Homophobia Drove Statutory Rape Charge: Mom - Slams 'religious zealots' seeking to 'destroy my daughter': " A Florida teen has been charged with statutory rape and kicked out of school, and her mother says the case hinges on homophobia, the Raw Story reports. The parents of the alleged victim—some three years younger than suspect Kaitlyn Hunt, 18—"are bigoted, religious zeolites (sic) that see being gay as a sin and wrong, and they blame my daughter," says Hunt's mother, Kelly Hunt Smith, in a Facebook post. Hunt and the other teen had "a mutual consenting relationship," Smith says."
