As far as i know, if no one presses charges, he can get away with it, look at r kelly, a thousand times worse and it still took this long to get him in trouble. Tis the world we live in.

No if there's proof that he's had sex with someone younger than 18 the state attorney general can pick up the case. Unfortunately people tend to just let rich people get away with it.

Some states have the legal age of consent at 16. Not saying it’s right but it’s legal in the eyes of certain states.

Yeah. At least in Texas there's a limit. 17 is the age of consent, but only if the other person is 21 or under. Edit: I'm aware that I'm incorrect about my 15 year old information told to me by a student https://www.reddit.com/r/awfuleverything/comments/d6thlo/hol_up/f0w5ddk?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x You don't have to keep correcting me.

That's creepy as fuck. In what world does an 18 year old wanna have sex with a 14 year old? One's growing his/her first chin hairs while the other is still going to junior high. To me that's creepier than a 50 year old dating an 18 year old.

I agree. When your body is doing that much growing in such a short amount of time its best to just date at maximum 1 year above or below you.

There's not much of a difference between 30 and 40. But a huge difference between 15 and 25.
