Do you guys think a 17 year should be jailed for unknowingly screwing a 13 year old.When they were 3 and a half years apart
Absolutely. I've got no idea how a 17yo gets into a position where he's having sex with a child. You say "unknowingly", if young men want to keep themselves safe they need to take a million times more care about the situations that they get themselves into than they currently do. For centuries women have had to worry about their "reputation" and they're victim blamed when a man "takes advantage". Things are starting to even out and men now have to worry about their "reputation" and accept some of the blame when things go wrong. The way you know a girl's age is by knowing her, know her classmates, what year of school she's in, meet her parents etc. If that all sounds too hard then maybe you shouldn't be screwing her.
At 17 I was a young mature adult with a fair amount of life experience. At 13 I was somewhat naive and perhaps vulnerable. The 17 year old doubtless saw the 13 year old as easy prey. In life we reap what we sow, the 17 year old young man will doubtless learn a valuable life lesson.
Here in FL they have an absolutely insane Romeo / Juliet law. I am disgusted to even mention it here. Many young lives have been ruined because of that creepy law. So many perpetrators are walking out there unpunished. https://www.google.com/search?q=rom...j0i22i30l3.14447j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
In NZ the age limit is 16 I'd be a lot more sympathetic about 2 15yo having sex than I would a 17yo with a 13yo so long as they were in a relationship. Add in the element of "I didn't know the first thing about the girl but she was up for it" to a 4 year age gap and it's just nasty. I bet he didn't have any interest in her beyond a quick shag and wouldn't have remembered her if he hadn't got into trouble (assuming this isn't a rhetorical question in the OP's post) but she'd remember the older, predatory boy.
Dunno about jailed, jail is a pretty rough place for a 17 year old. But he for sure deserves a wakeup call, can't go through life getting away with shit like that
Countless young girls are scarred for the rest of their lives by viral diseases or pregnancies because of 17 y.o. punks. And the authorities do nothing about it. Something is terribly wrong with this picture imo.
