Even the old JSO "reproductive age" argument can't save this one.

Better Headline:
Former World Series MVP, an Outspoken Christian, Charged With Raping 4-Year-Old
John Wetteland was the World Series MVP for the New York Yankees in 1996. His career as a closer was as notable as his open faith, the subject of a profile in the New York Times a year earlier, when he talked about how vital Jesus was to his life:
“I honestly try and walk with Jesus Christ every day,” he said, describing his most important relationship, more important than his relationship with his wife.
…
“My relationship with Jesus Christ is not lip service,” he said. “It is of utmost importance to me. It is even more important than my relationship with my wife. I know that my wife considers her relationship with Him more important than her relationship with me. Ultimately, that’s who I’m going to have to face. That’s going to be a great day.“
Okay. Sure. We can all roll your eyes and move on. But after his retirement, and outside of stints as a bullpen coach for major league baseball teams, he also taught Bible classes at a private Christian high school in Texas.

Fuck me running! I read 93's blurb as "a 14 year old", not "someone under 14."

Not apologizing to Clitz, though.

So what's your contention, that because he was a Christian he therefore became a child rapist? One led to the other?

Also, the way it is written, it may not be a crime, in Texas, if NOT "continuous" or if the person was 14 or older.
Words. They are not always taken as intended.

Can you blame atheists for this angle..?
Every American religious group makes claims that atheists are immoral - have no moral guiding principal

The "but they did it first" defense is one that my children use quite a lot as well. It's a highly productive tact to take.
