Turns out the Superbowl isn’t the only big football news this week in the NFL. Eliza Kruger, a Connecticut high school student, hooked up with Jets star quarterback Mark Sanchez at his New Jersey home.
They supposedly met at a club in Manhattan and started texting after that night on New Years Eve.
New York Post provided the full scoop in the issue, of the 17-year-old “hooking up” with the Sanchez, 24. She bragged about her big night on Facebook posting a status that said “MARK F–ING SANCHEZ!” and took photos of his mangled bed sheets afterward.
So everyone in America is thinking: “That’s illegal!” Eliza told reporters that the age of sexual consent is 16 in New Jersey (where they hooked up) and 17 in New York. She did her research well before the incident.
Her parents are trying not to answer many questions and make sure that the situation is cleared up soon. And rightfully so. I don’t think many parents would like to publicly argue the right for their teen daughter to be hooking up with someone 7 years their senior.
Is Eliza Kruger innocent in this situation? If she is of age, why is this all over the media?

Far worse things have happened in the NFL. Shouldn’t we all be happy that it was consensual?
guest
The best thing about these high school girls, is every year I get older, they stay the same age. No wonder why he can’t make it to the super bowl. Cheeky bastard.
guest
I’ve heard of cases where they’ll prosecute despite the age of consent, since they’re still technically a minor. Which pisses me off. Why have it if they’re just going to ignore it?

If it’s consensual and legal, who cares. She’s a groupie. They act like that is something new.

I met my boyfriend-now fiancee when I was 17 and he was 28. I got so much criticism at first but after my friends and family learned that he was a pure gentleman and that his intentions were completely honorable [and the fact that I was turning 18 three months from then], they couldn’t picture anyone else better for me. It’s not gross. When a 20 something year old girl is dating someone well in their 80s, now THAT tends to be gross when you’re with someone who could be your grandfather.
But this particular situation is stupid. Let them be.
guest
Hope he doesn’t wipe a booger on her.
guest
honestly? how is he supposed to know she’s underage if she’s at a club?
SHE played HIM.
just another case of male sexism – no biggie
guest
I don’t get why it’s gross?
Obviously she was all for it, and over the legal age of consent, so it wasn’t rape. Also…it doesn’t seem like that much of an age gap. If it were an 18 and 25 year old dating it would be no big deal, yet the age difference is the same.

SSDD

What disturbs me more is that she’s bragging about it. Not that she’s 17.

She’s bragging about it which is more fucked up than her doing what is pretty normal for 17 year olds to do. -.-’
guest
Uh why is this gross again? It’s not like he was hooking up with a 10 years-old.

“We’re really trying to shut this down,” her mom says. Mayyyyybe her daughter shouldn’t have posted pictures of their post-sex bed ON FACEBOOK?! God, people are such idiots.

I’m strangely jealous of her (I have a secret crush on him). Granted, i’m almost 21. I think she is definitely bringing the attention to herself, and for all we know he had no idea she was so young. I love Mark Sanchez and I am a huge Jets fan, so I may be a little biased! But it’s not always the dude who is at fault. Plus, I’m sure he’s pretty pissed about the pictures on facebook–she wants her fifteen minutes of fame. Team Sanchez!

Uhm…ok? I don’t see a problem, shes of age and it wasn’t rape…. Way to make a big issue out of nothing.
guest
Meh. She’s almost 18, why not? I mean, girls have been trying to sleep with famous people since for decades.. lol.
guest
Mark Sanchez you can do so much better.
guest
Pitiful on her part; stupid on his part (he’s average himself but could surely do better) and just so unnecessary to talk about overall. Give the 17 year old whore more attention? Pft..
guest
lawl. You’re surprised?
guest
I don’t see anything gross about it except for maybe her behavior. One she was at a club making him think she was probably older. Two she took a picture of their post sex bed and then three posted the picture on facebook. I hate the gender bias on all points. In this case it seems like she took advantage of the fact that he’s famous and was interested (I can’t see why), but somehow he’s the one catching the flak for it.

@SuburbanSweetheart - yeah that was kind of dumb haha.
i don’t care if they had sex or not. it is a little slutty of her to go and brag about it via facebook though.
guest
@mdongivin@mancouch - hahaaaaaa dazed and confused

So… the title of this post goes “Gross!” but I don’t see what’s gross about it it. She’s old enough to consent and he’s only 24, which really isn’t all that much of a difference. The media is all over it because it’s someone famous.
I think she handled the situation poorly by posting everything on Facebook. She seems like an attention whore to me.
guest
she goes to my school, i’m serious. i’ve never seen her before though.
guest
wtf he obviously had on some serious beer goggles if he hooked up with her
guest
Oh! Get it Eliza! Woot woot! BAHAHA
guest
oooh, famous athlete prowling on underage women. this is surprising why…?
guest
I know her personally and she loves attention and is a mean girl…
guest
lucky chick. :sigh: yeah it’s not rape or anything. i guess it’s a big deal because he’s this fancy schmancy football player and she’s just this high school kid. whatever. mark sanchez is the man. lol
guest
“If she is of age, why is this all over the media?”
Exactly. If they like each other, what’s the problem?

