Hermesmann v. Seyer was a precedent-setting Kansas, United States, case in which Colleen Hermesmann successfully argued that a woman is entitled to sue the father of her child for child support even if conception occurred as a result of a criminal act committed by the woman.[2][3] The case was brought in her name by the then Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services.
Colleen Hermesmann was a 16-year-old babysitter who in 1987 was hired to take care of 12-year-old Shane Seyer. The two began a sexual relationship, and when Hermesmann was 17 and Seyer was 13, the former became pregnant. The baby, a daughter, was born in 1989. Criminal charges were brought against Hermesmann by Shawnee County, Kansas, accusing her of "engaging in the act of sexual intercourse with a child under sixteen". Hermesmann ultimately took a plea bargain, pleading guilty to the lesser offense of "contributing to a child's misconduct".
In 1991, the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, in Hermesmann's name, took Seyer to court seeking child support. Hermesmann's criminal culpability was not addressed in this trial, as this was purely a civil court case. The Department also sought and was awarded $7,000, equivalent to $16,200 in 2024,[4] for its own costs.
And the ones mentioned here:
In 1996, the court heard the case of County of San Luis Obispo v. Nathaniel J in which a 34-year-old woman became pregnant after sexually exploiting a 15-year-old boy. He was also forced to pay child support, and then Deputy Attorney General Mary Roth alleged:
The games are examples only, I’m asking in the general sense and even beyond games into movies or books or whatever - where do you draw the line?

Serious, the developer of CoD BO3’s T7 patch, was one of the first community patches to address the arbitrary code exploits which began to ravage the multiplayer servers of the older CoD games, making them unsafe to play online. Recently this topic has made a resurgence, new RCEs have been found, but the developer of T7 makes a convincing case that his patch has been safe all along, and the people causing controversy (mostly cod/zombies youtubers) have no idea what they’re talking about beyond regurgitating FUD

Someone dives into the question of why TV appearances of the world’s greatest detective are so….weird, if he even appears at all. Makes a convincing case that it’s nothing to do with “preserving the brand” (look at gay black superman for confirmation) and is probably because of a legal quagmire surrounding the rights of Batman ‘66

Who could have ever imagined that the evolution over 20 years of the approach to clearing or controlling a single hallway in a video game could be so interesting
