The age of consent in Florida is 16, so it was technically criminal regardless of sexual orientation. They'll have to prove they were engaged in sexual activities, which I'm sure will be all sorts of awkward for both parents.

Then I want every single couple, where one of whom is over 16 and one under, prosecuted. Ruin all their lives.

Editado por HurtfulTurkey: 5/20/2013 6:59:03 PMWhy? It only applies to a situation where one is an adult and the other is a minor under the age of consent. And if you adjust your statement to say "Then I want every single couple, where one of whom is over 18 and one is under 15, prosecuted", then all you're saying is that you want the law to apply equally...but you're saying it sarcastically, so what you're [i]actually[/i] saying is that you [i]don't[/i] want the law applied equally. Food for thought.

Editado por Icy Wind: 5/20/2013 7:04:22 PMThe reason I said that is because this isn't a huge deal. If you go to any typical High School, there plenty of Seniors (17-18) dating underclassmen (15-17). And how often do you hear of charges pressed against them? None. The girls parents are homophobic assholes who are making it their goal to ruin Kaitlyn's life. They had her thrown out of her school, are potentially going to have her register a sex offender, and she could face up to 15 years in jail. If you think this is just about the ages, it isn't.

[quote]If you think this is just about the ages, it isn't. [/quote] I never said anything of the sort. All I've said in this discussion is what the law is and why there is a solid case against her. If they had sex any time after her birthday, she violated the law. Does it suck that the parents are using that because they seem to not approve of the relationship? Yeah, but it's still a crime. Like I said, the prosecutors will have to prove there was sexual activity, which should be pretty difficult when the 15 year old girl will likely not say anything.
