This is an interesting topic. Actually, I'm supportive of a progressive legislation, where age of consent begins at 14. By "progressive legislation", I mean that 14+ year old minors can have sex with people within an age difference (~4 years, and not younger than 14 mind you), while adults can have sex with any other consenting adult.
Even though people often havean understanding of sex at 14, I don't think these young people should be open to predators, for two simple reasons:
- People this age are still quite easy to manipulate, especially in that they haven't completed (sometimes not even begun) their sentimental learning. Blind trust is often found in people this age, which can be especially problematic with an egoist adult making a teenage girl pregnant.
- People this age have very different expectations from their relationships than adults. Especially for virgins, who'll be pressured by the adults into having sex very quickly (sex is an absolutely necessary part of adult relationships, it doesn't come as naturally in relationships between 14 or 15 year-olds)
I have seen this kind of problems in a couple between a 14 and a 17 year-old, and I can only expect these problems to be worse if an older adult preys on the young.

I have to go to work here in a while so I don't have time to respond to this thread, but statutory rape impacts more ages than simply the 30 year old and the 13 year old. I have personally experienced all the ins and outs of this law. My girlfriend of the time was 7 weeks away from the age of consent, and I was in my 20's her parents busted us, and consequently it went to court. I loved this girl (and still do but that's another story), but her mom was mad as hell and basically wanted to see me fry. At one point I confronted spending a large majority of my life in prison. My girlfriend thought it was all bs, but that didn't matter, basically the parents have total discrection in this matter. After a long legal fight which cost me every single cent I could scrape up for an entire year, I finally managed to work out a plea bargin.
Anyways, I basically managed to get the lowest penalty possible, which was a contributing to the deliquency of a minor charge. I've been on probation for about a year, and I have four months left (whoo-hoo!). In that time, I've finished up college (even getting on the dean's list while being under indictment for multiple felonies!). I have a decent job (having a criminal record really hurts your employeement chances even if it is only a misdemeaner, far more than I realized when I agreed to the plea deal) and hopefully when I get off of probation I'll find a better job. I'm also writing a book about my experiences, who so knows hopefully I'll become a published author one day. The worst part of my sentence was a restraining order, barring me from contacting her until I get off of probation besides one phone to her after my court date. Well her parents disconnected their phones so I didn't get my legal phone call to her after court, but I did get an update on her from a mutal friend a few months ago.
Anyways, since my court date she dropped out of school. She's also pregnant, and the guy (who's in his early twenties and she's in her late teens) basically lives with her and her parents now. She doesn't have a job, and he works at a Pizza place. Most importantly, since he was from the same town (I was from a different town), the parents didn't have a problem with how things turned out. When I found all of this out, I wanted to kill myself because it broke my heart so bad. I never cry, but I cried about this. I had seriously planned to propose to her on the day I got off probation, but things happen I guess. So in the end did the law protect her? I suppose you could say it did, but it doesn't sound like it did to me. My friend said she loves the new guy, so if she's happy I guess things didn't turn out to bad for her. As for me, it's been a rough couple of years because of this, but oh well. I'm making it just fine, and in just a few months I'll be making it even better, so it's all cool I guess.

Make way for the teen!
I’m set to be 16 in a few months time, and I can’t say I was ready to decide to have sex last year, or even now. Most of the girls I know that are having sex early on in their life are experiencing it drunk, stoned and sometimes both. These are the children who make themselves ‘look older’ in order to go to a club, get served alcohol and pull, so they can brag about it to their friends back at school. They usually end up being the kids who get bad exam results and have a career in Tesco and the like.
That said, I tend to go for older men as ‘partners’ and encourage my peers to do the same. Embarking on a sexually active relationship with one of them at this age is not something I am wholly prepared to do; I would not like to be responsible for sending my man to prison for a bit of kinky fun. Argue maturity as much as you like, but if they’re mature enough to decide to have sex, shouldn’t they be mature enough to respect the law?

My knowledge of latin comes from singing it, and it consists of not a whole lot. My name and my sig were both cut and paste jobs from the net I'm afraid...
