[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The posters citing concerns about statutory rape are almost certainly misguided.  First, in many, if not most, states a 16 year old has reached the age of consent.  Second, many states require there to be a significant age gap even if one party has not reached the broader age of consent.  A 17 year old sleeping with a 16 year old would not realistically face legal consequences for consensual behavior.[/quote]

This is not true. Don't you watch the news?[/quote]

NP I think that when you look in to it, you will see that pp is right. In most states this would be a non issue.  I can't speak for all states but I can't name even one where this would be a problem. But you can read up on it and let us know which state this would be a problem in. [/quote]

Any state where mom and dad catch her and she says something went on with an older boy that she didn’t consent to.  He doesn’t have to be convicted of anything for there to be problems. He just needs her parents to make a stink.  I’m very feminist but really surprised more parents of sons aren’t concerned about Me Too in 2019 and talking to their kids about protecting themselves from “misunderstandings”.   We are past “boys will be boys” in 2019. [/quote]

But that is a wholly different issue than concerns about statutory rape that started this tangent.

Could a girl, after the fact, claim she didn’t consent?  Sure, it is possible.  But that wouldn’t be statutory rape and the age of those involved would be irrelevant.  Are you going to tell your sons to never have intimate contact because someone could later claim rape?[/quote]

I’m saying a 17 year old boy spending the night in the home of a 15 year old girl whose parents haven’t consented is a problem waiting to happen. This sounds like a senior and a sophomore.  And part of raising kids is helping them make good judgment calls. Even assuming no one can go to jail, is it a good idea?  If the girl is caught and what is she going to say? What are her parents going to say? What rumors about your kid get spread through the community?

He is about to be 18. He needs to have a very clear understanding of the social and legal consequences.  And he needs to go to college prepared to make smart decisions. Not just legal. Smart. [/quote]
