I'm pretty sure anyone who takes advantage of a 14 year old (whether she thinks she is able to consent or not) should be having words with people in authority - be it teachers, cops or judges.
The person she was having sex with is 1) a guy and 2) at least a year older than her which would have social services all up on that - ask your NYC chum if they know of any cases where a similar situation saw children being removed from their family. It is by it's definition statutory rape and please for the love of whichever deity you think sent a representative to Earth look into the wide variety of statutory rape cases that have existed.
You want an abuse of power story? Then check out what child services have done to perfectly fine families time and time again in many, many different states due a almost identical circumstances.
It's not easy and I don't think everyone can be stopped from falling through the cracks - but this cop took it very easy on the boy and I think that's what people should be looking at and applauding instead of a knee-jerk reaction to a guy with a job that some others of the same job have actually abused in the past.
Check out the cops who'd have sex with 14 year olds as extortion techniques instead of picking on a guy who merely gave a brief, and well needed by the sounds of it, scare to.

I hope all of you know this is not the first time this has happened... dads all around the world in every position and walk of life have done this, and will do this again.
Ask any dad about his "little girl" and you will get a similar variation.... for instance, I told the young man, the first time my "little girl" brought him home, that I was gonna do to him whatever he did to her...if he was nice and a gentleman, then I would be too....but, if he tried to screw her...I would try to screw him.
A friend of mine intentionally was cleaning his guns when the young man came to pick up his daughter...and yes, he had to come in and pick her up like a gentleman. Of course, he was cleaning the double barrel 12 guage when he came in.... no problems there.
Funny how your perspective changes as your life and values change. I used to go to Hooters and eat hot wings and ooggle at the girls...then one day, a friend made the point that they were someone else's little girl... haven't been back since. Yup, that could be my daughter someone is leering at.
For those of you with a negative impression of the officer...how many of you have a daughter?

I'm not saying it's right or wrong..I am saying that this what what dad's all around the world have done since time eternal.
A dock worker might use his friends in the union or the mob, a farmer might use a friend that is a county sheriff or a breakfast grill owner might call the city inspector or mayor's office....
It doesn't matter who or where...Dad's will do what they think is needed to protect their little girl.
How can it be consensual if neither are of the age of consent?
Also he didn't arrest anyone - which he could have and the older boy would have most likely been the object of the courts attention for a criminal charge without the need for the girls father being a cop or otherwise.
Read up on it.
He did the right thing and in my book makes you the bad person here for trying to witch hunt him for it.

An arrest is the act of depriving a person of his or her liberty
The word 'arrest' when used in its ordinary and natural sense, means the apprehension or restraint of a person, or the deprivation of a person's liberty. The question whether the person is under arrest or not depends not on the legality of the arrest, but on whether the person has been deprived of personal liberty of movement. When used in the legal sense in the procedure connected with criminal offenses, an arrest consists in the taking into custody of another person under authority empowered by law
The policeman removed the cuffs from the minor
I was scared, very scared.

A couple people in this thread are just ridiculous, claiming it was statutory rape...
.
Section 261.5.
(a) Unlawful sexual intercourse is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person who is not the spouse of the perpetrator, if the person is a minor. For the purposes of this section, a "minor" is a person under the age of 18 years and an "adult" is a person who is at least 18 years of age.
(b) Any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is not more than three years older or three years younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
