Dam sticky wwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

Ummm, that's just a lot illegal. Or is it literally "going out" only.

 

Problem is.. stepdad... me... hasn't got a say... think it's nonsexual
at mo.... if he does anything.... watch out!

Indeed. It's statutory rape. Regardless of whether it is consensual,
the guy goes to jail.

 

And if the parent of the child knowingly allows sexual activity to
occur, the parent will be up for criminal charges. In Queensland, at
least.

Nope. If you want full details, I have personal experience of the
legality of this quite recently. And a recent girlfriend of mine had a
her partner in jail for 3 months because she was a couple of months
short of being legal. Trust me, I KNOW the law on this one these days.
And no, I have not transgressed that law, but realise how damn close
you can go sometiumes. A girlfriend a couple of years ago I thought
was in her mid-20s when I first met her. Turns out she was 18. Legally
OK. Morally? I dunno. But she started it, she's a very persuasive
young lady who gets what she wants. She's 20 now and living in
Clemville. Intelligent, lovely girl who I still stay in contact with.
But a year earlier and if she had chosen not to mention her age, it
may have been me in jail. Her partner who ended up in clink DID know
her age but figured as it was only a couple months and he wasn't
hugely different in age (compared to me a year later) that it didn't
matter. It was consensual. Not only did he spend 3 months in jail, but
it ruined his career. She also spent quite a while tearing herself up
over what she did to him.

It's fucking complex.

So, no. I'm speaking from personal experience (and a hatred of TV,
especially American TV).

But keep 'em apart. It's not worth it. They'll grow up soon enough.

(And if you think that isn't enough, I ended up in a similar situation
earlier this year, this time I did know she was 19, but she was
equally persuasive. I'm not sure what this generation are up to
sometimes, but I'm also not stupid.)

 

Regardless of the terminology it's certainly illegal in all states
although IIRC the penalties differ from state to state, and the precise
details of what is and isn't illegal

Dog knows what the rules are in NZ though

I think you'll find he's being pedantic about the terminology - I don't
believe any of the Australian states use statutory rape - it used to be
carnal knowledge of a minor in NSW (when consensual obviously) the
name's been changed IIRC to standardise with Vic QLD etc about 5 years
ago IIRC

The rules do still differ state to state though (I think the NSW rule
about close age difference is unique to here)

JL

 

Isn't the age of consent in New Zealand eight?

 

Cue jokes related to sheep:human age equivalencies...

Mr H

 

2 for sheep.

 

Probably best if he does take any photographs either. ;-)

It does differe from state to state but it is either 16 or 17 (it's 17
here in Tasmania, despite the jokes about sisters). And yes, here is
an allowance made for proximity of age, but I am positive 19 to 14 is
illegal in all states.

 

Sorry, should have been "doesn't".....

that'll be the thought police pounding on my door, now.
