[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes. I think if the older child (it could be a boy or a girl, btw) went through a reasonable amount of steps to confirm the age of the younger person then yes, I don't think the older person should NOT be prosecuted. [/quote] The older person in these cases is an adult, not a child. Another child cannot be prosecuted under these laws, only an adult (I.e., 18 or over) is liable. A 19 year old is not a child, he or she is a legal adult. These laws are in place to protect children. A 14 year old is a child. [/quote] 18 is an adult but in MD an 18 yo can legally have sex with a 14 yo. The laws are little wishy washy. [/quote] States make their own laws that take into account the wishedps of the residents of each state. States have different laws about driving licenses, too, but we don't call that washy-washy. That's just the way state legislation works. [/quote]
