A few years ago, I found the public registry for sex offenders linked on my cities homepage. And being curious, I decided to have a look at it.

A lot of the guys listed were guilty of violent rape, molestation, and other such atrocities.

But there were also quite a few who were on there for statuatory rape. That seems a bit harsh to me, really harsh. When you're pegged as a sex offender, you can pretty much kiss your life goodbye. Theres no living it down, ever. It affects your buisness life, your personal life, and god forbid you ever have children...

It just seems really harsh for something as simple as statuatory rape. In my opinion, if the girl is 14 and she wants to consent, then it's her own damn fault. I dont think its right, mind you, and the guys that would go after girls that young are scum. But even I dont think they deserve to be condemned for life, if its consensual. Even if the girls 17, it can still ruin your life. And that doesnt seem right to me...not at all.

There was a seperate classification for sexual misconduct with a minor under the age of 12. That I can understand. Thats beyond fucked up, because at that age they cant really stop it. But at 14, girls are sleeping around like whores anyways, and if they willingly choose to be with an older guy, then...they bring it on themselves.

Agreed, mate. Agreed.

Did you Find This On The Web?

But yes, I am 100% behind you brother.

This belongs anywhere but IFIOTW. This thread isnt about the website, or about looking up sex offenders. I could see it going in SG, I could see it going in bitch and moan, but I put here because of the nature of the problem. I think statuatory rape is as relevent to sex and affection as anything else.

i see it as something that should be in place. yes, there are good (relativley speaking) people that get charged with statuatory rape. but, there are people who should be listed as sex offenders because of it. i know 14 and 15 year olds that are getting fucked by guys old enough to be charged with such.

the casual observer would thing "big fucking deal." but, i watch some of them, highly intelligent people, start doing shit they wouldn't have done if it wasn't for that one guy. skipping school. failing the easiest of classes. these girl's boyfriends deserve to be stuck with the sex offender label. they're succeeding in destroying someone's life.

my real life example: one of my 'friends' is 15 now. she's been dating this 18 year old guy here illegally from peru. back in december, they had sex for the first time. she was once doing well in her academic work and in band. now she skips school to be with him because she 'loves' him. one of these days, i'm going to get pissed off at one of them, call INS and have his ass deported.

I tried really hard to see that from your perspective. I really did. But anyone I look at it, it still seems like she's the one to blame for all of that. She's the only one responsible for her actions.

Indeed. Although he should be encouraging her not to skip school if he really cares about her. It's still her choice to though.

whether the laws are right, wrong, proper or ludicrous... An awful lot of folks post on here wondering if the age difference in their particular relationship is acceptable or not.

The fact is, that laws vary from state to state and from one country/region to another. And they vary not only to age and age difference, but also what kind of activities constitute 'sexual' involvement.

I would suggest that anyone seeking advice on such matters first check their local statutes and laws regarding the legality of their intended adventures. BUT and this is a major caveat: there is a HUGE difference between statutory law and case law.

In most jurisdictions, there is no such thing as "statutory rape", but rather sexual battery, whether it is by forcible action or merely sexual activity with someone who is either physically, emotionally or otherwise unable to grant consent to sexual activity. That can be due to age, mental capacity, or mental impariment due to drugs, alchohol or any other impairment to sound judgement.

In many jurisdictions, such as Florida, sexual battery applies not just to intercourse, but to virtually any kind of sexual activity... to wit:

"Sexual battery is the oral, anal or vaginal penetration by, or contact with, the sexual organs of another."

So eating a chick out ranks the same as fucking her. Same goes for her giving you a blow job.

But that is just how it is here in the sunshine state. Check out you own laws, and then check with a DA or your own attorney before doing anything that you might want to interpret on your own from reading the law.

I'm old fashion, so any form of casual sex is wrong in my opinion, and at that low age of 14, nothing is permanent so I consider is casual...

Same here, I read your post and that story he gave. But really, I am glad I live in Nevada. 16 is the age of consent here, which is just right if you ask me.

no. i fully agree with you that this was a result of her own choices, not his. but, if he's not there to skip with (i.e. back in peru) she stays in school. she has no reason to skip.

Do you have any idea how many 18 year old peruvians there are around?

I live in Miami, beat that! But really, I dont have anything against hispanics. They're usually pretty cool/laid back.

Its not a matter of them doing something wrong, it's you. You cannot have sex with them because you should know better, and they can not make good judgements. You in essence are taking advantage of the person.

W/e. I think its bullshit too.

And if a girl thats 19 had sex with a guy thats 15, there would be no punishment. If women want equality so bad, they should have equal punishments too.

It's not equal rights they're after... it's "we get as much as you guys have, but keep the advantages that we already had from being a woman."

So if I was 16, and fucked my 15yo gf (in aussie, dont know age laws of USA) would I be put up there?

Fucked up. Unless the guy is in his 20's(+) and the girl is 15, I don't see th eproblem.

If you're both underaged, i dont think theres a problem. I've heard of some rare cases where they can charge you both, but I think thats just a myth.

And if the girl is fifteen...then its her own responsibility not to be a whore.

Yes, it's bullshit. Here, the age of consent is 16, but if anyone over 18 (legal age one becomes an adult) has sex with anyone UNDER 18 it's illegal. It doesn't make SENSE.

I actually live in sunrise. I wonder if I know you in real life, it's possible.

15's legal...as long as they swallow the evidence