hmm pretty sure if your hooking up with a majot league football player you shouldt be all up on facebook acting like your 12! and then claiming your over the age of consent….just saying

Seriously? Man I’m so fuckin jealous! I love Mark Sanchez! Lucky bitch…. Anywhoooo, who the hell is letting 17 year olds into clubs anyway? She played him. He probably didn’t even know she was 17. I was going to say “good for her” but she bragged about it like your typical 17 year old and now he’s probably gonna get fucked for it even if it was legal.
guest
OH MY GOD TWO OF AGE PEOPLE DECIDED TO HAVE CONSENSUAL SEX…
NFL is tame. In the EPL the captain of Liverpool slept with and got his 17 year old sister-in-law pregnant. Everyone knows even though our media covered it up… LOL at this story. He plays American Football. He is not exactly fucking Einstein is he? Good for her for doing the research and not trying to press charges like a moron
What is with American law? How come you can smoke, vote, have sex and get a tattoo by the age of 18, and cant drink? Thats messed up…
guest
It’s lame that she has to brag about it so publicly.
I mean, I might tell friends (who can keep their mouth closed), but I wouldn’t be telling newspapers & things.
guest
Of course he’s going to assume that she’s older if she’s at a club…I don’t see why all the blame is on him.
guest
It’s legal…. nothing anybody can do about it now lol
guest
Yes, but does that age of consent have a certain limit? I know that (at least when my friend was in a situation) in Illinois, age of consent is 17 but the oldest the other person can be is 2 years older than the minor. All the age of consent laws I’ve heard have similar limits. Google is giving me conflicting things…
If it is completely legal, whatever. I’ve seen relationships that have huge age differences that work really well. It sounds like he really won’t have to worry about her suddenly regretting the night and trying to use it against him…sounds like she really liked it and that has been publicly displayed.

Yeah…what a stupid cunt.
Actually, she’s lykk, soOo cool. I’m going to start posting post-sex pics on my facebook, myspace, facespace, twitter, mybook, upload the videos on youtube, email everything to my grandma, send out a mass txt, and then actually do it live on oovoo, stickam, and skype.
DUMB STUPID ATTENTION SEEKING HIGH SCHOOL KIDS!
guest
@TheInappropriateSkirt@xanga - Yeah, why is she bragging about it? That’s the stupid part.
guest
Y’know, there’s a lot of stances on this. Including some about her looks. My God people, this is somebody’s kid. A lot of people are saying what’s the big deal. And a few are sharing their own stories. It’s a different story for all of us. Honestly this is pretty creepy. Let’s just be honest here–athletes are well-known for finding hot women. OLDER women over the age of seventeen. At least that’s what we like to think. Who knows, they could be fooled every now and then. Still, the fact that he couldn’t find someone a little older just rubs me the wrong way. Her being a little ways shy of 18 doesn’t mean diddly squat to me.
Obviously he picked the wrong girl if she’s so fast to blab about it, like a…oh..wait…average teenager with a FB page with something big to share. See that’s the problem. Seems like she’s a bit immature for this situation. Now in a year or whenever, no one will think twice. But all consent ages aside, that mess is total ick.He could have stepped his groupie game up a thousand fold and it has nothing to do with how she looks. Yep, it’s her age and how she handled it. OF COURSE it’s consensual. What teen girl is going to turn down a chance to bone a football star? A lot will, but a TON wouldn’t. 17 and 24 is a huge 7 year jump period. That’s gross to me where it’s “meh” to the rest of you…
guest
I feel bad for him.
She should have kept her mouth shut and never post a photo of it. If its the age of consent then ok, whatever, but it is still tacky on her part to post the photos. Just shows how immature she is.
guest
Don’t sound so shocked.
@Just_Another__Disaster@xanga - Does that mean an almost-21 year old should drink?Does that mean an almost-18 year old should be a stripper?
orchid / 198 posts
Tragic on both sides, lets not point fingers and cast blame. I’m sure her parents are pretty much devastated, and rightly so. Sanchez was pretty-much a tool in this, and the girl….well, let’s just say that there are some colorful expressions I’d use to describe her if I were a different person…
how_x_loverly@xanga - interesting take. How do we know that Mr. Sanchez isn’t a complete gentleman? How do we know that his intentions weren’t on the up-and-up? To be blunt and with all due respect, there isn’t much separating you and your guy from this kind of situation. To even be more straightforward, describing your situation (and trying to justify your boyfriend and yourself on top of it all), which isn’t any different, then to turn and declare Sanchez and Kruger “stupid” is pretty hypocritical.

@loborns_identity_crisis@xanga - The huge difference between those situations & this one is that this one is legal.
But honestly, sure, they could do that. It’s their bodies so who am i to tell them what to do with it? I think it’s funny how people act so outraged but if it were them doing it they’d think it were completely rational behavior.
