It wouldn't surprise me if that is what made him settle.

You may be right and he isn't, but if she was deemed underage, does that not make her a child by law? I dont know

Anyone here under the age of 18 is a child, doesn't mean they are not above the age of consent.

Apparently, for the State they were residing in, 17 was underage

If that was the case as I said earlier why was he not accused of rape. Or are you suggesting that the States DA office and the complainants all took pity on him and didn't accuse him of the more serious crime?

The DA was not involved in the civil action

Based on what you’ve posted I’m not sure you understand what rape is.

Does the age of consent mean that anyone under that age isn’t legally allowed to give consent and therefore it would be classed as rape?

 

[Mon Autre]

What is the actual accusation?

I don't believe rape was something that he has been accused off. Just that at the time she was under age.

As an FYI sleeping with someone who is over 14, but under 18 now is considered a misdemeanor in most US states.

The bloke is obviously a cretin, but I don't put him in the same basket as people sleeping with 7 year olds for instance.

Regardless of age, if the complainant has been coerced into having sex (which she said she was) then it can fall into the realm of rape.

I'm suggesting nothing, simply relaying what was said on TV that she was underage

It was a civil case. The plaintiff decides what the accusation is

They are..... if the two consenting parties are aged 16 and 17 nothing would happen. But when one is 17 and the other in his 40's or older it is slightly different.
I think the age difference has to be no more than 3 years difference and that one party has not exerted power over the other (taking mental ability into it).
I worked in a children's home and the kids (all 60 of them spread over 5 houses on one site) would be up to all sorts. If something sexual happened between kids and they were more than 3 (it may even have been two, certainly if they were younger) years between them then we had to call the social services.... if within that period it didn't become an issue if consensual.
