Most of those states have different rules for teachers (or anyone in a position of authority over the "victim").

"It's not rape rape" is the 'excuse' people use when 30 year old men sleep with 11 year old girls. That is rape rape. I know plenty of girls who lost their virginity that young, but they sure as shit didn't know what they were doing when they did.timetokill said:This sounds suspiciously like "well, it's not rape rape."
The point is, it's rape when you have sex with somebody who does not or cannot consent. Legally speaking, this person could not consent, therefore it is rape. Furthermore, the term "statutory rape" isn't even used in the language of most criminal statutes.
Not really. An adult sleeping with a 16 year old, whilst more than a bit creepy, isn't a monstrous act.Flying_Phoenix said:If the genders would have been reversed, GAF would be all:

.GqueB. said:At the age of 16, I think most boys are completely aware of their actions and completely willing/able to consent to sex with someone that is an adult. The law is strange. It somehow suggest that in the next TWO YEARS this boy will suddenly gain the right mind to consent to sex with an older woman. What life altering events will this boy experience in the next two years that will suddenly make him able to do this?

See, turns out teenage girls are fucking idiots and as soon as you tell them "No, you're too young" they revert to this "Oh, he won't have sex with me so it's totally okay if I flirt with him all the time and grab his junk because he's totally okay with not wanting to fuck me." Like they figure you're "safe" so they can play at being sexy or something.

I would say 14. 4 years of "maturing" makes more sense to me. 16 is just an odd age to suggest that someone is 2 yrs away from being able to consent to sex with an older person. 2 yrs is nothing. And its technically 1 yr since 17 is considered the age of consent in many states. How is that logical?Lost Fragment said:There has to be a line drawn somewhere, because you can apply this logic to pretty much any age.
Just to set the record straight since no one said anything... 13 is age of consent in Japan at the federal level. However, each of the prefectures have made laws setting the age of consent much higher, most of them at 18.timetokill said:And it's like 14 or something in Japan. what's your point?
Just because you have that opinion doesn't mean squat. Unless you frequently propose new law. Others could argue against 14 down to 13 or 12. After all in Jewish communities a bar or bat mitzvah is held at that age...so why not?[/sarcasm] His point is still valid. The government has drawn a line and if you cross it, it's considered rape.

In the case of driving I feel its more justified. You get your learners permit at 16, you spend 2 yrs practicing with a parent in the car and you get your license at 18. You're actively completing tasks in those two years in order to further prepare yourself to drive on the road solo. What is that same person doing in those same two years to prepare themselves for consensual sex with an adult? Reading books on how to fuck consensually? Maturing at a rapid rate?
I guess its the whole "ok nooooooooooooooooow youre ready" aspect that doesnt make sense to me. But as I said, the law is pretty much there protect vulnerable horny teenagers. But its still stupid and bizarre.

Suairyu said:I'm not defending sex with people who aren't old enough to consent here. I'm saying 16 is plenty old enough to consent. This is a case of 'sex with willing individual under the age of legally defined consent', not a case of 'sex with individual who does not consent or cannot consent'.
Thus, no matter what some backwards law says, it isn't rape.

Amy McElhenney, 25: Charged with having a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old male student, the 25-year-old Hebron High School Spanish teacher and former Miss Texas contestant will not be serving any jail time after a Denton County, Texas, grand jury refused to issue an indictment in September 2006. While the age of consent in Texas is 17 years, a state law bans sexual relationships between educators and students even if the student is of legal age and the relationship is consensual. She could have faced 20 years in prison if indicted and convicted.

