The courts have branded him a rapist. But Allan Lewis' mother claims her son is the victim of a heavy-handed legal system that fails to address the realities of sexual activity among young people. What's more, said 60-year-old Paula Lewis of Sandpoint (pictured), the law allows promiscuous underage girls, like the 14-year-old Lewis claims seduced her son, to continue their sexual exploits with impunity. "Number one, I don't think he should be a registered sex offender," Paula Lewis said. "And I don't think it should be rape by my definition. He had (consensual) sex with someone underage. But I think of rape as forcible, or a violent thing, or coercion." Her definition, however, is not consistent with Idaho law, said Latah County Prosecutor William Thompson Jr. (who said ... "it's ... simply against the law, and it's simply wrong, for an adult man to be having sex with a young girl." Allan Lewis, who was 19 when arrested on two counts of rape and other sexual charges, admitted to one count of rape as the result of a plea agreement/David Johnson, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Does the rape charge fit this case?
