[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I want is a sane legal system.

Having sex with someone you just met it not illegal.

From the argument presented here by many of the people (or is it just one?), is that I should know if my partner is lying.  Even if they are in a place where they legally should not be.  (Internet dating site, bar, etc).

No.  I should be able to assume people are being honest.  The criteria for the law should be what a reasonable person would think.  In this case, a reasonable person would assume she was not lying.

If you want the age-of-consent laws to say that it's legal to have sex with somebody below the age of consent if a reasonable person would believe that they were old enough to consent, then you should contact your state legislator. Until the law is changed, however, a prudent person will do more than simply take the word of somebody they just met on a dating app that that somebody is old enough to consent.[/quote]

In my state this is the case.  I bet you are a republican.  [/quote]
