And if he’d been 18 then he should’ve been prosecuted? What if she was 14 and he was 17?

The law does not distinuish between the minor who is 18 and drunk and the minor who is 20years and 11months and drunk. Both are in violation of the law.

I can tell you are another of the law worshipers. I know it is a hard thing to ask in this age, but is it too hard for our legal system to use good reason and critical judgment? 10 years for a minor having oral sex with another minor only 2 years younger! 10 years! The villain in this case isn't the 17 year (he was just stupid). It is the legal system that threw his life away. And it is the people who worship that legal system and excuse any outcome as long as it follows "the rule of law."

I have no idea what you are trying to say. Neither 18 or 20 are minors.

What the hell is a 20 year old minor? I was in the Marines when I was 17.
