    16 is the Age of Consent in most places, that doesn’t make it right, but I can only guess the district thought “Well if it’s legal…” without thinking if it was appropiate.

    It definitely wasn’t and it endangered the other students

      That’s not how age of consent works you uninformed denizen softening the ground for pedos.

      Educate first, then loud blab on the internet.

        Your reference is your own comment? Shouldn’t somewhere down the chain there be a link explaining this? It would be nice for you to be right, but I don’t think you are.

        If it were only about activities with other shouldn’t be of age people, then it makes no sense. Either they are allowed and it’s legal or it’s illegal for both of them but neither can be considered criminally responsible because neither can legally consent either.

        There are stories constantly about someone older having relations with someone way too young but the jurisdiction has age of consent to make it ok.

          My god, this place is overrun by petulant children who can’t do their own research and are criminally unaware of the laws surrounding this.

          You want a link, here’s a link

          also this

          TLDR; it is immensely complex, varies country by country, but as a general rule of thumb, having sex with a minor whilst you yourself not being a minor will almost everywhere land you in trouble. As it should. ^applies to regular joe without powerful friends in powerful places only.^

          Topic highly unsuited for one line response mediums like this new reddit.
