If there was a crime committed, who was the victim?
Technically, her.:Q
Ah, but if she was a willing participant, what makes it a crime other than the words in the lawbooks?
Because she's under 18, therefore she is (in theory) unable to consent due to lacking the wisdom, knowledge, and maturity to make an appropriate decision.
I'm by no means advocating watching her (whoever she is?) but I find that funny considering most people you know get laid during grade 9 or 10 in high school anyhow.
And that my friends is the hypocrisy of the law.
Just because a law exists does not automatically mean that it makes any sense. That's why citizens were granted Jury Nulification. It is the only power given to you as a citizen to checkmate a government passing laws which are deemed wrong by the citizens they are supposed to protect. It gives you the power to say the person is guilty but the law is wrong and hence must be freed and the law abolished.
It gives nightmares to Judges and the prosecution when a jury knows what it is. That's why you got jury screening. To make sure only ignorant people sit on a jury. Sad but true. You can guess what happens when one slips by them.
In this case the individual has the right to decide if what they are doing is agreeable to them. No one raped this girl on screen just because she wasn't 18. If 13 and 14 year olds can be tried as adults then perhaps 13 and 14 year olds are old enough to decide for themselves what they want out of life and government shouldn't be sticking its nose into it. The individual is responsible for themselves, be it right or wrong, they bear the consequences of their actions.