Actually, by law, that's exactly what it means.Just because the law says they cannot consent does not mean they cannot consent.
Statutory rape and rape do not go hand in hand automatically. By your definition, if a 16 year old has sex with his 17 year old girlfriend, he just raped her and she him because neither could consent. Paradox!
I'm sure the 16 year old kid was packing a pencil dick for sure. That 31 year old beat up pussy of two kids felt nothing of his slim jim. Heck, she probably used the vodka bottle on herself.Jason's Ultimatum said:Dude's alright looking.......unless he has a tiny penis.
What the law says and what the truth of the matter is are two completely different things in this case. By definition, you can consent whenever you like. By psychological/sociological definition, something in 14-16 age range is probably when you can safely say someone has a grasp on what sex is and make their own choices about it. Some even younger than that, though laws should always err on the side of caution. By legal definition, in the USA you cannot unless you're 18. Which is stupidly high. If by 16 you are not actually able to consent or not consent to sex then you have learning difficulties to the degree you will never be able to consent to sex/trauma that will take years of therapy to work through.JayDubya said:That law defines the age of consent. If you're younger than it, by definition, you cannot consent [...] But what you just said is just wrong.
No, it means the law does not give them the authority to consent, not that they can't consent. You would have to strip an individual of their own personal free-will (I mean literally, not legally) to say they are not in a position to consent when their mind is is mature enough to evaluate the situation. The law says you cannot murder people, yet murderers are able to commit murder. Do you see my point here. A 16 year old can absolutely consent. The legal status of that consenting is another matter entirely.Actually, by law, that's exactly what it means.
It depends on your definition of "right."Suairyu said:Just because the law has the ability to disregard the facts doesn't mean the law is right.
Right as in factually accurate. I'm not talking in moral terms here.XiaNaphryz said:It depends on your definition of "right."
Not my definition, yours. You are the one claiming that anyone having sex under the legally defined age of consent is being raped. So under your definition, two 13 year olds having consensual sex are raping each other.By your presumed definition of the age of consent at... say, 15, two 13 year olds could fuck each other and both be raping each other too. Or are you including a clause that says that kids can fuck each other as much as they want?

The age of consent is there to protect underage people from being taken advantage of by of much older adults. If you tried to take a 13 year old boy and his 14 year old girlfriend to court and charge them with underaged sex you wouldn't get very far. They consented the sex, even if many would argue they didn't understand what they were doing (in my personal experience, most people know what they're doing by the age of 12. Intellectually, at least).timetokill said:Okay, I'll bite. Let's hear your definition, then? And is it totally cool in your opinion for two 13-year olds to fuck?
See that's a difference of viewpoint there. In Europe, sex is culturally accepted as something you begin once your body lets you in some cases. It's about whenever you as the individual feel ready, whether that is age 11 or age 23. The age of consent is there to prevent adults preying on younger ones uncertain about what they want to do, taking advantage etc., not to prevent teenagers fumbling around and figuring it all out for themselves.JayDubya said:18 isn't that unreasonable. It's the age one graduates from high school, leaves home, is able to vote, is able to work or join the military. At 18 you are wholly responsible for what you do on so many other topics...
Sex is an adult activity with adult consequences. Unless you're willing and able to deal with those eventualities like a responsible adult, you shouldn't be partaking in the activity.
I may be mistaken but i'm not 100% sure we're disagreeing here.Lost Fragment said:Well, there are other factors to consider here.
Like, how well-prepared is a 14 year old gonna be to take care of a kid if they don't use protection and get knocked up? Not like a 16 year old is gonna be much better off, but at least you can legally work at 16 in most (all?) of the country. Most places let you drop out of school at this age too. And you can drive, etc. 16 makes sense in a lot of ways.

In the UK, where the age of consent is 16, you couldn't even take a 16 year old boy to court for having consensual sex with his 15 year old girlfriend.
Would you call that case rape?

To extend the question to where I believe you'd next take it - a 13 year old and an 18 year old engaging in sex. Broadly speaking, no. The 18 year old does know better. They are in the position of responsibility to say no. In many cases, despite the 13 year old giving their consent, they are not mature enough to fully comprehend giving that consent. The 18 year old should realise this and say no. That doesn't make it rape if he doesn't act responsibly, it's the term 'statutory rape' - technical rape due to the individual not being able to give consent.
A certain tabloid and a rather hardline feminist group had a field day and with comments such as "man allowed to get away with rape" or similar, but pretty much every other comment, even from rival rags and groups, saw it as a victory for common sense.Brian Griffin said:You mean society actually looked at the context of the situation and the maturity level of the minor instead of immediately labeling the guy a pedophile child rapist?

If you don't, then the age of consent is meaningless.

She can't consent to sex, so if he has sex with her, he has had sex without consent. That is rape, no ifs, ands, buts, or technicalities. Just rape.
