Turns out we now have a little more data on one of the victims:
So...how many of you, at nineteen, had girlfriends who were about sixteen? I'm betting more than are willing to admit it.
Incidentally, the age of consent in Maine is 16 (according to the article). This guy definitely needed to be murdered for not waiting two weeks; that sounds just and righteous.
http://www.boston.com/news/local/maine/articles/2006/04/18/sex_crime_disclosure_questioned/One of the two Maine sex offenders killed by an apparent vigilante was listed in the state's online registry because of a 2002 conviction for having sex with a minor when he was 19.
The death of William Elliott, 24, is reigniting the national debate over sex offender registries. His anguished mother said yesterday that he should not have been on the same list as criminals who preyed on children.
He had been convicted of having sex with a girlfriend who was two weeks shy of her 16th birthday, the mother said.
