I believe the age of consent in DC is 16. Even so, it's very, very creepy. This wasn't an 18 year old senior hitting on a 16 year old sophomore at the local MickeyD's. This was a 50 year old guy hitting on a 16 year old...
Oh, I agree it's creepy. I just don't get why Barney Frank can have an affair with a staffer and didn't resign over it. Wasn't it a page he had the affair with or was it an older person?
