Brighton Township man gets jail for sex with 15-year old BEAVER — A Brighton Township man was sentenced Thursday to between six and 23½ months in the Beaver County Jail for having sex with a 15-year-old girl he met online last year. Thomas J. Boyce, 34, of 1030 Tuscarawas Road, pleaded guilty before Judge Kim Tesla to a single count of statutory sexual assault for having sex last July with Sarah M. Jones of Moon Township. Boyce also faces three years’ probation once he is released from jail. Moon Township police said that Jones, posing as a 26-year-old woman through a local Internet dating service, contacted Boyce. When the pair met in Moon on July 29, 2008, according to police, Boyce was suspicious of her age and asked for identification, but the girl claimed she didn’t have it. The two ended up at Boyce’s home, where they had sex, police said. Jones’ family reported her missing July 31, and police were able to track the girl to Boyce’s home that day because she had used Boyce’s cell phone to call someone. Was the guy incredibly stupid? Yep. But why does the girl escape any legal repercussions? She certainly isn't innocent. Unlike this mess. Just so you know. Nudity doesn't equal sex. Casual photos of children aren't sure signs of a pedophile. Children are sexual beings, especially teenagers whose hormones are carbonating. Sometimes children initiate sex, and they can be pretty aggressive about it. Now I am not saying it's right to have sex with someone who's underage. I'm just pointing out that some of the absolutes that the law assumes aren't really all that absolute.
