Lol, Lisa....you're right, we know you're right, but sometimes we old lions roar just to remind ourselves we still can
I had one kid from their church who was 19 and a freshman in college come by to get permission to ask one of dtrs out a few weeks shy of her 16th b'day. Told him I didn't approve but she was gonna have to make up her mind because if she really wanted to go out with him, there probably wasn't anyway I could stop them. But I insisted if they did date it had to be on her "turf"; i.e., high school functions.
Then I explained to him that since she was under 16 and he was more than 3 years her senior, sexual contact of any kind (kissing, touchy/feely etc) was sexual battery of a minor whether she consented or not...a felony. The good news was that it was only punishable by a max of 5 years since he was under 21. Then I said, I hope u don't pi$$ her off so that she files charges. Then I reminded him I'm a former prosecutor.
He reconsidered...decided to wait until she was 16. By that time she had found someone else closer to her age.
