I feel bad the guy’s live will be ruined. He should be punished but I have a feeling he will be punished with lifetime offender status..

There is a gray area
Lets say he was 18 and she was 14. He was HS Senior, she was Freshman.. Is it ok? (Still a crime)

Now he’s 22 and she’s 17, College Senior and College Freshman, is it ok.. (It’s legal)

Now he’s 13 and she’s 15.. is it ok? (It’s actually still a crime)

I believe that West Virginia has a “Romeo & Juliet” law of four years. So neither of these cases would be illegal there.

Use the “half your age + 7” rule. Works every time.

You are 18? 9 + 7= 16. (senior and sophomore)

22 gives you an 18 year old.

It isn’t the law, but definitely helps figure out the skeeviness factor.

You ought to go see this losers FB page before they haul it down...looks like he had a raft of teeny boppers in his list. Seems to have a preference for young, long-faced girls with long, dark hair. This incident doesn’t look like an accident. Yeah, if he knew she was 13...give him the chair. The law is the law—don’t break it. Don’t like the law...vote in reps that will change it. This guy needs to move to Greece—at least he’ll get a disability check!

Bottom line: We all know the law. We all know things change when you turn 18 and your friends don’t. Use the limited blood supply God gave us to let the correct portion of the body make decisions like this and DON’T MESS WITH LITTLE GIRLS!

The exact situation my Darling Daughter was in.

My ex, the evil slime mom, had no problem okaying her dating him.

*sigh*
