that's quite something. Perhaps we should add statutory rape to the list of charges.

Anyway, what does that mean? Are you obliged to rape somone?

Having sex with someone under the age of thirteen is classed as rape, whether or not they are deemed to have 'consented'. It's defined in law, hence "statutory" rape.

Statutory rape is actually up to 16 (in the UK). You can still be deemed to have not consented, but the police/courts use more discretion.

I thought there was a different charge for that. But I'll take the word of someone with a law degree ;)
