Statutory rape or spousal privilege?

From the Associated Press:

A 22-year-old man faces criminal charges in Nebraska for having sex with an underage 13-year-old girl, although he legally married her in Kansas after she became pregnant.
The man’s lawyer said the couple, with their families’ support, “made a responsible decision to try to cope with the problem.”
Responsible decision? Yeah, these folks sound like family of the fucking year.
After the girl became pregnant, her mother gave permission for 22 year-old Matthew Koso to take her daughter to Kansas where minors can get married with parental consent. You still want EC unavailable to teens?
Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning says that the marriage “is repugnant to me…These people made the decision to send their…daughter to Kansas to marry a pedophile.”
Hey Phill Kline–where’s your outrage now, asshole? I guess so long as pregnant teens in your state get married instead of having abortions, statutory rape is all good.
And where is the young woman in all this? We’ve heard from her family, lawyers, and attorney generals in two states–but one voice is conspicuously absent.
