These stories are becoming so common as to only elicit mild interest. Again the female (go to the original article for booking photo) doesn't look like she would have a hard time attracting, um 'age apoproprite' male attention. Our culture is charging at warp speed as we watch.

You need to read the entire story. Very weird, even for Florida.

The mother of the 15 year old sounds like a real peach, too. And a 31 year old man involved? And a 5 year old in the same bedroom?

New Smyrna Beach woman admits to sex with 15-year-old

I guess after having sex with a 15-year old boy (refractory period between intercourse likely measured in microseconds), she really DID feel like a New Woman!

The hetero age of consent has bounced around, usually bottoming out around puberty. Gay marriage, however, has never been part of the historical experience.

http://www.economist.com/news/international/21632522-laws-teenage-sex-are-converging-so-thinking-about-their-purpose-how-young-too


IN 1275 an English judge condemned a man for “ravishing” a girl aged under 12, the legal minimum for marriage at the time. Three centuries later the rape of a ten-year-old prodded another judge to ban mitigation pleas for the “benefit of clergy”, which had allowed defendants who could read a few words of scripture to escape the death penalty for capital crimes. By the 1880s most countries had set an age, usually between ten and 13, below which children were presumed too young to consent, making intercourse with them a crime. In the following decades, pushed by campaigns to protect children from sexual exploitation, many countries raised their threshold to between 16 and 18.

Now, attempts to balance child protection and teenage freedoms are seeing those clear lines blur. Instead of a single answer to the question, “How young is too young?” many countries are shifting to a “patchwork system of rules and exceptions”, says Kaye Wellings, a sexual-health researcher at London University. How serious an offence is, or even whether one has been committed, can depend on the age gap between the parties, as well as more subjective factors such as emotional maturity and the evidence of harm done.

German prosecutors consider whether a 15-year-old was capable of “sexual self-determination” when deciding whether to prosecute a sexual partner. In 2003 England created a lesser offence for sex between a 16- to 18-year-old and an under-16-year-old—and barred anyone charged with sex with someone aged under 13 from pleading mitigation. “Romeo and Juliet” laws in several American states exempt close-in-age couplings from prosecution. (Shakespeare’s Juliet was around 13, Romeo probably older.)

One reason for the shift is an acknowledgment that adults’ rules have limited influence on what teenagers get up to in private. Surveys show that a quarter of teenagers in Britain, for example, are sexually active below its threshold of 16. But strict laws when the age gap is wide, or the child very young, make prosecuting hardened child-abusers easier—as highlighted by the recent convictions in Britain of several celebrities for under-age sex in the 1970s and 1980s.

The new approach is in the spirit of 19th-century campaigns, says Stephen Robertson, an American academic who studies the history of sex and the courts, in seeking to protect the young from abuse and to limit predation rather than fornication. In 1887, as part of a drive to have rape treated more seriously, America’s Christian Temperance Union cited the “frightful indignities to which even little girls are subject”. Many states raised their thresholds from ten to 14 or 15. Around the same time, London’s Pall Mall Gazette detailed the lives of child prostitutes and greedy procuresses in a series billed as “abominable, unutterable, and worse than fables yet have feigned, or fear conceived”. England’s age of consent went from 13 to 16 as a result.

"She manipulated him."

The one line in the story I could understand completely.

Later though, the mother admitted to Morris that she had brought Belue to her house on Aug. 15, the report states. The mother said that if Belue and her teenage son were "serious about getting married, they could do that," the report states. The mother said she gave Belue a "cheap" ring that could be used as an engagement ring, the report states. The mother then added that she was not serious about allowing her son to marry Belue.

The teen boy said he had sex with Belue because he was intoxicated and she “manipulated” him, the report states.

Sure kid, we believe you. I always hated it when I was “manipulated” in my teen years.

At least she wasn’t a teacher in his school.

It sounds like he had the time of his life as long as she was semi-cute.

The teenager told police that Belue's 5-year-old son was also in the room but did not see anything, the report states.
