Hypothetical scenario...you are a chick, I ask you how old you are and you text me/Email me you are 19, maybe even show me a fake ID.
How the f*** am I supposed to know you are 17?
He would have to be able to prove somehow she presented evidence to him she was over 18. Like a photocopy of an ID. No lie.
That even happened in NH a few years back.These statutory laws regarding sex and someone who is underage do not allow for such a defense. They are literally written such that if the act occurred you are guilty. Doesn't matter if you were deceived or defrauded.

And yes, that is bullshit. These statutes should not be written that way. But they are and that is exceedingly unlikely to change.
Where does it say it's not allowed? Only problem I see is it's not tested well. I bet hard proof of fraud would at least hang a jury,, unless you're arguing that the judge can suppress this evidence. If course this never gets tested because of the obvious preselection bias problem; eg the guys asking for proof are likely not of the sort that's going to get into trouble to begin with....

You should be more concerned that the US will revoke your passport because you've embarrassed the government.
And what actual hard evidence does the state have that actual intercourse or some other sexual activity happened? DNA from semen sample collected? Or is it just her word against his?
Also, what happens if I'm 18 but I legally married a 13 year old with parental consent and a judges approval if I get caught with naked pics of my legal wife? Am I still going to jail for child porn for having pics of my own wife?

I want to see actual DNA evidence that sex occurred. Not just some random whore's word that they had sex.

Gun Activist Cody Wilson Released From Texas Jail After Posting Bond For Sex Assault of a Minor
can't hide anywhere anymore:
Wilson reportedly fled to Taiwan earlier this month after getting tipped off about the charges, and was arrested there on Friday after trying to rent an apartment. The apartment owner recognized Wilson from the recent TV coverage in Taiwan and notified the police
In NH it doesn't. However the NH Supreme court has said a teen lying about their age is not allowed as a defense because the legislature has not explicitly allowed it. Per the opinion (decided in 2007) a majority of states did not allow such a defense to statutory rape charges.

That isn't how laws work.
Yeah I know. That's how our "Justice" system works. It's just that a 5th grader in the special class knows that's stupid.
How could Cody have been so stupid?
Yes it is stupid. But that is the "justice" system we live under. So accept it, and if you get the opportunity, work with some legislators to try and change those small aspects of it to be better.
While it's not what he's currently charged with, this code can be easily tacked on as well:Where does it say it's not allowed?

While it's not what he's currently charged with, this code can be easily tacked on as well:
Sec. 43.02. PROSTITUTION.
(a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly offers or agrees to receive a fee from another to engage in sexual conduct.
( . . . )
(c) An offense under Subsection (a) is a Class B misdemeanor, except that the offense is:
(1) a Class A misdemeanor if the actor has previously been convicted one or two times of an offense under Subsection (a); or
(2) a state jail felony if the actor has previously been convicted three or more times of an offense under Subsection (a).
(c-1) An offense under Subsection (b) is a Class B misdemeanor, except that the offense is:
(1) a Class A misdemeanor if the actor has previously been convicted one or two times of an offense under Subsection (b);
(2) a state jail felony if the actor has previously been convicted three or more times of an offense under Subsection (b); or
(3) a felony of the second degree if the person with whom the actor agrees to engage in sexual conduct is:
(A) younger than 18 years of age, regardless of whether the actor knows the age of the person at the time of the offense;
(B) represented to the actor as being younger than 18 years of age; or
(C) believed by the actor to be younger than 18 years of age.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The owner of a Texas company that sells blueprints for making untraceable 3-D printed guns has resigned from the firm after being arrested on charges of having sex with an underage girl.
An official with Austin-based Defense Distributed said Tuesday that Cody Wilson officially resigned Friday evening to tend to "personal matters."
Paloma Heindorff is the director of development for the company. She made the announcement and says she'll be taking Wilson's place. She also says she's "a different person. I'm not trying to replace him as a character."
I don't care HOW any future lawsuits come out.
Paloma is NOT GUILTY!
