This is odd.






I think it should follow those Romeo and Juliet laws, where it is mostly about age differences in addition to whether it was an actual assault, etc. Sexual preference should have nothing to do with it.
 
Hold on, the article doesn't explain anything at all what happend to that other 15 year old girl.

Was she assaulted or something? Because charges make it look so. If this 18-year old girl was arrested simply for being in a relationship with a minor, so where's this minor in all this and her parents? If they are the ones pressing charges, that's f**ked up. If they aren't, where are they to defend the girl that is arrested?

What a weird writing style for an article. I got no information at all except 18 year old is facing sentence.
 
So the parents of the younger girl are pressing charges?

EDIT
Ahhhh, I'm retarded. I thought that the end of the article is with the blue "Related" link. There's more stuff below that and some screenshot. I figured that's the end and it's just comment section below, like most commonly found articles.

Still good that you're questioning the statements in the article though. Some people jump to simply siding with one party without hearing all the facts (example: Trayvon Martin shooting case).

"In some jurisdictions (such as California), if two minors have sex with each other, they are both guilty of engaging in unlawful sex with the other person.[12][13] Most jurisdictions, as previously stated, consider the act itself to be prima facie evidence of guilt, as any consent between partners, even if freely given, does not meet the standard of law, as it is given by a person the law has defined as being incapable of giving consent. Thus the accused individual often has no defense."

Am I the only one that finds that to be ridiculous?
 
I think it's absolutely ridiculous.

No, but then again, there are a lot of insane laws, and policies.

Any semblance of common sense has LONG single left what we think of as laws.

For example resisting arrest is oftentimes the ONLY charge against people taken into custody.

There is now a clear cut distinction between being "taken into custody" and arrest. Law enforcement is not supposed to be able to take you into custody unless you are performing an illegal act though. Funny little catch 22.

In fact SCOTUS has ruled that it's legal to resist with any force, up to and including lethal force, an unlawful arrest.

Perverted Prank: Photo of Naked Sixth-Grader Passed Around At School « CBS Sacramento

I mean is anyone really surprised that sixth grade students - boys - would be passing around pictures of a naked girl?

Now these kids face potentially being labeled as sex offenders for the rest of their lives.

It really does seem like there is no common sense left in schools or law enforcement. Just strict adherence to half assed policies.
 
I blame religion for demonizing sex.
