You just pissed me off. If you were the one raped, you wouldn't say that. If a 40 year old decides to have sex with a 17 year old, he should "face time but not serious time"? Do you have ANY idea how this affects the victim? There's a REASON why the age of consent is 18. What if the girl didn't say yes, but she didn't say no because she was too scared? The man takes that as a yes, because "OBVIOUSLY" not saying no means yes. But the girl didn't want it. Why would she? IT IS RAPE. And it's ILLEGAL. Why the **** would a 40 year old be interested in a 17 year old? Does that seem normal to you?! That man is a pedophile and deserves to be locked up. This affects the victim for the rest of her life, and he should be punished so that he can suffer just like she is suffering. And no, it is not a moral issue. There is nothing moral about this. It's illegal, and that's that.
