They even got their own island🤦

Your reference is your own comment? Shouldn't somewhere down the chain there be a link explaining this? It would be nice for you to be right, but I don't think you are.
If it were only about activities with other shouldn't be of age people, then it makes no sense. Either they are allowed and it's legal or it's illegal for both of them but neither can be considered criminally responsible because neither can legally consent either.
There are stories constantly about someone older having relations with someone way too young but the jurisdiction has age of consent to make it ok.

TLDR; it is immensely complex, varies country by country, but as a general rule of thumb, having sex with a minor whilst you yourself not being a minor will almost everywhere land you in trouble. As it should. ^applies to regular joe without powerful friends in powerful places only.^

“My momma cleaned hunter’s cabins and those hunters were real nice men if you know what I mean.”
I'm a bit dense. They were "nice" to each other, or "nice" to him, or they were actually nice looking, or...?
They would have sex with him.

wrote last edited by [email protected]For example, the age of consent in the US state of Delaware is 18, but it is allowed for teenagers aged 16 and 17 to engage in sexual intercourse as long as the older partner is younger than 30
16 and 17 is still under the age of consent, but they have a special exception for partners under 30. So the age of consent is still exactly what people think it is
Circumstances of the relationship
Generally it still looks like for those jurisdictions the age of consent is pretty much what people think it is, however the bar for consent is much higher. The Pennsylvania example is closest to what you describe, but seems to be that they basically prosecute for some other crime because age of consent is low enough but they have other laws. Guessing it's rooted in some provisions for young marriage but still able to prosecute premarital sex as corrupted morals.
In short to all these jurisdictions, just raise the damn age of consent instead of having all sorts of weird loopholes that make it sometimes ok for a 45 year old to get with a 14 year old.

Ah okay -- as in, he seemed to like it(?) but he was also way too young for it to have been having it

Fucking great band.

Why do you start every comment with an insult? Their question was reasonable and they didn't treat you the same. That really doesn't make you sound as smart as you think it does, especially when you're referencing yourself in your original comment, and the comment of your own that you referenced doesn't actually clarify anything, it's just another example of you insulting somebody and telling them that they're wrong.
Besides, age of consent laws differ in how they work based on what country you are in, and not everyone is from your country. You're expecting people to know shit they're not reasonably expected to know, and you're mad at them about it and being a child about it.

If "he's got a car and he's dead mature, like" is your main selling point, you need a better selling point. And to not be a fucking nonce.
In the 90s we didn't even know what a paedophile was. I don't recall even seeing that word before Sarah Payne was murdered.
It took a while for UK residents to get used to this new exciting word.
Hopefully today's kids are a bit more aware...
Oh wow that article's a blast from the past

I live in a country where the age of consent is 14, and this shit is still pretty common. I voted Fidesz because I thought they'd fix the situation, by rising it. They added a close-in-age exception, so if you're 17, you can prey on 12 year olds.
I hope that's the last time you vote Fidesz

My wife's sister dated a guy in his 30s when she was 19.
So much trauma for a decade.
I was groomed by a guy in his 40s when I was 16 to 18. He was also suspected to have sexually abused younger kids. I've been in a relationship with my current partner who's my age for over a decade now. The abuser knew very well how to take advantage of vulnerable girls. And yes. That trauma will stay with me. I still have nightmares. For the first year with my partner I would frequently wake up from these nightmares and be so relieved to be next to my partner to comfort me. I found out very recently that the asshole is still out and about, but got cancer, so there's some karma there.
I'm sure that if I had better friends and wasn't so lonely and had a better situation at home I wouldn't have fallen for this. These abuser really know how to pick their victims.

Yeah, it was 2010. My most regretted action.
The day that change was announced, I was so angry, I shaked and looked like that veiny guy in the meme, also didn't sleep a single minute that night.
-
Pretty sure that guy went to prison for math related activities.
I need to sleep
So did the meth guy, but for different reasons

In school, when I was 13, one of my friends was "dating" a 19 year old. I vividly remember how cool we all thought this was. Reflecting on it makes me feel sick.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Back when I was 13 I was jealous because the "worldly" older guys got the girls ...but the time I was that worldly age, I couldn't believe how gross the guys looking at young teens were.
Now I'm old and everyone under 30 looks way too young.....as it should.

16 is the Age of Consent in most places, that doesn't make it right, but I can only guess the district thought "Well if it's legal..." without thinking if it was appropiate.
That’s not how age of consent works you uninformed denizen softening the ground for pedos.
Educate first, then loud blab on the internet.
In the US, age of consent varies by state. In most US states the age of consent to sex with someone who is not in a position of authority is 16. Often with a close in age exception. 18 gets used in US media so much because that's what it is in CA and NY, and that's where most media is made.
18 is also federal age of consent, but that only applies when an incident involves crossing state lines.

Today I learned hunters are all gay

So your advice is to allow myself to be blackmailed. "If you loved me, you'd waste months worth of pay on a shiny rock I'm going to completely take for granted." Fuck off.
Apparently I married a unicorn. She explicitly didn't want a diamond but a sapphire and explicitly didn't want me to spend a fortune on it. Got her ring from an online jeweler on sale. Paid less than $300 for it. During the first Trump admin. We had talked about what she wanted and I found something close after shopping around. Then I held onto it for six months planning when to ask.

Graduating high school made me a hell of a lot more interesting to a couple of girls. I figured if they weren't interested before, they weren't interesting enough.
The difference being you weren't desperate enough to take "any hole is a goal" as a motto worth following.
-
Could be a gay couple and it's young men
True. I made an assumption, you have a point.
-
This just sounds like you were misled and it was awkward. I don't think you intended to chase young women.
When I was in high school in the 80s it was not uncommon for high school girls in higher grades to have adult men as boyfriends. One of my teachers in fact did it, and got put on leave for a while LOL.
I was hoping that's how it came across, since that's what happened. So thank you for the confirmation.
I've never been much for dating significantly younger women, since they're usually a bit unpredictable. By the time my SO and I got together, we were established in our careers and just looking for someone that wouldn't constantly stir up drama. Our relationship has thankfully been extremely drama free. If there's a problem we talk about it like the adults we are.

I honestly question what one does when you are dating someone when you are 15 and 17 respectively, which is no big deal, but then it becomes 17 and 19? Like you aren't really doing anything wrong, you've just had a relationship. But what's the legal take on that?
I know someone and this happened to her son, and he ended up on a sex offender database because he was 18, she was 17, and she sent him a nude or something and then cried foul to her parents. I just wonder about these grey areas. Believe it or not there is a subreddit for registered sex offenders so they can try and figure out how to navigate the details of life, and clearly some of their crimes are more along those lines than preying upon an actual child. I don't think you did anything wrong, I think you just got misled.

Thank god we've achieved clarity after addressing the assumption
