Ah yes the fabled defense of “whoops didn’t know”
NBA - Main
Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
It is possible, a video surfaced at a club which is a place where you would reasonably expect a person to be at least 18+, idk how well that would hold up in court though.
whoever screenshots for r/nbacirclejerk get me in it
This defense "I didn't know the age" doesn't work in court or society
It’s absolutely free to not defend pedopholes online my guy. Try it
If he didn’t, he is monumentally stupid for not making sure.
Wasn’t there other pics suggesting this was an on going thing? Not just a one night stand type of thkng
yes, hes either generationally stupid or he probably didnt know. The amount of showboating he was doing and evidence... he most likely didnt know. On top of that, the girl was bragging and seemingly wasnt coerced explicitly. Yes people can be young and niave (including Giddey) but i guarantee the relentless press and online mob is going to do 10x worst damage to that poor girls mental health than any cancellation that might occur. Motherfuckers are bored at home making absolute accusations on minimal information is fucking disgusting. TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR, i am not condoning a person in the position of kidding manipulating somebody who is naive and if he concretely did the wrong thing, throw the book at him... but the mob can be injustively irresponsible.
Common sense doesn’t fly in this sub bud
why did josh giddey have sex with an underage girl?
Mistake of fact (here, a mistake re: the minor's real age) is generally not a defense to statutory rape. It often IS a defense to other crimes (e.g. you're carrying a kilo of cocaine but honestly think it's baking soda, and can convince a jury of that fact) but traditionally, American courts have carved out statutory rape as a crime they don't feel comfortable extending the defense of "mistake of fact" to.
Of course, not to say Josh Giddey would even get charged with this conduct (at this point, publicly available evidence is shaky, and unclear if any other evidence is forthcoming), but if he did, "I didn't know her age" would probably not get him much traction in American court.
Does that ever work
it should be the first defense for every "minor engaged"
It’s also possible Josh Giddey thought she was 12 years old but was lied to. I’m not saying that’s what happened, but I’m also not making a whole damn post about it either.
