In reply to the discussion: A story of statutory rape... [View all]Mnemosyne
(21,363 posts)29. In PA it is 14, I know from experience. The 4 guys had this girl so terrified she refused to file
charges. There was a horrible bruise on her chest of an entire hand print. The monsters were 16, 19 and 21 yo twins. It was basically a rape gang, many girls age 14 and up, over a long period.
One of the monsters even called the police the day after and tried to convince them that this girl was going to come in and lie about the brutal attack. The cops never did find any girl that wasn't too terrified to file charges and testify. This happened in 1993, the aoc may have changed since, not sure.
She was finally sent to her grandparents 900 miles away, to protect her, and her mother moved there shortly after.
