So she was 17 in a state where the age of consent is 18. So jail resulted. Good. That seems to be perfectly normal for that state. She was underage. Now: to get back to the base of the discussion. The legal age IS NOT 18 in all states. It's below that in at roughly half of them. Therefore you wrote BS saying Here in the U.S. 18 is legal, below that is jail bate.Originally Posted by allalone46
