I just watched their story on MSNBC..
It's kind of sad/tragic. I don't feel, in anyway, that she "raped" him. Rape, to me, is having sex against someone's will, forcing someone to have sex with you. I also don't believe that she should've gone to jail, rather, she should've gotten serious help.

I believe she went crazy. Alot of factors played into this, I think. #1 she was actually forced to marry her husband. It said in the very beginning that she never thought of him as someone to spend her life with, but just as someone to have fun with - but her parents (who i think were some big shots in the media) forced her to marry him. #2 her and her husband were having financial problems which, I believe, is one of the number 1 causes of stress. #3 they had about 4 kids in about 4 years - which would make anybody go crazy. #4 her marriage was falling apart. All of this added together, broke her down - and it just so happened that the only person that was there for her and who was her shoulder to cry on was this 13 year old boy, Villi.
Granted, yes, I totally understand the view "well what does a 34 yr old woman want with a 13 yr old boy?" I understand that - but, she wasn't in the right frame of mind at the time - I believe she was going through a midlife crisis...having a 2nd childhood, perhaps even believing herself, that she was 13 again, and thought that everything was okay....
On the same token, I also believe it's a double standard for men. I think statutory rape is BS. I have seen numerous 13..14 year old girls - dressing/acting/talking like they're 19..20. And, being a male, you don't think to check ID - all you care about is getting some, and if she's there and willing - well shit why not take it? She (the 13 year old) knew exactly what she was doing, she wasn't raped, nothing was done against her will, yet, the fact that she's 13/14 makes her lawfully incapable of having the mental capacity to consent to sex? I think that's :bs: Then, when her parents find out about her little escapade, instead of blaming their slut daughter, they blame the horny guy who "took advantage" of their little angel who could do no wrong. NEWSFLASH: YOUR DAUGHTER IS A WHORE
