I think people forget just how much difference there is between a 14 year old and an 18 year old in terms of expereinces and mental growth, personality growth, maturing.
You look at the kid leaving middle school, and look at the young adults leaving high school, and there is a world of difference.

Hard to imagine a century ago or so, girls were married by 16, isn’t.
I’m not sure the older girl is criminal, but the law is the law and she should be treated just like a hetero would be. If the law needs to be changed, change it but it is what it is and she is probably sh..-out-of-luck.
Maybe half a century ago. In these times, I'm not seeing a whole lot of difference in maturity between 14-year-olds and 28-year-olds. :)
