If you would enlighten me, what would inspire you to refer to Mr. Andrade as a pedophile [Gustavo Arellano’s “McKnight Fall,” Jan. 26]? Other than the typical reporter mentality of throwing their mother under the bus just to get a story? If I read the article correctly the girl was 15 at the time, correct? I’m looking forward to hearing a response from the author and contributor.

Gustavo Arellano responds: You’re right, J. 15-year-olds aren’t children. I meant to call Andrade a “statutory student rapist.” My apologies.
