This is ridiculous and I'm struggling to see how this even happens. Where's the public interest argument?
A 17 year old and a 15 year old are in a relationship. One turns 18 and suddenly she's arrested? This is grade A stupidity, unenforceable and someone selectively applying the law in response to parents angry that their daughter prefers other girls. Honestly, how many parents would have done this to an 18 year old boyfriend?

I knew someone whose parents threatened to have her boyfriend charged with statutory -blam!- if he kept seeing their daughter. Also, they shouldn't convict for obvious reasons, even if I don't have a legal argument why.
