BRADENTON, Fla. – A 19-year-old man who posted a nude photo of his younger ex-girlfriend on her MySpace page was sentenced to 30 days in jail.
Anthony D. Rich pleaded no contest Tuesday to child abuse and attempted child abuse. He is expected to begin his sentence in October.
Prosecutors reduced the charges from sex crimes that could have branded Rich a sex offender for life. He was 17 when he posted the photo of his then-15-year-old girlfriend on the social networking Web site.
Rich had dated the girl for more than two years. He posted the photo after they broke up. The girl consented to having the photo taken, but Rich did not have permission to post it, authorities said.
T_H – pause for a mo and think about it. If Florida were “Bush country” there wouldn’t've been a virtual tie, now would there? Factor out the Cubans (the older generation) who buy into the jingoistic flag-waving of the Repugs, turning their backs on the pro-immigration Dems who got them here, and Florida is clearly a blue state.
I’ve lived most of my life in Florida and Texas. Texas is Bush country. Urban and suburban Florida is not. The Panhandle and the less-populous north are part of the Repug-leaning South, and have more in common with neighboring Georgia and Alabama then they do with central and south Florida, where most of the people are. South Florida is a Democratish extension of the Northeast where so many of it’s residents originated.
And as the older Cuban-born Cubans die out and are replaced by their American-born descendants, Florida gets bluer all the time.
