Well, I hope any judge that finds this kid guilty can rest easy knowing that he's ruined a person's life even before it has begun. In most cases, kids having sex that young are going to regret it for a long time anyway, especially given that this kid has been publicly humiliated in the news:

The investigation showed the two students arranged to meet in the bathroom on a break from study hall, according to the prosecutor. The students were not gone for a unusual amount of time, he said.

... Ouch :p.

If this kid is convicted, he's going to be a convicted rapist and a registered sex offender. He's going to have to go through hell to be accepted anywhere, and getting a job is going to be so much harder for him.

If I was these kids parents, I'd be grounding both kids, and giving him an ungodly amount of chores for being so stupid. Putting them up before a jury is goddamn crazy. It's unfair on the kids, and a massive waste of taxpayer money and time. Stuff like this should be sorted with a massive dose of education and discipline, especially considering that it's down to the parents to teach kids about safe sex, and it's more a failing on their part than anyone else.

13 - 16 -- okay as long as you're not more than 4 years older.

That's a bit weird if you ask me, although I guess it's a personal thing. I couldn't have gone out with a 13 year old girl when I was 17, or a 16 year old when I was 20. It'd be just... creepy.

Not saying I like the idea of a 12 yo girl having sex, but come one, that boy it's not a sex offender nor he should have that stigma over his shoulders the rest of his life.

which is why I hate most zero tolerance sex offender laws. they generally make no sense. 1 they assume it's an adult and 2. they assume it's an adult abusing a child. so they bar the child or husband from children. (ie know a case of a guy raping his wife. he's banned from getting near schools. stupid!!!) he wasn't convicted of that.

Nonsense. It's being reported and over-hyped more and more!

Exactly. For every one time this gets reported in the news, another 100 cases just like this is never heard about. It's nothing new and nothing to get excited about.

"Labeled as a sex offender"... really? He is 14 and was clearly not actually raping anyone. It was not forced and it was consensual, but wtf... sex at age 12? I can see Jearsy Shore is in someones future....

But in all seriousness, if this kid is labeled as a sex offender these laws need to be looked at a bit more closely.

Ohh, do I love this country...

Draw the line then. 8-year olds?

Jesus.

No. It's wrong and you should be charged with rape if you are older and you have sex with a 12 year older. But they also need a law that says if you are under X age, you can't get charged for rape, unless it is actually rape.

I'm sick of the lack of common sense in this country. It's pathetic.

Am I the only one who was still more interested in playing in dirt at age 12, than trying to get girls?

If you're female, maybe, but what females are interested in playing in the dirt?

If you're male, I would've thought you were queer if you weren't thinking of doing girls by the age of 14, which this boy is.

As far as this maximum punishment that can be served, the boy should not have to register as a sex offender, for sure.

My tattoo artists daughter who is 9 was asked by a boy to touch his "squishy" at school and she told her daughter that they are poisonous :laugh: But seriously this country is so prude sometimes... If the boy was 16 and she was 12 then I could see the case but they seem to just be 2 curious kids and who hasn't been curious? :glare:

It's not the fact of thinking about it, we all did by that age but doing it and even more with a 12 year old. Youth these days.

Call me old fashioned, but if I had a 12 year old daughter, and this was her.... Needless to say, I would NOT be happy right now. Consensual or not.

But surely if it was consensual, then the girl is as much to blame?

But would you be not happy with him or her?

She is just as much in the wrong as he was.

I've said it before and will say it again, kids and sex these days... no silly law saying "you're not allowed to have sex until you're X years old" is going to stop people. Of course it's in our nature to be curious. It's all about choice. If you choose to have sex at that age then I don't really care. My kids will more than likely choose differently.

I am only interested in how it came about (what circumstances) and how long they spent, what they did afterwards. I guess I'd find it interesting to see the thought process. Like many on Neowin, I find the whole subject fascinating about how different kids are these days.

This seems to be happening more and more... whatever happened to going into places you shouldn't be and getting in trouble with the cops? now it just seems sex sex and sex is the norm for adolescents. Today's generation is just all screwed up imo

This is true.

