Reply #35: So, now it's consensual "sexual molestation"?

Fascinating. :eyes:

I find it also fascinating that the article contains the word "consensual" despite legal standards regarding "age of consent." Perhaps the journalist thought they were in Mexico where the legal age of (male/female) consent is 12. (It's probably noteworthy that children are regarded as more responsible in Mexico than in the U.S.) Obviously, Alabama is far more enlightened that the heavily-Catholic Mexico. In Alabama, the age of consent is 16 for male/female intercourse. (There is no age of consent for male/male or female/female sexual relations in Alabama, since both are illegal under Alabama law. In Mexico, it's 18. Obviously Mexico is far more backward than Alabama.)
