Interesting run on a topic here.
For Tplumeri, My comment was in general, the OP said it was consentual between the two parties, not me. I agree w/ what you said as I have daughters.
Antipitas, You can disagree w/ statutory rape all you want as whatever type of crime you care to call it. I however had a 15yr old stepdaughter preyed upon by a 21yr old. 6yrs difference. Please don't try and tell me that Statuatory rape doesn't exist.
We all saw and experienced some of this type of stuff growing up. I for one had a habit of dating older girls. Some of the low lifes in my class dated down a number of years as they were too immature to appeal to a girl their own age. When you see high schoolers trolling the middle school, something is wrong. Everything is relative in a lot of cases. My own eldest daughter is a very grown up 17yr old national qualifying Speech and Debater who happens to be dating a 19yr old. While I'm keeping an eye on things, they are about equivalent in maturity.
Sex offender registries are necessary on any number of levels.
