Re: Man arrested for announcing engagement to 14-year old on Facebook
Another newspaper with a misleading and inaccurate title.
Quote:
|
Nickson is due in court next week and has been charged with statutory sexual assault, aggravated assault and corruption of a minor.
|
Note there are no charges for the act of getting engaged.

Re: Man arrested for announcing engagement to 14-year old on Facebook
Surely the bloke must have realised that "announcing" it would bring it to the attention of the authorities?
