With the age question, and the law. Would you think it would be proper to arrest and incarerate an 18 year old senior in high school for having sex with a 16 year old sophomore? I know the case of LT is very much different from this hypothetical situation, but the 18 year old senior in this case would have by law commited statutory rape. I know when I was in high school there were plenty of boys that would have been guilty of that.
Should the 18 year old boy be excused from the law because he is only 2 years older than the girl and should LT be imprisoned because of his much older age? In both cases the sex was consensual, although by law it seems anyone not a legal adult cannot legally consent. If two young people aged 16 have sex together, has there been a law broken? I guess the answer is no because they are both minors? If this hooker had been 2 years older at the age of 18 then none of this would matter.
not even close to what we're talking about.
