He was liable for $2,500 per instance. If there were 20+ kids there, then under the EXISTING law, he could have been liable for 20 x $2,500 = $50,000 or more. I don't think that $50,000 is nothing, do you?

But, if you do think that $50,000 is nothing, and that only the possibility of jail will deter parents from allowing high-school parties with alcohol to take place at their homes, then write the bill narrowly to address specifically that problem. This bill is not narrowly written. [b]Under this bill, if a 21-year-old college student and her 20-year-old boyfriend drink a beer at her apartment, she could go to jail for up to a year. Do you think that would be justice? I don't.[/b][/quote]

The same applies with an 18yr old having sex with a 17yr old?  Do you want the statutory rape law to go away so an 18yr old can freely fuck a 17yr old without risking getting arrested?  Please tell me the difference because you are grasping at straws here. [/quote]

Actually, in Maryland, the age of consent is 16. And if the victim is 14 or 15, there are different penalties depending on the difference in age between the perpetrator and the victim. If Maryland law can allow for different circumstances in the case of sexual contact below the age of consent, why can't Maryland law allow for different circumstances in the case of provision of alcohol to an unrelated person under 21?[/quote]
