Apparently Indiana law, which would be used to prosecute a teacher or a school janitor for having sex with a student, does not cover military recruiters. No Child Left Behind!
Betrayal of TrustThe 17-year-old first met Sergeant Terry Taylor during a gym class at Ben Davis High School last summer.
"He's a big guy," she said, describing Taylor. "He's older - has all kinds of power."
Taylor got her name and phone number. At the time, military pay for college sounded like a good idea to her. "The first couple of times we talked, it was strictly military, but sometimes we got off track a little bit." Then, she said, Taylor "started asking if I had a boyfriend or something like that."
"It seemed weird," she recalled, "but I didn't think anything of it - just strictly because I thought I could trust him."
She told the recruiter she was no longer interested in the Army. Then that's when she said Taylor started showing up at her job. He never asked her out. But one day he reportedly asked her to come to his house. That's when she said it happened.
"It didn't feel right," she recalled. "I was even crying. And it just didn't matter to him."
The 27-year-old army recruiter allegedly had sex with the 17-year-old girl. She didn't tell anyone.
