18 is not the "legal" age in the USA. It differs from State to State. Here in New York the legal age of consent is 17.

Certainly confusingly told.

 

"He met a 14 year old girl over the internet" Which would seem to imply she was 14 when he met her.

Yet he drove up to her in March 2008.

 

So perhaps it was 3 years + since they met or so and she's 17?

 

Ah well, guess it makes more sense if she's 14, otherwise he should have been smart and waited another year -_-

 

I assume the legal age in the US is 18?

You are correct sir, though a very fallible system I don't foresee them changing it anytime soon.  I know a fellow in my hometown that was dating a 16 year old girl when he was 18.  The parents didn't like him, turned him in, he sat in jail for a few years, is now a registered sex offender, and now married the girl anyway.

 

Lol,

Its not a very hard law to understand. As for it being a fallible system every system is....your home town buddy should have been registered as a sex offender because ....HE WAS. He broke the law, whether he felt he had a good reason to or not.

I have four daughters. Part of my job as a father to them is to help guide them in their relationship decisions. You better believe I would have anyone that had sex with them underage put away and registered as a sex offender. I could give a rats if it was some dumb kid barely 18 and somehow the two of them thought they were in love.

If they were in love they could always wait. But i know that's just to much to ask.

Its as easy as another poster put it.....dont eff a 17 year old.

 

 

  And if one of your daugthers was barely 18 and in this situation, you'd report and send her to jail?

Daddy pwns you cuz he cares!

 

Ofc not this is the typical attitude its good to quote the law as an excuse when its on our side, im guessing his answer would probably be something along those lines "the 17 year old boy made her have sex!".

 

This reminds me of the women who sued Mcdonald's after getting her lips burned on the coffee claiming they did not say the coffee was hot. Its like they say common sense is not so common.

Or he'll just go like judge Dredd "I AM THE LAW!", and report her to retrieve her purple gear? Eh tough daddy, don't forget to ask her password first

I havnt read the thread but i suppose its somehow blizzards fault for not having a check box to ask if you are a pedo and blocking account creation based on that. oh wait thats like the time i ordered a laptop from the USA and the site asked me if i intended to use it for terorist purposes.

I had read about this somewhere else, the met online when she was 10 and he was 20 but at that time she told him she was 14, so they met in person and had sex when she was 14 and he was 24.... but he thought she was 18 b/c that is what she had told him.

I hate how the laws here can be fucked so hard. There have been cases where 18 year olds have been charged and registered as sex offenders by either dating or having sex with a partner that was 17. More than likely caught by the parents and charged.
I understand the need to keep your kids safe, but do some of these people realize what being put on the sex offenders list does to someone?
As for the article, it doesn't really shock me. This has been going on since the internet was around, and it was only a matter of time before someone used an MMO for it.

There's states in the US that age of consent is 16, just saying.

The legal age in most parts of Brazil is 14, and every other part is 16.

tsk tsk Silly Pedos making it hard for themselves.

1. Helly Kitty Online is not out yet.

2. If it was, they'll be Hello Kitty Coppers to moderate that sort of thing from happening.

legal age is 16 down here in Aus, seems to work pretty well.

as for the story, thats not only sad but distrubing too.

If she was 17 that suxs.

I have friends that were lied to by 17 year olds that looked like they were almost 20.

Thank god none of them went to jail.

Here in NY girls are fully sexually active a the age of 15 atleast And believe me all of them look of age (18).

If one lies to a guy how is he supposed to know? hell people need those logans run lights on thier palms so eveyone could tell their age.

Hell.... I've been with my wife for well over 10 years when we first meet i was 16 and she was 15 we had sex early and by the time i hit 18 she was still 17, thank god I didnt pissed her off at that point lol.
