It's a strange case: A victim of statutory rape is now being punished by the government because he was the victim of a crime. It's a little more complicated than that, but this does raise serious concerns. Here's the deal. When he was 14 years old, Nick Olivas had sex with a 20 year old woman. Because the age of consent in his state is 15, the woman committed statutory rape. Olivas never knew the woman got pregnant until his daughter was 6 years old, and he was blasted with $15,000 in back support.
