- I'd have to say that this issue depends on the individuals involved.
- If a 14 year old boy and a 14 year old girl have mutualy willing sex then I'd
- couldn't see having the boy face criminal charges for this, sure lack of
- judgement may be at play here but not criminal intent. However if a 19 year
- old boy and a 12 year old girl do the same then I'd have to say that the 19
- year old should face charges. After all anyone of legal adult status should
- know better than to take advantage of an impressionable child. I guess for
- me its a matter of degree.
