Wrong. Statutory rape is sexual intercourse with a person who is below the legal age of consent regardless of whether or not that person entered into the sexual act willingly, gave permission, or did not resist.
The legal age of consent in California is 18 and in Louisiana it is 17.
I've lived in Louisiana so I know this for sure.
I was not advocating for the guy to get hit with statutory rape charges I was simply pointing out a media bias between his case and a case in the past.
Please, if you don't know what you're talking about, at least do your research before you post.
