Attorney for "My-Space" Attacker Claims Constitutional Protection
Newsroom
9/6/2006

The attorney for a 19-year-old man accused of sexual assault claims the U-S Constitution protects him from full responsibility for having sex with a 14-year-old girl.

Pete Solis reportedly met his victim via "My-Space.com," apparently leading to dinner and a movie back in May, allegedly followed by sexually assaulting the victim afterwards in a shopping center parking lot…

"We are saying that to create liability for only one party--for the older party, and not the younger party--that violates Equal Protection," attorney Adam Reposa says outside a Travis County courtroom this morning.

Reposa claims that extends to protection of procreation rights, despite the victim's age. He maintains that he is not trying to villify the 14-year-old victim.

Solis would face up to 20 years in jail and permanent registration as a sex offender, if he's convicted. A judge will hear Reposa's argument next Monday.
