Interesting discussion. I now see the point Rep. Fagan was trying to make. Thank you to those of you who helped clarify it.
I'm curious, though, why most of the men posting in this thread seem so determined to hammer home this idea of the "invented" victim.

But he would have had 16 years of fewer opportunities and victims.
