Well there is no indication that they had sex before and after her birthday - but according to the law apparently it would have been legal the day before and illegal the day after; and I don’t believe it is changing the subject to point it out.

There are age of consent laws in many States, and in general I am opposed to them applying to any adult having sex with any 15 year old. I am more in support of ‘Romeo and Juliet laws’ and I think a four year span of age would be appropriate - this would cover the majority of partners in High School.

And yes, usually this crime is only prosecuted if a parent complains.

Please read the article before responding:

"In September, after Hunt turned 18, she and the other girl, a freshman, began dating and expressed their relationship in “intimate ways,” the family said."

Thanks so much.
