I agree, and every state is different as well. Here in Indiana the consent age is 16, guess they figure if you can drive a car you should know about the birds and the bees.
Do I think he’s an a-hole? Absolutely, but not one that should go to jail if it was consensual, there’s enough criminals that need to be behind bars for that space than an old pervert who has 4 kids to take care of that were willingly created.
I assumed the age being talked about was in that teenaged area. I don’t know what it is in the body clock that makes somebody seek someone young. Nor do I endorse it. My wife and I were within two years of each other. My son was within six months of his own bride. My daughters each married young men seven years older. Go figure.
And most anything Ralph Northam does, I oppose.
