A person as young and immature minded as 16, and even 17, is easily manipulated by a man that is almost 40 years old. The fault does not rest with the girl, but with a grown man that took advantage of a young mind and easily manipulated feelings. I know Chris Smith and find what has happened mind blowing. It was something I NEVER expected. But I guess a person can never know anyone completely. It isn’t fair for the girl to be ridiculed, or talked about, by anyone. Instead of talk, lots and lots of prayers should be said for both parties.
