According to Madison Heights police department's review of the messages, "...the suspect offers money and video games to the victim in exchange for a video of the victim. The suspect specifically requested that the victim be naked, and he preferred that the victim be alone."
Pugh's offer came in the evening of the same day that the teen says Pugh took him to the K&G Suit Warehouse to buy him clothes, and placed his hand on the "victim's left inner thigh...aprox. one inch from his genitalia," according to the police report.

Okay so maybe his actions didn't rise to criminal activity it's still icky as hell.

Hard to remember back five years ago, before we knew what we know today about Charles Pugh the creepy mentor, Charles Pugh the unrepentant debtor, Charles Pugh the evader, etc., to the news anchor whom everyone liked and politics seemed like a natural progression.


I'm afraid I can't agree with not filing charges. If a man had requested nude video of a young girl or touched her thigh in such a manner, he'd be in jail.

I think the not filing charges has to do with the fact that the student appears to have been 18 years old at the time of the incidents.

That may be true, but as a mentor working with a student, the school can probably press charges if they want to. They more than likely have a moral terpitude clause in their contracts.

A kid is considered an adult at 17 and the age of consent is 16 in MI. The legal problem is that is against the law, from my understanding, for a teacher to have sex with a student regardless of the kid's age. I'm not real clear on the law so maybe the Thebeav would know it better and I'm guessing the Charles' professional relationship with the kid wasn't a true student-teacher relationship.

That's basically what I was saying above; he mentored this kid while the kid was a student. I think it holds true for a relationship between a student and a person in authority.
This is one reason my husband and I didn't date until the night after I graduated high school. I had been 18 for 4 months, but he could have been brought up on charges for moral turpitude. He was a teacher, but I think, at least at that time, it held for all school employees.

The age of consent for sexual liaisons may be 16, but Chuck was asking the kid to pose for pictures. I think that is generally called porn, and I think it's illegal, although if the kid didn't follow through I assume no crime was actually committed. As for this mentoring thing, if it was set up through the school I suspect that they could have some kind of liability for matching their student(s) up with a sexual predator.

I guess this is more or less the answer to the question:
Under Michigan law, the age of consent for sexual intercourse is 16, but it is increased to 18 if the participants are a student and a teacher, substitute teacher or administrator of the school attended by the student

It would depend on if Pugh was considered in any way a substitute teacher. Also, if the kid pressed charges, I would imagine it could be sexual harassment by a superior.

In a way, it seemed to all work out. It doesn't seem like anyone was physically assaulted or damaged for life and Charles is now a pariah around these parts. He'll never show his cowardly face around here again.

I would consider that a victory. If only Kwame took that route.

Wow. I guess that means Pugh has better judgement than Kwame. Never thought I'd ascribe any kind of good judgement to Pugh.

Wonder how many pieces of flair he wears.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't 'it,' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary.
