When I was growing up I was taught 3 numbers...17, 5, and 10. The meaning of these I was told is,17 and under will get you 5-10. The 17 was in reference to the girls age and 5-10 the years you could spend in jail.

Times have changed quite a bit, now the numbers are 16, 2, and 20, 16 yrs and under will get you 2-20 years in jail.

That's exactly what happened to a 19 yr-old who went to a party and met a teenage girl and they had consensual sex.

The only problem was that the girls parents did not consent.

The girl apparently did not tell the boy her age which was 14.

Even though they had consensual sex she was only 14 and he was 19.

He is now charged with rape and faces possible jail time.

Nothing can be done about it now, but the next time the young man meets a woman I bet he will ask for photo I.D.
