Well, other than the occasional pregnancy. :P
It does bring up the question: did anyone ever get prosecuted for underage sex based on a pregnancy? I mean, there isn't much better evidence of said sex...
- pyre 17y agoEven in cases where the law states that it's illegal for a 18yo to have sex with a 17yo, it's still up to the prosecutor to be sane about it. That doesn't always happen. When the girl is pregnant, she still has to give up the father for them to know who to prosecute (traditionally the boy is prosecuted in these cases; sometimes they go for the girl if she is the older one, but if she is pregnant they may view her as the 'victim'). I guess she may give that information up when declaring who the father is to the hospital though, so I don't know. Maybe it just depends on how vindictive the parents are.
