The Saga of Katie.com

digitalcaffeine writes "The gist of the story is that Katie Tarbox became a victim of an online sexual predator when she was 13. She wrote a book about it in 2000 and Penguin Putnam made the title of the book 'Katie.Com', which unfortunately was a domain name owned by Katie Jones since 1996. Now Tarbox's lawyer is demanding that Jones turn over the domain name. Penguin refuses to apologize, saying that it would be a violation of their free speech to re-title the book and that Jones never trademarked katie.com, so they can do what they want with the words."

I am sorry that Katie T had to go through what she did at the [hands] of a 40 year old pedophile

Why? She thought he was 23! And adult is an adult, whether 23 or 40.

He didn't break into her home and rape her, she SKIPPED SCHOOL to go meet what she thought was a 23 year old man!

It seems to me that her only regret is that he wasn't the dream boat she expected! If she met 40 year old Brad Pitt, would she have cried "RAPE"? Of course not.

I don't feel sorry for this little whore! Not one bit! And neither should you. If she MURDERED someone at age 13, she would have been charged as an adult. So if she SLEEPS with someone at age 13, in a premeditated, determined fashion, she's 50% culpable!
