Innocent until proven guilty not saying this is right by any means but 17 year old girls aren’t made like in the old days some of these “girls” are sluts. But I find it funny that you show no compassion at all but when Charles Lawrence was accused of the same thing if not worse you were all hesitant to say a thing just because you don’t know him personally doesn’t mean he is a bad person in my opinion I feel like if your are gonna post this type of stuff you should be fair no matter what not just because you didn’t know him personally like you did with Charles just saying. Everyone deserves a second chance.
I want to be updated on the Jackson Alvarez case.
