Nonsense what is the meaning of lured her into his SUV ?He lured her into his SUV on gun point or drag her with rope? when their both have gone to eat at an expensive restaurant and later she followed him into his car, besides 19years is never under age,she got what she's looking for simple.

Did she expect to be fed for nothing? She ate correct food and she recieved correct penis in return. I can,t see any case of molesting here bcos nothing goes for nothing.

It happened in the car, after eating in a restaurant and at 9 pm in the night. Above all, 26 yrs old boy with 19 yrs old girl. This is not RAPE but misunderstanding btw both of them in terms of promise fulfillment.

Stupidity is when you endulge yourself in a act that you'll have to bail yourself with #500,000 when you can get more of that thing with just #10,000 or below.
