    No denny, you just refuse to see it.

    No system is perfect, including the present one as it does have the potential for prosecutorial abuse. But giving all the discretion to the parents is not understanding the dangers involved in these crimes and the severe lack of parenting that occurs in our society.

    What a weird discussion.

    One side is talking about pedophilia - the other about teenage sex.

    Denny, your whole argument is based on the notion that there needs to be one law to handle both situations. Why? I don't approve of drunk driving and I don't approve of texting while driving. I don't expect ONE law to deal with both situations.

    I will say this - at least we are past the days when only females could be victims of statutory rape. Well into the 20th century, many jurisdictions had laws that said if a 17 year old babysitter sexually molested a 12 year old boy, she was the victim and he was a "rapist."

    One side apparently thinks there is no difference between the two.

    The law protected a 13 year old girl from rape by a 16 year old boy. I'm sure there are millions of boys and girls having consensual sex without being prosecuted. Why is that? (I'm fine with it, that's a non-issue).

    17 year old boy and 12 year old girl. How do you handle that? Can the 12 year old girl truly consent at that age? (NO).

    The law to handle both situations is a tool that prosecutors can use to put the bad guys in jail. Whether the bad guy is 45 and the girl is 12 or the bad guy is 18 and the girl is 17. Either way, the trial is not going to be an assault on the victim as adult trials are. You know, where "she consented" is a defense and worse ("history of promiscuity").
