Age of consent laws (apparently sixteen in NH) that make it statutory rape between two high school students only two years apart in age are ridiculous.
Not at all..
To begin with age of consent laws that do not coincide with age of Majority Laws are horrible laws..
Such laws are self serving as Elected Officials, Prosecutors, Teachers and their friends legally use their money and positions to have sex with as many young girls (boys?) as they can talk out of their pants. (tell me the law doesn’t allow that)
Yet the Parents are still liable for the consequences of these actions.. The child’s education, health care and psychological well being.
The laws need to be amended to raise the age of consent to coincide with the age of majority..
Not further diluted and weakened.
