Forgive my persistence! The plus sign doesn't print anymore: I meant "a woman of 21 or over". Nobody should take my position as advocating liasons between adults and older minors. I merely feel that penalties should reflect the degree of "victimhood". Baby Boomers were more sophisticated then our parents, in these matters, at similar ages. Likewise, today's teens are more sophisticated than we were. Therefore,I think it to be a crying shame that an adult should suffer severe penalties, when getting involved with, say, a 17-year old, in states where the age of consent is 18. Prosecuting near age lovers, as I have often said, is a travesty to justice, common decency and logic!

With all the news about women who get involved with older, minor males, I believe this is the best approach to take. See if the older minor was really a "victim". Nearly all boys 16 and up would not be victimized by a consensual relationship with a woman of 21 . Seventeen is the age of consent in New York. I suggest the following. Anybody (man or woman) who gets involved with a person under the age of consent should be subject to arrest. Then, if an older minor (girl or boy) shows no ill effect from the encounter, penalties should be minute, like the $350 fine, and no imprisonment imposed on a woman teacher from New Jersey, a few years ago. Of course, no arrests at all should be made of same, or near age lovers, on either side of 18.

I wonder will the rest of the Newspapers offices be raided, after all, there must be more than one pervert in the Media - or will they cover it up too?
