Prosecutors: Kaitlyn Hunt Violated Order, Sent Messages, ‘Lewd’ Photos to Victim UPDATE: Hunt Accused of Sending Masturbation Video to Teenage Victim UPDATE: Lesbian and Victim Had ‘Intimate Contact’ Until Two Weeks Ago

Accused sex offender Kaitlyn Hunt “violated a pretrial order to have no contact with the victim in her teen-sex case,” the Palm Beach Post reported Thursday, citing a court motion by prosecutors that may end the 19-year-old lesbian’s release on bond.

Is the Mother of a Convicted Drug Dealer Running the #FreeKate Facebook Page?

It’s been nearly a month since I’ve written anything about accused sex offender Kaitlyn Hunt, whose supporters seem to think there should be a “lesbian loophole” in statutory rape laws. The “Free Kate” movement has undergone a substantial meltdown since the glory days of May, when Kaitlyn was featured on the Today show, before the facts […]

The #FreeKate Case Is Typical

There has been further Facebook ranting by Kaitlyn Hunt’s mother Kelley Hunt Smith this past week that I haven’t had the stomach to transcribe, but part of which involves her reiteration of some of her favorite themes: She feels her daughter is being “singled out” for prosecution; this prosecution is wrong because it is a […]

Kaitlyn Hunt’s family […]

Kaitlyn Hunt’s Big Gay Pride Day: Is ‘Jailbait Rights’ Now Mainstream?

The Hunt family continued their campaign to make their 18-year-old daughter America’s Most Famous Sex Offender™ by taking her to New York for Sunday’s 44th annual Gay Pride Parade. Because defending Kate’s right to have gay sex with 14-year-olds isn’t all about lawyers and petitions, you know. It’s also about marching in parades and sightseeing in […]

Evanescent Youth, Predatory Persistence

“Now there is what appears to be a concerted effort to lower, or even obliterate, the age of consent; but I suspect the culprits engaged therein are less interested in long-term relationships — children eventually grow up, after all — than in simply getting their hands into some poor kid’s Garanimals.” — Charles G.

#FreeKate’s Mom: ‘I Will NOT Have Anyone Ruin This for Family!!!!’

#FreeKate So many screencaps of Kelley's batshit craziness, so little time …LOL. — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) June 27, 2013 Some catastrophes are surprising and others are entirely predictable. When the parents of Kaitlyn Hunt launched the “Free Kate” campaign to make their daughter America’s Most Famous Sex Offender™ . . . Well, what part […]
