Robert Pattinson On Statutory Rape
(THIS IS CLEARLY NOT MEANT TO BE REAL YOU MORONS)
Today I speak to you not as Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, the actor adored by millions of teen and pre-teen girls alike. Instead, I speak to you as Robert Pattinson, an individual who can no longer remain silent while a terrible injustice goes unchallenged from New York to New Zealand. Of course, I’m talking about so-called “statutory rape” laws.
The original purpose of these outdated, sexist laws was to protect the virginity of young, unwed girls. The thinking at the time was that if an unwed girl lost her virginity her family would not be able to find her a willing spouse. Why do we still act like a 16-year-old girl’s virginity is so special? It isn’t! Trust me.
Another problem with the idea of statutory rape is the arbitrary nature of the so-called “age of consent.” In some jurisdictions, such as California, the age of consent is a staggering 18-years old, which is well beyond a typical girl’s “celebrity crush” phase. In more progressive areas such as Arkansas and Albania, the age of consent can be as low as 14. Now, am I to believe that a random 14-year-old girl in Arkansas is somehow more mature and better able to choose a sex partner than a hypothetical 16-and-a-half year-old girl from Santa Monica who, as it happens, lives twenty minutes away and is totally obsessed with vampires? Who in the hell decided that? Hitler?

Sorry, Mr. Pattinson, I can’t agree with you. I am pretty liberal when it comes to issues of sex and morality but I do believe the age of consent laws are put in place for the protection of minors, both female and male. I really feel that young girls with crushes on celebrities are way too vulnerable and hormonal to make correct choices. Years ago I had a boyfriend whose older sister was incredibly beautiful. When she was 16, she had a relationship with her then 26-year-old math teacher. The parents did nothing to intervene. When said teacher called it quipt, the young girl had a nervous breakdown. I think you would be better off dating someone at least 20 years of age, even if it means finding someone a few years older than yourself.

This article is bull. I hope no one really believes that RPatz had anything to do with this article. He would not even give a quote on something so controversial as the content of this article. There should be a law aganst someone that wrote the article pretending they are Rob Pattinson. Do you really think anyone that reads this is that STUPID to really believe this is RPatz thoughts. Geez, who ever wrote this should “try” to get a job at the Enquirer.

In thinking back to one of Rob’s early interviews when finishing up Twilight. (You can youtube this) he states clearly that he felt it sent a good message regarding “abstinence” for young lovers. Way to go Rob! I hope whoever wrote this slanderous piece of crap, that crotch crickets invade his personal parts!

Robert Pattinson’s lawyers, no doubt, will not be happy about the source of this article along with your reprinting of it. Plus, being jealous of such an uber-gorgeous male is natural, but going to this length to sad and pathetic. Get a life freak.

If this really is Robert Pattinson:
Sure am glad you feel that way cuz I’m 40 and you are just hours older than my oldest daughter… So I should not feel guilty for wanting ‘consensual sex’ with a 23yr old man…yay! But, you know what they say about older women ;o)~
Seriously though, here in California if you are under 18 and have ‘consensual’ sex with someone over that age of 18 noone else can press charges against that person for rape. Example: if a girl of sixteen becomes pregnant by her 18-19yr old boyfriend, her parents can not decide to press charges against him for rape because, well…you can’t rape the willing. The law was put in place to protect children involved in actual ‘rape’ cases. Not to keep minors from having sex with their boy/girlfriend.

This has to be the most outlandish lie I’ve ever read. I have serious doubts as to this article’s authenticity that Rob has in fact made these comments. It’s another pathetic attempt in a long list of media slander tactics. More then likely, any comments that “may” have been made by Mr. Pattinson were undoubtedly taken way out of context. Gee, who woulda thunk that the media could ever sink so low! Time to get a REAL job people. The man is busy and has so little time for this nonsense, and I have serious doubts that he would involve himself in the politics of this country, one he was only lived in for perhaps a year?? Time to find another cesspool to drop your poop in!

Dear Robert,
Girls Now Days At 13 Act Like There 16 And etc.
I Do Not Think “Parents Should Be Picking On Adults Ages 19-25″ When A Girl Is “Willing”
And Over 16 To “Have Sex With Whom She Or He Chooses” And I AM An Adult 38 A Fan And A Mom
In Florida USA When They Choose To be “Obessed with A Guy” And There Over 15-16 Years Old.
I Feel It’s {The Parents Place} To Teach There Kids Not To have Sex With Anyone Over The Age of
18, The “Parents Do NOT Make Time For there Kids” No More So They Look For A Person And
Start Yelling Stat Rape Or Whatever Just To Suck Money From Some one My Daughter Is
Is 14, And She knows Her Education And Boys Are Only Allowed After They Meet ME !
If She Was To Sleep Around With A 23 year Old Guy I Would tell her You Know Better !
There Horomones Make Them Nutts And Guys 16-17 That Sleep With There Teachers Or An Over 21 Person That Guy Has The Same Sex Drive As Women Between 30-45 And No Drama.
MOST PARENTS WHEN A KID GETS 13-18 If The Become Obessed With Anyone Should Seek
Mental Heath Care For There Child They Can Over Do Anything There “TEENS With Raging Hormones And Understand Reality & Real Life ” Until Age 18 !
Your Fans Will Stand Beside You And Know You Have UN CRAZY Fans 23-55 Years Old
Not Nutts And Attack People In Public And Love You As An Actor And Humbleness !
I Am A Teacher And I Teach ALL Grades And I know Kids Also I Have a Degree In Psychology!
So Ignore These Dumb Men Sorry No Offense That Post Other wise !
Good Luck And I Can’t Wait To See ALL Your Movies Not Just Twilight Saga !
(Victoria) In Florida NO DUMB BLONDE !

This article is the copy of another one out there that subtly acknowledged it was not written by Robert Pattinson.
The other article had an asterisk where it credited the author as Robert Pattinson, and at the end of the article another asterisk noted “not really.”
It’s a sham just made for controversy and internet hits, probably. They should be careful of legal repercussions.

Many of you will notice that under Rob’s picture it states”THIS IS CLEARLY NOT MEANT TO BE REAL YOU MORONS”. Well the first day this article appeared that heading was not under his picture. This caused people to believe it was real. So after the writers of this bogus article got some heat from readers, they decided to put the disclaimer under Rob’s picture. A little too late if you ask me. And probably a little too late for the writer when Rob’s lawyers desend.

Roman Polanski was 44 years old and had sex with a 13 year old girl after giving her champagne and Quaaludes… he drugged her then had sex with her we call that many things in this country I know the word petafile comes to mind… there’s no way I think that Robert Pattinson wrote this and I hope his lawyers tear you apart…. there’s one thing of a few years difference and it being consensual and another to be drugged and raped by some one over twice your age

Ok I don’t think he would ever do anything like that. I mean, I don’t personally know the man, but he seams like a very normal person. And seriously the person or people who writes these things need to get a life. I mean isn’t bad enough that he gets mobbed by girls who ask him to bite his neck? And now there’s stuff like this going around? It’s just sick.