But then look at TV, magazines, internet. The media is full of people who are basically thrusting it down our throats. When I was a child, I watched adverts for toys. Now all I see are "have you fallen over because you didn't look where you were going? CLAIM HERE!" ads and with the likes of Rihanna flaunting herself around everywhere - are you seriously expecting anything different?

this is rather crazy. I knew of someone who was put on a sex offenders register for having sex with a girl who was 15 who told the guy she was 16. He dumped her months later so as revenge she went to the police and said she was underage.

And she claimed rape right?

I nearly blurted out to a girl once "oh, not another one" as I found that many girls claimed they were raped. Saying yes at the time (whether you wanted to have sex or wanted to please your boyfriend), then deciding later on that it was a mistake does not make it rape. You wanted to at the time. All that does is make actual rape victims seem trivial.

I agree - these kids need to get it pounded in early...

That is an awful choice of words!

The law is the law. There's age of consent laws for a reason.

These laws are in place, in theory, to protect minors.

What reason? To protect young kids? Yeah, like this law is working (N)

In theory maybe... but in practice?

Draw the line then. 8-year olds?

While I see your point, who says 16 is the right age? You? The Government? Everyone has a different opinion. In some countries 8 years old may be an appropriate age.

I wonder what the story would be if he suggested she raped him?

I bet you she wouldn't be put on the sex offenders list.

If the story was that he suggested that she raped him. Everyone in this thread would be cheering the guy on for getting it on with some younger skin. And they would say you can't rape the willing.. yadda yadda.. it's a proven fact, go look at the other threads in RWN/RWI.. recent ones where men claimed to have been raped by women, all the people in that thread, save a few level headed ones... were cheering the guy on.

And here I thought we were in the 21st century. And not medieval times.

It's time to call for abolish age of consent and incest law too :shiftyninja:

I tend to agree.

People mature, and have different levels of understanding, awareness, at various ages -- not always at 18.

If two people know what they are doing, and willingly agree, it shouldn't be a legal dispute.

Good. Then I guess if 12 year olds are good enough to have sex, I guess that means they're good enough to be on their own. I guess that means I can kick them out. No 12 year old daughter of mine is going to be bringing guys around.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By sphbecker · Posted

