In neither case would a “romeo and juliet” law with a four year age span apply.

As to the middle school boy scenario, do you think if 11 year olds are ‘playing Doctor’ it should always be the boy who is prosecuted, and should be a lifetime ‘sex offender’?

How about an 11 year old girl with a 7 year old boy, should the girl be prosecuted? Do you think that would be likely?

Yes, I would have a HUGE problem if an 11 year old girl had had sexual contact with my 7 year old son.
