[Viva Le Dissention]

Looks like a FBI agent would know enough about the law to know that a minor can't enter into a legal contract

Not quite right. Minors can enter into legal contracts; however, the minor always has the option to disaffirm the contract if she so chooses, up until she becomes of age (in most states, the day before her 18th birthday). She can often even disaffirm after her 18th birthday, assuming she hasn't done or said anything indicating that she wishes to be bound by the contract.

So, for example, if I entered into a contract with a minor, I can't make the argument that the contract is void because the other party was a minor. The contract is perfectly valid unless the minor disaffirms it.

Excellent.

The contract is voidable whether executory or executed.

Moreover, certain contracts in most states cannot be avoided. Examples of such contracts are: student loans; contracts for medical care; for bank accounts; marriage and insurance. There may be others unavoidable contracts by minors once entered into.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification,but the fact remains that as a captive without the ability to exert her will,it was impossible for her to give consent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
