Guess you have triple standards.

Statutory rape of a boy = ok
Statutory rape of a girl = bad
Statutory rape of boy by relative = bad
Statutory rape of girl by relative = double bad

Got it.

“Statutory rape of a boy = ok”

Do you understand what the word “Statutory” means? It just means there is a law. Laws are not always right.

15 year old boys are RARELY a “victim” when it comes to having sex with a female even if she is over 18 years old.

The law says different, but sometimes laws tend to be stupid.

And BTW, yes it IS wrong for a 23 year old male to have sex with a 15 year old girl.

In case you haven’t noticed, boys and girls are different.

Do I think it is appropriate for a 15 year old to be engaging in such behavior? No I do not. If he were MY son he would be in a world of trouble. But this is a moral issue. It shouldn’t be a legal issue. In this case the 15 year old is just as guilty of immoral behavior as the 23 year old (unless the 15 year old is mentally or developmentally handicapped in some way). So why does SHE go to jail and he does not? Makes no sense at all.

I understand why there are age of consent laws. The problem with them is that they do not take all the circumstances into consideration. They set an arbitrary number and that is it.
