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]

This shows that in many states, he would not be in trouble.[/quote]

Did you actually read that link?

[i]A few states have laws that allow a defendant to argue a reasonable mistake of the victim’s age as a defense. Some, however, allow the defense only in limited circumstances.[/i]

So, in which state does the PP live, where the law allows a person charged with statutory rape to offer "I reasonably believed that the person was old enough" as a defense?[/quote]
