How a Win/Win situation turns into a crime


Start by writing stuff down. Which is exactly the kind of thing you want to do if you are thinking about committing a crime.

Write down the crime and then sign your name. Otherwise the cops might actually have to do a little investigating.


MUSKEGON, Mich. — A 37-year-old man who was accused of having sex with his girlfriend's underage daughter under an alleged written contract with the girl and her mother was sentenced to several prison terms.

Michael Fitzgibbon was sentenced Friday to up to 15 years for each of four counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct after prosecutors said he, his girlfriend and her daughter signed a contract allowing the teen to be his sex partner for two months.

The case arose after the woman, afraid of losing her boyfriend while recuperating from surgery, allegedly arranged for the three to sign a contract in June, The Muskegon Chronicle reported Saturday. In exchange for the sex, the 15-year-old testified she was to be paid and receive privileges, such as piercings, hair dyeing and permission to stay overnight with her own boyfriend.

In a letter read by assistant Prosecutor Dale J. Hilson, the alleged victim wrote that since the incidents last summer, she has tried to commit suicide, was treated at a Grand Rapids psychiatric facility and is now undergoing therapy.

Oh my. My girlfriend's folks live in Muskegon. That's just . . . wow.

I'm surprised you didn't write about the gentleman who was arrested for having sex with a dead deer.

Dude, there are so many things f'd up about this contract, I just don't know where to start. It's hilarious. It's not funny at all, but it's just so ridiculously humorous.

I thought about the deer guy, but it just didn't seem right. LOL>

Doc,

I thought the step dad gave away too much for sex witha 15 year old, don't you think?

Stephanie said...

Definitely. The piercings alone were worth anal.

Hmm. Ew. I'll just keep it simple. Ew.

Piercing alone worth the anal, huh?
