The age of consent is 16. Therefore, a 15 year old cannot consent to anything.

I'm aware that the law is (or was) written that way. In your book do you think it should be legal for two fifteen year olds to have sex with each other, but if one turns 16 and they continue to have sex, you want the older one sent to prison on a rape charge?

Videotaping a 15 year old girl performing a sex act is manufacturing child porn.

Maybe I'm nuts, but I see a difference between a 45 year old videotaping a 15 year old and a 16 or 17 year old doing the same. Do you?

The law was changed because of this case. The legislature never forsaw ranging legalism would lead to the prosecution of a kid for this. The legilature should have made it retroactive. It is a terrible miscarriage of justice and should be rectified. Why should the boy go to jail only? Why are girls not help responsible for their behavior?

The issue is the victim's age, not the perp's age.
