“A guy who is 18 dating a 16 year old girl for example. And then if he gets convicted he has to register as a sex offender”
Why is “dating” and “having sex” equivalent now?
I’d let my daughter date an 18 year old. But she sure as anything may not be having sex with him.
No one is advocating that an 18 year old can’t like or date someone younger than himself. Just that they can’t do it.
I asked the same question yesterday, and feel the same way. I’d let my daughter “date” someone a few years older under certain circumstances, but the second he laid a finger on her, I’d report him. “Dating” is NOT synonymous with sexual activity.
