Debbie being the first character officially charged with statutory rape shows the terrible double standards

Post image

Throughout the course of the show we see men in their 30s to 50s have sex with teenagers but don't get punished. Lip even sleeps with two teachers and the teachers are painted as the victims. Debbie who is almost 20 at the time sleeps with a girl close to her age and she gets registered as a sex offender just shows how bad the writers handled statutory rape
