Well, you write like a chickenhawk.
Why? Because ALL age of consent laws make it “illegal one day, legal the next”.
Why is this age of consent law stupidly written?
And punishment should be doubled when the molester is a mentally ill sex pervert, btw.
Ok, I’ll try again. Some Romeo and Juliet laws are written so that the actual birthday doesn’t matter. What matters is the difference in actual age. It doesn’t matter if you turn eighteen on Jan 1st, for instance, what matters is the actual age difference...generally three or four years.
So, one person is always going to be “X” older than the other. Whether that’s today, tomorrow, or the day the oldest turns eighteen. IF the relationship is within that window of years, it stays legal when the oldest turns eighteen. If the difference in the ages in not within that window, the relationship IS NEVER LEGAL. This makes a lot more sense, and kids in high school should be made well aware of the law.
