And they're arresting the guy? The stupid future porn star is responsible for her actions regardless of what the law says. The idea that under a certain age you bear NO responsibility for your actions, and then BANG at a specific birthday you bear it all is not logical - legal maybe but not logical. The stupid future porn star is responsible for her actions regardless of what the law says.
and that she is now refusing to cooperate with investigators.
At least by refusing to rat out the guys she had sex with she is picking up a little of the responsibility for her actions.
This reminds me of a case here in GA several years ago where the parents of a 12 yo found a 20 something yo guy in her bedroom. He of course was arrested (and should have been for massive stupidity if for no other reason), but it turned out that the girl set up the whole thing on the internet. SHE was the internet predator, and the guy was caught with his pants down. The prosecutor quoted to the media that it was a shame that there wasn't anything he could do to her, since she was the mastermind behind the whole thing. She apparently wanted to get laid and decided that was how to go about it.
There's an old saying though, getting back to the legal issues, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law”.
I agree. Either a 14-year-old is capable of responsible decision making, or not. The law says she isn't, if she wants to have sex with a 21-year-old (or a 41-year-old), but she is, if she wants to have sex with a 17-year-old or get an abortion afterward.
Once the society says that sexual activity for unmarried people is a good thing, there is no logical point to draw a legal line, short of physical coercion.
Even if a teen is willing, adults are still responsible for their choice. We’re the adults and they are children. We’re supposed to protect children from predators, no be the predator.
