Now this is actually a question I came up with from a movie I was watching the other night, it was actually a decent movie. If a adult, meaning over the age of consent willing rapes (shows the intent, leaves evidence, as well is tried AND convicted) a person UNDER the age of a consent. Will he/she be tried for Rape, as well Statutory Rape?
I actually wish I could remember the name of the movie so I could share it. Continentally, since these would be tried in a criminal court, would it be possible to take both cases to CIVIL court, and get the dead beat to pay for damages, or does that actually violate the amendment that states you can’t be tried for the same crime twice?
