You are unhinged and have issues.
It's not just under sharia law. Such things have been permitted under the law in English-speaking nations, as well as numerous others.
But you already knew that.
Nowadays, America is actually considered one of the most "Puritan" nations on this issue, but in the not-so-distant past, community standards were somewhat more "relaxed"...
Age of Consent
During the 19th century, the age of consent in the United States varied between 10 and 16, depending on the state and year. The age of consent was the age when it was determined that a boy or girl — but most often, a girl — was capable of consenting to any sexual activity.
18 U.S. Code § 2423 - Transportation of minors
Current through Pub. L. 114-38. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)
US Code
Notes
(a)Transportation With Intent To Engage in Criminal Sexual Activity.—
A person who knowingly transports an individual who has not attained the age of 18 years in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any commonwealth, territory or possession of the United States, with intent that the individual engage in prostitution, or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned not less than 10 years or for life.

Holy crap! Somebody could have seriously SWAT’d him.
No, I’m not unhinged but yes, I do have issues. I pray that no teenage girl in your family is ever raped and taken advantage of. It happened in mine and the feeling of helplessness is horrid. Let me ask you. Would you be so cavalier if this were your daughter? Would you say, oh well in days of old she was old enough to get married?
It would never get to the point the situation with this girl did in the first place.
“age of consent” laws. Been lots of debate about those recently mostly by politicans who want to lower to age so perverts may sexually abuse children and get away with it.
Past 100 years America as sought to keep our children as children until they are 18 sometimes until they are 21 regarding a lot of other things.
Don’t see that as a bad thing.
We want our children more educated and not running off and getting married at 13 as in the past. Or married off to old coots like in muslim countries. Or like what this man was trying to pull. She is a child in our eyes and will remain so until the day she turns 18.
Good luck. I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers because you just never know. Don’t ever say never!
Thank you so much. Don’t know how you do that! Keep that pic...for future reference.
Bingo! Thanks
YOU shut up, Az Joe.
“Making out?” - OR - Was it more of his grooming of the
teen?
He’s in deep doo-doo. A fifty year old man who will most
likely spend the rest of his life behind bars. (Not my
call. I’m not the judge who’ll sentence him -
possibly - as a resident of Maury County, might be on
the jury.) Relax, though, EVERYONE is innocent before the
law, unless proven guilty.
You’re a might slow learner. That’s the 2nd time you’ve threatened legal action on FR. Take another week off.
Next time I’ll ban your ass.
Don’t believe in freedom of speech huh?
Nope. Not free speech for Az Joe. He has done got on my
nerves; and if you go a-vilifying Twinkie with any more
“free speech” stuff, Twinkie will make you think FREE
SPEECH - AND you will also have to wear a pink hat & march
in a Hillary parade for your show of remorse!
Let’s let it play out and see if at the end of this tale she was kidnapped.
OK
