You're thinking logically, it really is the rest of the world that's crazy in this case. Two teens, in a relationship, who can legally have sex with each other (and likely have) what is the fuss about?


Actually, it's mostly the USA, where age of consent is 18 in many states and at the federal level. In the rest of the world, teens can legally fuck :)


Hmm, the federal law might actually apply in this case as it's a text that presumably crosses state lines. However, I grew up in a state where I could legally have sex at 16; even then there were romeo and juliet laws that would allow sex with an older individual if they are close in age. It's a little crazy to find that you can have sex but not over the phone.
