Is it OK for a 15 year old to date an 18 year old?
Because in Florida [url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/19/kaitlyn-hunt-florida-teen-felony-same-sex_n_3302713.html]you can be arrested and be charged with "lewd and lascivious battery", and be kicked out of your school[/url] it.
What terrible parents.
Edit: The pair were dating since the beginning of the school year at which time the girl who was arrested was 17. All parents were aware they were dating. The parents of the other girl pressed charges once she turned 18.

7 RepliesI don't know, 18-15 is pushing the bounds of good taste. We should all be able to agree that the age of consent exists for a reason. We should also agree that the age of a majority exists for a reason. I would also think that most people are going to cringe at the idea of a person over the age of majority targeting someone under the age of consent for sex. In this case, one is just above the age of majority, the other one just below the age of consent. It also seems irrational because the two started the relationship legally and it only became illegal once one passed that invisible line. But, that's where the lines are. Most states provide a 3 year age gap for just this scenario. I would guess Florida does not, since she is charged. I don't know, I can see the gray area in this one, but if push comes to shove, I'd prefer a no tolerance policy on people over the age of majority having sexual relations with someone under the age of consent over watering down statutory r@p3 laws or enforcement.
