[QUOTE="SoldierOfTheKing, post: 75970790, member: 136506"] Most teen pregnancies don't result in the suicide of the girl, and divorces after three years are hardly uncommon these days, especially among couples who marry young. Considered this, by killing herself this girl abandoned her child. Bouchard went on to raise the child without her. Who showed greater strength of character here? Does this give any hint as to who might have initiated the divorce? It seems that the law as it stood at the time was ambiguous. Assuming that it was illegal, that would mean that the girl or her parents [I]could[/I] have pressed criminal charges against Bouchard. If that had occurred, and he had been convicted, he would never have become a state senator, and consequently wouldn't be in the running to replace Cheney in Congress. But they didn't, so he is. Where there is no accusation, there can be no crime. Also, since you want to stress that Bouchard was a legal adult and the girl was a legal minor, it is only fair to note that since Bouchard was not convicted of anything, he is [I]legally[/I] innocent.
