The prosecutors and the victims' family disagree. Defendant has reportedly repeatedly violated the judges' order to have no contact with the child she molested and is unrepentant.
Should the law against child molestation be overturned because you and other liberals think it is "unjust"?
You just hurry out and make sure you contact the proper authorities. I'm positive they're going to prosecute someone for something that happened decades ago that he admitted to on an anonymous internet forum.
Since she's violated the conditions of her plea deal it doesn't matter.

I simply think the age difference between the two should make it legal. An 18 year old who has sex with a 14 year old is hardly someone who should be branded a sex offender the rest of their life. Its just silly. Its been going on for centuries. If you are going to prosecute this, Id say you would have to brand a huge percent of 18 year olds "Sexual offenders".
Not my father, he would not have necessarily thought it was a bad thing, but he would have had a lot to say about respect and safety.
Is a 14-year old able to give informed consent?
That depends on the 14 year old... so if two 14 year olds have sex, who you going to prosecute?
It does not "depend on the 14 year old". Read the statute and quit trying to change the subject.
An adult (as legally defined by the State of Florida) had sex repeatedly with a minor, and you think that's OK?
My morality is not defined by Florida Statutes. Again, I will tell you, I am discussing what "should" be the law, not what "is" the law.
Its not that black and white, I understand the line must be drawn somewhere, but that's where the human factor should come into play. Personally I think when teens have consensual sex with teens, the government should not be involved.

???....dude....a child molester is a child molester, even if he's only 18.....
I am outraged at you!
I disagree. Two people of similar intellect and level of development who have sex does not make one of them a child molester.
I'm willing to bet that a huge percentage of people who were having sex when they became biologically ready were breaking this law at one time or another. I would not call this 18 year old girl a child molester, just like I was not a child molester.

unless, of course, one of them is under the age of consent and the other is an adult.....in which case they are, by definition of law, child molesters......
1) Again, the law is not my moral authority. My morality comes from a higher source.
2) Where does the law call them "child molesters"?
PostmodernProphet

or in this case, lower....
???...well, if they are children....and they are molested.....it sort of follows.....
"It follows" is not the same as "defined by statute".
So the law can be flouted with impunity as long as the molester isn't too old, as determined by you?
Parents have no standing as long as their underage child "consents" to be molested?
