on an off note to this discussion...

statutory rape is one of the hardest charges to beat if the 'victim' is under 16. Mostly because the parents feel their child was taken advantage of, and as the child isnt a adult yet the power to prosecute lies within the parents OR the state if the parents decide they dont want to press charges.

believe me the state will pick up as many cases as it can to get convictions.

its all about money, a conviction or cop out means money for that state and a better image towards the public
