An 18 year old and a 16 year
An 18 year old and a 16 year old having sex....well there's something that warrants arrest! Yeah, the laws says there's a specific age of consent, but I remember being 16. I hope sanity prevails and charges are dropped if this was actually a case of 2 youngsters in a consensual setting. Maybe I'd feel a bit differently if I was the father of a 16 year old girl, but I'd also have to remember being 16 and being 18. Labeling him on the sex offender registry for the rest of his life is not the outcome I'd want.
I really wish the statutory
I really wish the statutory laws would be revamped. I mean 20 bucks says this poor guy Jason was dating said 16 year old, and the parents didn't like it and thwarted the relationship. This is a different era, and the No Child Left Behind Act is putting these two ages in the same classroom, thereby making it inevitable!
