Larry Charles, a 49-year old Philadelphia attorney is in deep shit after a sheriff’s deputy found Mr. Charles naked at the Criminal Justice Center with a 14-year old girl:

Larry Charles, 49, has been charged with solicitation, attempted statutory sexual assault and related counts, said Lt. Dan Bagnell of the Police Department’s Special Victims Unit.

“He had asked for sex. But there was no physical contact we’re aware of by the time the deputy arrived at the scene”, Bagnell said.

So…right now it looks like this pervert abused his position of authority and trust with a child and nearly had sex with her. I bet — and hopefully I’m correct — that Mr. Charles does a stint behind bars for this and is required to register as a sex offender once he is released.

Now, compare this with the case of Debra LeFave — remember her? She’s the school teacher who used her position of authority and trust to actually have sex with a 14-year old child. Except, thanks to bizarre double-standards when it comes to prosecuting adult/child sex crimes, Ms. LaFave didn’t get sentenced to a single day behind bars. Partly because herlawyer argued that LaFave should not serve prison time because “it would be too dangerous for someone as attractive as Lafave”.

Not only did Ms. LaFave never serve a day…but Florida State prosecutors ended up dropping all charges against her.
