[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of assumptions being made on this thread.   Laws regarding statutory rape vary from state to state.  14 is generally below the age of consent, regardless of the age of the other party.  There are Romeo and Juliet laws in some states, but not in others.  If the boy turned 18 during the relationship, that's another level all together.  [/quote]

Well that is a pretty stupid law. A 14 year old having sex with 17 year old is okay. They continue to have sex but one turns 18 and now is arrested and charged with rape? It’s either rape at the beginning or it is not. [/quote]

Statutory rape laws are not about protecting the girl, herself.  They're about protecting the parents' child and attacking the boyfriend.

This thread is strange, the way everyone is using statutory rape laws for a different purpose.

If statutory rape laws were about protecting minors, she could be charged too, in the states where the age of consent is 18.  [/quote]

Absolutely wrong: they are about protecting minors. [/quote]
