Go to jail for 10 years for getting head?

[Xanikk999]

Depends on the state (and also the country btw). Some states have the age of consent at 18...some at 16. Ditto with countries.

This isnt a USA thing by any means. Other countries have minimum age sex laws as well and enforce them too.

But I disagree with you, I dont think the law morally wrong at all. At some point you have to draw a line in the sand and say thats the absolute youngest age a person can consent to sex. And if you have sex with a minor its a crime.

Its the same thing about alcohol laws. I happen to think a 20 year old can drink a beer as responsibly as a 21 year old...but the law states you have to be 21 to do it legally. Its not morally wrong to arrest a 20 year old for drinking and not a 21 year old, its called enforcing a standard.

Why cant you draw the line at just saying if the consenting couples are no more then 4 years apart in age if one is under 18?

 

[fishjie]

Somehow, I agree with that statement.


Sorry, but a 15 year old cannot consent if he or she is under the age of majority. Same goes for the 17 year old if he or she is also under the age of majority.


I only agree to the vertict somewhat in that these two minors should be sentance to a time in Juvinile Deteniton, not Jail or Prision.

what do you mean they cannot give consent? They cannot LEGALLY give consent, but they know PERFECTLY well what they are doing. open your eyes. TEENS HAVE SEX. is this so hard to accept for you? If you think two teens having consensual sex deserve juvy, guess what? THE MAJORITY OF ALL THE HIGH SCHOOLS WOULD BE CLOSED FROM LACK OF STUDENTS.

are you really this sheltered?

 

[Xanikk999]

If i were these kids parents i would not take this laying down.

This is just appauling. The whole jury should be shot.

 

[skadistic]

If a 15 year old can't consent to sex then I'm a hard core sex peditor. From 14-18 the years I was humping 15 year olds I left a wake of victims. This is just plain stupid.

Yah and no matter the age of the male, he is always responsible.

 

[amadeus]

You'll shoot your eye out, kid!

I say there should be a 4 year safety zone.

Meaning that no matter how old either of the consenters are, if they are 4 years of age or under apart there can be no charge.

That is all.

First, why four and not five, seven, or ten? Why not twenty?

Second, a child cannot consent to sex. Period. End of story. Th-th-th-that's all, folks!

I was going to reply but you beat me to it.

Shoot, I would have consented as a pre-teen if any attractive girl would have given me the opportunity.

 

[warpus]

The girl was black too, btw. Not that it should matter, but apparently it does to some.

Ok then answer me this.

IF THEY CANNOT CONSENT WHY CAN THEY BE PUT ON DEATH ROW AND CHARGED WITH MURDER.

TEENAGERS KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES.

Rape is not love and under-age kids cannot consent to sex.

I'm 15, and I can quite easily say yes to sex if I felt like it.

And yes, it does make him a pedo and a sexual offender.

I'm 15 years old. I like girls who are my age, 15, and older, and some younger. I may think a girl as young as 13 is attractive. Am I a pedo?

Again, a 15 year old cannot consent to sex.

Why not?

Where do you propose we draw the line, if not at 16? 12? 10? Younger?

13 sounds fine to me

 

[Narz]

First, why four and not five, seven, or ten? Why not twenty?

Because four is more appropriate than twenty. No offense, sharps, but that's a stupid question.

Second, a child cannot consent to sex. Period. End of story. Th-th-th-that's all, folks!

Certianly someone you deem a "child" can consent to sex otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion because little miss sucksalot would have said no.

a TEEN is not a CHILD. a TEEN has gone through puberty.

im gonna guess that the people who think this guy is a criminal never got laid in high school - not meant as a diss - just more of an observation.

xanik brings up a good point. IF THEY CAN BE TRIED AS ADULTS FOR MURDER, THEY SURE AS HELL CAN BE OLD ENOUGH TO AGREE TO SEX. you are out of touch with reality if you think teens are "innocent" and "naive" and "victims" when it comes to sex. if anything, the naive ones are you guys.

And yet the majority of US state laws state there must be at least a 2 to 4-year difference:

Georgia laws are the cruel exception here, folks.

 

[innonimatu]

Rape is not love and under-age kids cannot consent to sex. And yes, it does make him a pedo and a sexual offender.

So how do you know there was no love there, and that what happened was rape?
Or perhaps you are one of those who think laws, even stupid laws (“people under 16 are forbidden to have sex”), somehow have the power to change reality?

Too many religious fundies getting to write laws on that side of the Atlantic, that seems to be the problem with America.

 

[MobBoss]

Surely a 50 year old sleeping with a 15 year old is a much more serious offense than a 17 year old getting head from a 15 year old.

Don't tell me you agree with this ******** law?

As a father of three girls, sure I agree with the law. It is a standard, held equally among all who commit that crime. In order for the law to be '********' or 'unfair' you would have to make the case that it wasnt being enforced to its current standard.

I have no problem with laws like that as long as they are equally apportioned.

If you think it overly harsh, get elected to the Georgia state congress and change it.

 

[Xanikk999]

I think its crazy state laws vary for things like this.

For most things we do not need individual state laws. This is silly and unnesasary.

Sorry, but if they are under the age of consent and they are caught having sex. They should be tried. And how old are these teenagers having sex, most of them are over the age of consent in their local laws and some under the age of consent but have sex away from other people.

are you really this sheltered?

Sorry, But I am not sheltered.

Blah blah blah. They went through sex-ed did they not?

I think they are old enough.

Sorry, but not in the eyes of the law. If you dont like it, take it up to your state congressmen .

I guess your not answering my statements because they deal with the hard cold truth of these hypocritical laws.

They can't be, not since 2005 (for all minors) and since 1988 (for those under 16.)

TEENAGERS KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES.

Really? So I shouldn't expect to find any teenage pregnancies should I happen to stroll into a high school?

 

[TheLoneMan]

If you think it overly harsh, get elected to the Georgia state congress and change it.

Well, we should be able to just call up the Georgian congressman and tell him what we think of the law, and maybe encourage our peers to do the same.

This way, our representative will actually be representing us.

Of course, none of the politicians care about us.

They care about the nice corporations that fund their campaigns.

Lobbying should be illegal.
