Physically maybe, but this is a 14 year old child, pitted against an adult woman. As we all know, physical force may not have come in to it. There's other forms of duress. Sure, the child may have been the instigator, but the woman should have walked away...

hold on didnt the article say they did it twice ?

so they both knew what they were doing and im guessing the boy certainly knew what he was doing so therefor the women should be charged with having sex with an underage boy

and the boy should be punished too

Do you think a girl should be punished too if the situation was reversed?

i believe in equal fair punishment and IMO if both parties are aware of there actions then yes i would want the same thing to happen if it was a reversed situation

But it's not illegal for a 'minor' to have sex with and adult, only the other way around.

i dont know the ins and outs of the legal system but IMO its wrong to have sex with a minor and stern punishment should be given to the adult and youngster involved

If it had been the other way round... 33yr old male with 14yr old girl..somehow i think all your reactions would differ.

I say...throw her in jail....no bail...and assume her guilty!

Thats what happens with men, so lets be equal on this issue.

I don't honestly think she is totally to blame though.. come on.. offered sex on a plate so young? maybe you first time?

But what if the 14 year old had lied about his/her age - should the adult be punished then, if they believed the child to be old enough?

thats a grey area the child should be punished if that is found to be the case

Russ · 22-08-2003, 02:13

But what about the adult?

as i said a grey area im unsure about that but if it WAS the minor lieing about his/her age then i dont believe any action should be taken against the adult BUT it must be proven without a doubt that the minor was the one that had lied about his/her age

I suggest to all those of you who can't tell a 14 year old from a 16 year old that you start asking to see birth certificates and make sure you visit the intended date's home and meet his/her parents/family.

Incog. The older I get the more 20 year olds seem like 12 year olds to me.

there are a few problems with that first of all some relationships are not known to the parents as they would go 'off' on one

oh and secondly i dont think it would be wise to ask
the parents

the persons age and then ask for a birth certificate they will wonder whats going on and be all

Just a question... how many people here went into nightclubs under age by pretending to be older than they are?
How many girls do people see who dress older than they are and pass for old enough to club? (over 18 club)

As the picture of the 14 year old won't be shown for legal reasons, and there is no mention of how they met, it is possible this was one of those cases.

[EDIT] Oops, it DOES say how they met, my mistake, however this post remains valid, albeit not in this particular case. [/EDIT]

I remember a night in a club as one of many during my college years when someone's 18th birthday was announced, champagne was given, and a bouncer commented that the person concerned had been a regular in the club for 4 years.

People do lie about their ages. I am not saying the woman was not to blame at all, I am however saying that occasionally the lines can be blurred by people's actions.
