Why make it higher when generally speaking teenagers are maturing earlier and have sex at an earlier age than a few decades ago?

yeah my niece got her period at 8 and that seems to happen more and more these days so it's not even only mental maturity

The Kobe case has nothing to do with voluntary romances.

Stop trying to claim selective prosecution.

You don't know anything about their relationships, but one thing you do know, neither Anna nor Kim claimed anyone raped them.

Ladies Of The Court has a chapter about sex on the tour involving older coaches and young tennis players, including players who were raped. Here is a bit from the book
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A South American told me "My father handed me over to a man and sent me out on the circuit when I was sixteen. He told me to do whatever the coach said. So when he said we were staying in the same hotel room, then when he moved over to my bed, I didn't know how to say no"

An Eastern European, a tour veteran ranked in the top twenty, told me, "My coach has always been my lover" She didn't mean that she had always had the same coach - just that whoever coached her became her lover. It was a pattern that had started when she left home as a teenager with her Federation coach who controlled her fate. To lose his approval meant losing her place on the national team, losing her passport, her chance to travel to the West, win foreign currency, and help her family. When he demanded sex, how could she refuse?

I interviewed a coach from her country whose attitude suggested what she and the other girls had faced as teenagers. He said of a top-ten player he had trained, "She used to be a great lay. This was back when she was fifteen or sixteen. Then she went off on her own and turned into a lesbian.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This book was written in 1991. I think the Eastern European top twenty veteran could be Manuela Maleeva who is from Bulgaria, she married her coach and became Swiss. The coach from her country could be Eric Van Harpen who is Swiss, and he trained Conchita who was a top ten player in 1991 and is a lesbian. Maybe I am wrong, but the book shows how common it is for older coaches to sleep with younger girls.

I doubt it's a maleeva since her mother was captain of the bulgaria team right? I doubt a mother would allow something like that

Yeah I thought that too but I was trying to connect the dots between a player marrying a coach, Eastern European, and a coach from her country who used to coach a top ten player who was a lesbian. I couldn't think of anyone else from 1991 that it could be, but you might remember someone Irma

 

[Hurley]

It is not 18 all over the United States. In fact, the age of consent in most states is 16 or 17.

 

[Venus Forever]

It's 17 here.

Kobe has been accused of sexual assault, not rape.

I don't know but it doesn't have to be a player who married her coach.
it could also have been sukova or nav

the second case seems to be conchita for sure

Griff - I did not compare Koke's case with statuory rape incidents.

Also, even if a minor consents, the charge is still statuory rape. It is age and not consent which is important with this type of possible charge.

Martina1 - Are you a child?
A 28 year old man spent the night with a 16 year old Kournikova.Did they play Monopoly all night?
Also, Anna, said that she had sexual relations with men while under age 18.

I read somewhere a couple of years ago that said Anna was still a virgin, and that was during the time when she was with Fedorov.

lol, my friends need to be locked up. One of my friends is 21 and his girlfriend is 17 and yes they have sex

I should call the police right now How can he do this to his own girlfriend

 

[irma]

you had such a story in the bold and the beautiful once :lol:

 

[TeeRexx]

calestia - You are an accessory before and after the fact.
Phone the cops now or you could be charged with obstruction of justice.

So many laws to keep people from doing the nasty, eh? LOL

 

[alexusjonesfan]

It gets worse TeeRexx...I was the one who set them up on their first date
The police are gonna think I masterminded this whole rape (actually series of rapes)
nobody say a word

 

[TeeRexx]

cales - Now I can add to your charges:

1. Pimping
2. Pandering
3. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor

Next you will tell me that you have filmed their encounters and have a pay per view web site.

You are going down babe.

 

[decemberlove]

age of consent

kids are going to do what they want to do.

and while kids may be maturing fast physically, that doesnt mean they are maturing fast emotionally. if anything, it seems to be the opposite right now. college now is to what high school was 30 years ago. some college kids act like theyre ten.

its 16 for both sexes in NJ. imo, its poor taste to have a different ages for gender/sexual orientation.

*runs to basement to burn late night sex tapes and other evidence*

damn, good thing I'm not getting any right now...they'd think I'm running some sort of ho-cartel or something :lol:

what's your flava?

Because not all 14 years old are so grown up like others. A few of them are still very naive in love-things. And to protect this kids (and they are still kids in my opinion), it needs laws.
In Germany you reach the legal age with 18.
