Again, this is the case:

In 2006, a 13-year old girl from Ogden, Utah was arrested for rape for having consensual sex with her 12-year-old boyfriend. Her 12-year-old boyfriend was found guilty of violating the same law for engaging in sexual activity with her.

That’s the topic here. Are you saying the judicial system got it right in this instance? This is action by our judicial system that our laws should permit?

Why is it a red flag that I don’t experience a need to police the choices of others? I see it as a red flag that you do.

I don’t care when other people decide they’re ready to have sex. I only care that they have the liberty to do so, and don’t end up in the 12/13 Utah scenario in the OP in which both of them landed on the sex offender registry.

How concerned am I supposed to be that you specifically can’t think of a use for it?
