There is no such thing as sex with a 12 year old, it is rape. Shame on US Weekly for using language that protects predators.
For context, the dude is 15. And the video might be old. It's just stupid to throw that into the same pot as someone violently forcing someone else to have sex.
Also who the fuck is Kim Zolciak?
For context, that could be a sophomore in high school dating a sixth-grader.
I hope you're just old and have forgotten how big the difference is between 12 and 15.
Edit: And if someone can't legally consent to sex, sex with them is legally rape. Take it up with the legal system.
All of that is correct and from what the article says he's a real shitbag, who used violent language to coerce someone to sex. That's definitely rape. I was interested what the legal system actually says, because 15 year olds also cannot consent to sex. However, many states use an age of 14 as barrier. Anyone under 14 is protected even against someone just 3 years older. So it sounds like this asshole can be tried.
Investigators are the ones to make that determination and they arrested him based on this video as well as other evidence. You don't need to defend anyone raping someone under the age of 12.
Kim Zolciak is a reality tv personality most famous for being on Real Housewives of Atlanta.
