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.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what's going on here.

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.

Why do you start every comment with an insult? Their question was reasonable and they didn't treat you the same. That really doesn't make you sound as smart as you think it does, especially when you're referencing yourself in your original comment, and the comment of your own that you referenced doesn't actually clarify anything, it's just another example of you insulting somebody and telling them that they're wrong.

Besides, age of consent laws differ in how they work based on what country you are in, and not everyone is from your country. You're expecting people to know shit they're not reasonably expected to know, and you're mad at them about it and being a child about it.

In the US, age of consent varies by state. In most US states the age of consent to sex with someone who is not in a position of authority is 16. Often with a close in age exception. 18 gets used in US media so much because that's what it is in CA and NY, and that's where most media is made.

18 is also federal age of consent, but that only applies when an incident involves crossing state lines.
