alleged statutory rape of her 14-year-old daughter.
Lawrenceville police said the woman allowed Lucio Gomez-Gonzalez, 20, to stay in a room in her home for about a month with her daughter after learning he had impregnated the girl. Gomez-Gonzalez was charged with statutory rape and the mother was charged with being a party to the crime of statutory rape.
The woman’s lawyer, Wesley Person, said police are overreaching in a case that would not be a big deal in Mexico.
With the woman’s relatives nodding their agreement, Person said the woman’s decision to allow Gomez-Gonzales to move in to her house was a culturally acceptable alternative to the girl moving in with an older man in another house.
Expecting parents to report the pregnancies of their teenage children to police is unrealistic, Person said.