      When I think about a network, there are really two aspects, the hardware and the wiring. So here is what I would do for both. Wiring: Use Cat6A for the patch panel and all structured cables (cables installed in walls). Run plenty of Wireless Access Point (WAP) cables, as a general rule, assume a signal can only pass through 2-3 walls and can't pass through a floor (that is conservative, but trust me on this if you want strong WiFi)  Cat6 patch cables are fine for now if you don't plan to run 10gig, those are easy to replace later if needed. Run OS2 single-mode fiber to anywhere you think you may have a server or sub-switch. (yes, single-mode for everything on a small network, don't mess with multimode unless you have entire racks of servers and that minor module cost and power savings will matter). If you really want to future proof, also run fiber to any high density WAP locations, it is likely that WiFi 8 WAPs will push the limits of 10g. Run 6-12 pairs of single-mode fiber between your MDF and the building's MDF, even if you only need 1 or 2 pairs now, those extra pairs will pay off down the road. Hardware: (its easy to say "get all the features incase you need them", so instead of futureproofing, I am going to take approach of suggesting areas worth investing in, and areas you can save money). Don't overspend thinking you need every feature on every port. You don't need 10g on every port, you don't need PoE on every port. Don't overspend on redundancy either, unless you are ready to buy two of everything, don't waste money buying two of some things and not others. Dual power supplies are worthwhile, but probably not HA or multi-path redundancy.  Get 1 "distribution layer" switch that your router/firewall will connect to, your access layer switches. This should be a 10g switch with a combination of copper and SPF ports and should be a fully managed switch. Given that you said it is a small network, I suggest also using that distribution layer switch for servers and WAPs, meaning it will need PoE. Speaking of wireless, get good professional tri-band WAPs, and either turn on the band stirring options, or limit 2.4 to an IoT only SSID. This will provide a solid WiFi capable nearly everything but the highest of bandwidth clients...you could even consider skipping wiring workstations depending on usage. Access layer switch for workstations and printers can be cheaper switches, 2.5g is a good sweet spot between price and future proofing, but even 1g is fine for most individual clients (the kind that could probably be fine on WiFi). You can consider saving a little on access layer switches by only getting 1 PoE switch for whatever needs it (remember your WAPs are connecting to the distribution switch, not here), and non-PoE for your workstations, because desk phones are falling out of favor. You can also save money here by not buying managed switches if you don't need them--but really do some soul searching there, if you go this route, then anything that isn't on your workstation VLAN would either need to be connected to the distribution switch, or its own switch. Also, don't feel like you need a fancy fabric stacking switches for your access layer, that is the point of the higher-end distribution layer, to remove the need for things like that at this level. Home Hardware: I'm realizing the above assumed an office setting, if this if for your house and home lab then the above still applies, but you'll probably want everything managed and PoE, just because, but you probably also don't need multiple access layer switches. if your total port count is below 24, just skip separating distribution layer and access layer and just get one nice switch with the features you want. For home use, don't worry about home running every device to the main switch, there is nothing wrong with running sub-switches for your media areas and office, those essentially become your access layer, just look for sub-switches with a 10g uplink so sharing bandwidth isn't an issue.
    • Google Meet brings Gemini note-taking to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google Meet brings Gemini note-taking to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers by Karthik Mudaliar Google's Gemini-powered "Take notes for me" feature inside Google Meet is now available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. The features work on Google Meet for web as well as on mobile, and Google says that subscribers can use it for meetings they host in many supported languages. As the name suggests, "Take notes for me" allows Gemini to listen to a meeting, generate a summary, identify action items, and save the notes as a Google Doc in the user’s Drive. After the meeting, the organizer receives an email recap with the summary and action items, while the notes can also be attached to the related Calendar event depending on the meeting setup and sharing settings. The feature isn't automatically turned on for everyone, though. Google says that all meeting participants are notified when note-taking is turned on, and users can start it from the pencil icon in Meet or enable it for future calls through Meet’s meeting records settings. For work or school accounts, administrators can also control whether the feature is available and may require explicit participant consent for note-taking, recording, or transcription features. The feature first launched back in 2024, when it was available just for selected Workspace users. Over the years, Google added refinements and more options, including the ability to enable it when scheduling meetings via Google Calendar. Google's support docs say that the feature currently supports English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, but only one language at a time. Meetings with multiple spoken languages are not currently supported, and Google recommends using the tool for meetings between 15 minutes and eight hours. The new feature makes Google Meet closer to its rivals that have AI tools already built in. Microsoft Teams has recently started offering Copilot and intelligent recap features that summarize meetings, surface highlights, and help with follow-ups, while Zoom’s AI Companion can also generate meeting summaries from desktop and mobile meetings.

    • Microsoft finally launches WSL Containers in public preview

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Microsoft finally launches WSL Containers in public preview by David Uzondu Microsoft has announced that WSL containers, a feature that allows developers to run Linux containers natively inside Windows without the need for Docker Desktop, is now available in public preview several weeks after Microsoft previewed it at Build 2026. To use the new container feature, you first have to install the latest pre-release version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux by running a quick update command in your terminal: wsl --update --pre-release After installing, you'd get access to the new Linux container CLI (wslc.exe) and the programmable API. Microsoft said that the CLI has a "familiar format" that matches the toolsets developers already use every day. If you know standard Docker commands, your muscle memory will translate directly to wslc.exe, which even features a built-in alias called container.exe. You can quickly run a full Ubuntu KDE desktop container by exposing ports, or pass your graphics card straight into a machine learning environment to run PyTorch workloads. Passing the --gpus all flag inside the run command instantly links your hardware. Image via Microsoft As for the API, developers can now embed Linux container operations directly inside native Windows applications without exposing the command line to users. The team integrated the API directly into MSBuild and CMake, so developers can define container steps directly in project files. Apart from bringing the CLI and API into public preview, Microsoft also said that it's working on a new default file system called virtiofs to speed up file transfer rates between Windows and Linux. Microsoft also introduced an experimental networking mode named consomme, which resolves compatibility issues with corporate VPNs by routing Linux network traffic straight through Windows. One thing to note about WSL containers is that they don't run in your standard WSL distributions; instead, every application and CLI session spawns its own lightweight Hyper-V utility VM in the background. This basically reduces the chances of one app snooping on the container of another app.
    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.
