Yeah, I forgot how many states are so damn creepy about age of consent. I think the alleged rape happened in Florida though, so the issue is moot, but still worth pointing out.
But also, our national definition of an adult is 18, so how the hell can the states be so different on consent? Federalism has its downsides I guess…
Curious if the downvotes are because I wasn’t totally right about the law, or something else?
Well, unfortunately…
(And because I know people will assume otherwise unless I state plainly this is not a defense of the rapist)

I think a lot of these are covering Romeo and Juliet scenarios. 19+16 is def not ok in a lot of those.
