So, oh wise one, what if a man who is 30 years of age but has a medical condition giving him the mind of a 12 year old had sex with this 14 year old girl?
Tell me Solomon, king of kings - what would this silly law obstacle try and throw at these 2 consenting children?
Logical fallacy - you guys hear such big words...It's almost endearing that you try and use them.

But, your question has nothing to do with my point, which is basically that teenagers like having sex and should not be punished for it.
Whilst I'm sure there are some teenagers who like having sex and should not be punished for it the majority will be taking risky and ill-informed decisions regarding what they are doing to themselves.
Education is the key to letting a young person enjoy themselves and as an adult we must appreciate that these young people don't have the same depth of experience as us old yins (And likewise we don't understand this new age that children are brought up in). and so must cover every aspect of potential for mistakes which may have an effect of generations to come.
I only came into this thread because it was all about an 'abusive cop' and I didn't agree with that sentiment.
Kids will be kids and will experiment with each other and learn for themselves. I don't deny nor discourage that. But condoning children to make informed decisions without them being educated as to the consequences of those decisions is ignorance in my eyes and bordering on illegal.

Are you suggesting that having sex is an "ill-informed decision." And what do you mean "what they are doing to themselves?" Sex is only harmful if you are Catholic...and male...and ten.
A high percentage of teenage pregnancies in the US.

Seems I know more than you about it then doesn't it.
Age of consent for sexual intercourse in California (Without parents permission that is) is 18 years of age.
Go and look up statutory rape and see for yourself how it can be interpreted.
I am confident had that cop wanted he could have charge him, or have a colleague charge him, with statutory rape and place him on the sex offenders register for life. Had it been my daughter, and as a regular civilian, I would have pursued this to the full extent of the law and made sure he understood the gravity of his actions.

Because I backtracked it.
They'll be reported to the cyberpolice.

A friend of mine intentionally was cleaning his guns when the young man came to pick up his daughter...and yes, he had to come in and pick her up like a gentleman. Of course, he was cleaning the double barrel 12 guage when he came in.... no problems there.
