Hi. Love this update, but then your writing is very good.

Just a point, I am sure someone else has mentioned, the age of consent in penn state is and was, at the time of the show, 16.  So Brian couldn't be responsible for statatory rape.  Sos, but if you want that in this story, you need to explain that the age of consent is higher.  If for no other reason than to stop people like me scratching their heads and saying WTF!! :)

Also, in the show, Justin was eigtheen when he was bashed so, hopefully, Craig will be charged with kidnapping among other things.  Which will make keeping him away from Molly easier. 

It's a shame that Chris Hobbs will get away with a light sentence (again!!) for what he did but, hopefully, he will sue Craig into the ground, thus freezing his assets and not allowing Craig to make bail.

Okaaay, Just read that back and can see I am attempting to write this story for you, so, so sorry, bad Deb!!!  But this is what happens when I get so involved in a really good story, so it's your own fault really, for making it so good! LOL

Thanks Hun!

P.S. Please checkout the UK version, where a 15 year old Nathan (Justin) is portrayed beautifully, as a gangly, untried AND underage neophyte, by Charlie Hunnam who was 18 at the time.  Which was okay for us in the UK, but would, no doubt, never make it to air in that format in the US.  But be warned, it is much more gritty and in your face than the US version. :o

All my love...

Author's Response:

Yes, someone brought up to me the age of concent in PA.  I doubt very few people, other than those who live in PA, would know that and this is a work of fiction.  But that is why I haven't mentioned the statatory rape in the last couple chapters.  I won't bring that into the story line again. As for Hobbs, he has spent 2 years in jail already.  He isn't out yet.   I have seen the UK version.  In the US they knew that would be too young for anyone to  agree with.    I love writing and enjoy comments.  Like you said, it lets me know that people are liking it.
