Former Congressman Matt Gaetz being investigated for having sex with a 17 year old.

I'm assuming this is beneath the age of consent where he did it so I'll work on that premise:
There are 2 ways to decide an age of consent, on a case by case basis or by having a specific age. The first is much too awkward to implement so the second is used. I know that makes for the argument that one day it's illegal and the following it's not but it's the only way to quickly and fairly implement a law on consent.
If she had not reached the age of consent and they had sex he committed a crime and should be tried as such.

What I posted was simply a conversation starter to get members opinions about recent news events, nothing more.

He was cleared

So what should the age of consent be?

TBH, I'm not super concerned with Gaetz having sex with a 17 year old. Now Trump raping children on Epstein's island, that's way worse.

Girls under 18 cannot form consent.

Funny: regular family is so important for them that they go fxxking around… 🙄

No, your just a fan of underaged girls.

And they're certain not begging for it from old men.

Plus, whom said his underage kink was to just girls?

true true. I think he has only committed a crime against hair gel, but actually, the same people who say don't build walls are the ones who are suddenly all law and order
