He found a naked person in his daughter's room. I think my first thoughts might be someone has broken in and is trying to rape my daughter.

DELTONA, Fla. -- An angry Deltona father whacked his teenage daughter's boyfriend with a metal pipe after finding the boy naked in his daughter's room. Authorities say the father, 45, didn't even know his daughter had a boyfriend or that the youngster had been sneaking into the home for more than a year.
When he heard noises coming from his daughter's bedroom Thursday morning and saw a stranger standing naked on the girl's bed, he swung a metal pipe. He then chased the teen out the front door and called police.
The boy was taken to the hospital where doctors closed a head wound with staples.
The father was charged with aggravated battery on a child and bonded out on $10,000.

DELTONA - Prosecutors won't pursue charges against a Deltona father who allegedly struck a naked intruder in his daughter's bedroom, not knowing it was his daughter's boyfriend.

The State Attorney's Office decided not to charge Raul Colon, 45, for hitting the 15-year-old intruder with a pipe.

Colon told investigators that on Sept. 11, around 4:15 a.m., he heard strange noises in his home and found the naked man in his daughter's bedroom. Colon didn't know who the man was, chased him, and struck him, before the teenager fled.

Afterwards, it was discovered that the intruder was his daughter's boyfriend and she had let him into the house, without her father's knowledge. The teenagers had been dating for about 18 months, but she never told her father about the relationship, according to a report.

State Attorney John Tanner said the case is being dropped because a father has a right to defend his home against a stranger and has the right to use reasonable force against such an intruder.

I think it is a very sorry state of affairs when it would even be considered that charges should be brought against the father. The kid is d%# lucky he didn't get shot. I would have gone to investigate with a pipe also, but mine would have been 12 gauge.

Does this mean if I come home and find a man in the bed with my wife I can beat the #### out of him legally? I agree that the father should not be charged but I can some people taking this idea a little farther, maybe too far.

I guess it depends on how much you trust your wife.

Is she willing, or was this a home invasion and rape?

There is a big difference between coming home and find someone in your house in the middle of the night.

depending on the state, and the age of consent - but under age sex can be construed as battery and steps taken can be severe. nuff said here.
