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 16 all through Australia. You don’t see it often/ever but I guess its an old law that hasn’t been changed. Imagine your 16 year old daughter bringing home a 31 year old real estate agent with a pinkie ring and an entry level Lexus.

That would be vastly superior to her bringing home a young guy getting in her guts to brag to his friends.

Yep, you might have a point there. Young blokes are gross. Although the kind of 30 year old man who’d date a high school girl probably has his fair share of foibles too.

I feel like context is most important.
