i've never been completely sold on this site's validity, but it seems to be able to backup the claims pretty well

Age of Consent - Sexual Consent Ages From Around The World



and i really dont think the guy needs to be charged with statutory...as other people have said, they were a couple, they'd been together for a while, they're only 2 years apart...its not like some 29yr old guy just met her, got her drunk & impregnated her...

Yeah, moderators need to do research before they go off on innocent people.

I could care less but it does seem a topic of interest. The Britney and now sis is a slut thing just doesn't rate that high in my list of issues facing the world I should really pay attention to. And while the boy is cute, I am so uninterested sexually in barely post-pubescent boys, especially straight ones, and especially ones so stupid they don't use protection.

So, without looking up the actual statutes (I am not going to pay a Westlaw or Lexis/Nexis charge for something I have no interest in), I would throw out there that generally, again without doing any legal research on the issue so don't go slamming me it I'm wrong, even if he was facing a statutory rape charge, he could beat the whole thing by just simply marrying her.

Not to give any advice, but funny how those laws work, ain't it, rape unless you make an honest woman of her.

because other people's serious problems are hilarious.

If he were charged the matter would be brought up. It is not the media's duty to charge him.

No. He would have to await the outcome of the court's decision.


Genarlow Wilson is Finally Free!

I'm not so sure dreamer20. I do not understand why he would have to wait until after the Court's decision (btw, it is not the Court's decision, it is the jury's) to wed. I am not aware of any case law that would lead to a Court having jurisdiction to issue an order preventing an otherwise legal marriage to take place within the parameters of this hypothetical criminal action. Even if this were the case, I doubt seriously any District Attorney would bring a case against a man of legal age for statutorily raping his two year junior betrothed.

Excuse me, but then you don't need to be here. There are no legal concerns for us. People think he's hot.

Don't read the thread then. God, what babies.

No, it DOES matter. In many states the age of consent in 16. Doesn't matter how old he is after that, or her. The only way he could be charged is if the family came forward and wished to press charges, saying that he forced her equaling rape.

It's not statutory rape unless he forced himself on her. Most states it's legal if you're at least 16 and willing. Give me a break.

BTW, on Perez Hilton, the Star is reporting that this guy isn't the father at all, but an executive from Zoey 101 is. This would fit with the pregnancy story that was going around two months ago. With these two white trash idiots, I wouldn't be surprised if it was their father.

You can take the 'trash' out of the trailer park, but you cant take the 'trailer park' out of the Trash. The Britney Bunch rides again, .......

I never said that he would have to wait to wed. This is what you said:

"if he was facing a statutory rape charge, he could beat the whole thing by just simply marrying her."


Could he beat the charge as a married man? Not necessarily:

OIC, thanks dreamer20. Now why can't everyone clear up misunderstandings that easily?

Interesting article you found. Though in the [hypothetical] case at point, the issue is an 18 year old and a 16 year old. Quite a big difference than a 22 year old and 14 year old (or 21 vs. 13 when she got preggers). I think a jury would find an 18 yo with a 16 yo quite sympathetic, if it ever got to trial, which would be an incredible waste of time, money and judicial resources.

statutory rape has nothing to do with force or consent. statutory rape is merely about age and whether or not she has the right in her state of residence to legally consent.
