[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is old enough to consent to somebody &lt; 4 years older than she is so it is not a sexual assault.[/quote]

Good lord she absolutely is not. She is no where near age of legal consent in any state …[/quote]

You don't understand the law.

the law is 16 to have sex with anybody you want.

If you are 14-15 you can have sex with anybody &lt;4 year older than you are.[/quote]

No there are states without Romeo and juliette laws where it is flat out illegal and some states where age differential allowed is only two years. Add on to the fact that the young man was driving a minor off campus without her parents knowledge or permission, there is probably
a strong case of the family chose to press charges. [/quote]

Actually only half the US states have Romeo and Juliette Laws so OP’s scenario represents statutory rape in half the states.

Of the remaining half, most with Rand J laws allow for 0-2 year age difference so again statutory rape would apply.
