I've been reading some questions and it seems like everyone seems concerned about age differences between minors a nd ..18 year olds. I think thats it's not a big deal...I know tons and tons of kids having sex with 18 year olds and older when there 15,16,17. I know none who have gotten caught or in trouble for it (besides with parents perhaps). Satutory rape laws are difficult to take seriously when your talking two consenting teenagers. For many people the age difference is just one year. In many states (mine included) the age of consent is 16..but thats only for sex.... you can't get in much trouble doing EVERYTHING else except for actual penetration if your 13. What do you all think of this. Do you think statutory rape laws are a godo reason not to date someone who is 18+ when your a year or two away? If so please explain why? If your descrete and always behind closed doors? Just wondering people's views.

This is a really sensitive subject. Statutory laws are in place to protect minors. I think sex is ok, IF the age gap is only one or two years, not like a 30 year old and a 16 year old. If I were 17 and liked an 18 year old, I wouldn't let the laws stand in my way.

Well about the only point I can make here is, statutory rape is that, period. You're misinterperting the laws. So I really hope some kids out there are going to round third base, based on this.
You see, I work in a jail, currently we have about 15 locked up for that---you see, it's a law that's taken quite seriously, now mix in a district attorney that's making a name for himself or up for re-election and some really pissed-off parents, then you're going to jail. And you know, that's a record that follows you everywhere you go.
Consider having " CONVICTED 2006 STAT. RAPE" popping up on your job applications for the rest of your life. Of course it's ok if you want to work fastfood the rest of your life.
Goodluck with it.
