[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] I am not saying they are wishy washy because they are different. They are wishy washy. They say a 14 can't consent, but then they say they can sort of if they partner is <4 years older. That is wishy washy. A 14 yo can be arrested for using a fake id to buy alcohol, but not to obtain sex, ... why not? Isn't the store responsible for knowing that person's age, they are a child and the store clerk is an adult, shouldn't the store clerk be arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a minor? A girl can send a naked picture to a boy, that is legal. But if they boy shares it ... it is a sex offense. Wait, that is a law that is gender based, that is unconstitutional. Either they are both sex offenders or neither are. [/quote] An under the age of consent girl can also get birth control prescriptions and abortions without parent knowlege and consent in some states, yet they cannot consent to sex with another teenager. The laws are too wishy washy and inconsistent. And this young man is having his life ruined based on deceipt.[/quote]
