I am confused a bit, Our lawmakers keep pushing for higher "age of consent laws" while sex offenders keep getting younger and younger. what if this kid rapes an 18y/o and they cannot prove rape
beyond a reasonable doubt, does the prosecutor then go after the 18 y/o victim? being 15 now, with a 17 y/o boyfriend who turns 18 next month, he becomes a sex offender by law although I have been able to make my own informed decisions for a few years as I am VERY sure this kid is aware of what he is doing. Why cant he then be tried as an adult? he is doing what our legal system has determined to be adult conduct by legislation. He needs to be tried as an adult. I mean like, COME ON here, something is really screwed up here that he can even be allowed to offend the second time. We have such a double standard in this country. If he had a consentual sexual contect with an 18 y/o, he would then become a victim? obviously he is anything but. Sorry, but I have this argument all the time with my parents when I hear these kind of news. With the "internet age" even we kids have access to information we could not have had 20 years ago when my parents were my age. As a result of all this "information" we mature intellectually and psychologically at a much faster rate than in the past, and our laws have not kept up. There needs to be a complete overhaul of our legal system to represent todays times
