[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a DD and DS.  The girl bears some responsibility here. Yes, she is only 14.  [b]But at that age she knows right from wrong[/b].  She's 14, not 7.  She lied about her age, and went on an app that is not meant for underage kids.  I think girls who do this type of thing should also be punished some how, like doing community service.  Poor guy's life is now ruined.[/quote]

The courts are not there to determine right from wrong. They are there to determine legal from illegal. It is not illegal for a 14-year-old to misrepresent her age on a dating app or (as far as I know) to use a dating app. It is illegal for a 19-year-old to have sexual contact with a 14-year-old.

[b]Now, if you want to change the laws to make it illegal for a 14-year-old to misrepresent her age on a dating app..[/b].[/quote]

Or at least some consequence for misrepresenting their age.  [/quote]

The point of statutory rape laws is that minors may lie about their age or seemingly give consent, but they cannot because they are not of legal age.

Why try to blame a minor child for the actions of an adult?
