Everybody in This Story is an IdiotA 22-year-old Nebraskan
faces 50 years in prison. His crime? Having sex with his 13-year-old wife. Yes, wife.
After the girl became pregnant, her mother gave permission in May for Koso to take the young woman to Kansas, which allows minors to get married with parental consent. The girl is now 14 and seven months pregnant.
"The idea ... is repugnant to me," said Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning. "These people made the decision to send their ... 14-year-old daughter to Kansas to marry a pedophile."
He said the marriage is valid, thanks to the "ridiculous" Kansas law, "but it doesn't matter. I'm not going to stand by while a grown man ... has a relationship with a 13-year-old — now 14-year-old — girl."The prosecutor's an idiot. The 22-year-old guy's an idiot. Perhaps not a pedophile, but certainly something's wrong with him. The mom who decided to let her 13-year-old daughter marry him is an idiot. The girl's probably an idiot too, but I'm inclined to cut her a little slack due to her age.
