no sympathy for rapists, but I can't find any reliable source that says JoJo is a rapist. Our local rag in NJ, the Daily Record, always headlines "rape" when rtalking about this case, but when you read the stories, you find that he was convicted of "impairing the morals of a minor", "indecent carnal knowledge", and the like. The word rape is never mentioned. So, was his crime a forcible rape, statutory rape, or what. Does anyone know? As far as I can see, all the flames on the net assume that he committed a forcible rape. If anyone knows what his crime really was, it would help me understand the issues in the case better. Please reply to the net if you have any info about this. Thanks. MAG.
