Maybe he was more effective than we give him credit for?

If only he'd kept his dick out of little jane
See, that's the worst part about all of this. It isn't because of the sex, it's what he did to have it. Had he just gone to Georgia to have sex with a 17 year old girl who was already there, there would be no case.
Indeed, from what I understand, depending on the state in question, the illegal part was offering to pay for it.
In my home state we recently had a case, or rather didn't have, that made headlines. Some 37 year old hooked up with a 16 year old he met online.
Her dad demanded this guy get arrested after they fucked in his minivan. (Of course the almost 40 year old has a fucking van to do this kinda thing in)
Cop basically said "The age of consent around here is either 16 or 4 years younger than your current age, whichever is lower, so.. uhh.. arrest him for what exactly?"
Now he's lobbying to have the law changed. I doubt he'll get anywhere though.
They voted on the idea of raising it just 2 years ago, and decided not to. I will say that to be fair under state Law, the Law can no longer consider you a minor in court of law at 16, so... best not to shoplift after your sweet 16. So it's not like there isn't some consistency.
I'd imagine we'd probably have the drinking and smoking age at 16 too if not for Federal Laws insisting that they be 21.
Yeah there are more pedophiliacs than we know in government and civilian society.
