Yeah, if it's posted online, the law should be able to get it taken down, but prosecuting teens for this poo poo is dumb as hell.

Then again, I know a now 17 year old who has been on the sex offender registry since he was 12, since the law states that anyone under 13 automatically cannot consent, then obviously he raped his also 12 year old girlfriend when he knocked her up.

The laws on teenage sexuality are in one sense outdated, and in another necessary. Protecting minors from predators is necessary, but at the same time punishing teenagers for being sexual gets you nowhere.

And this is assuming there was no racial angle here, as there sometimes is with these cases.

Bingo! Guess what race the guy is. Now guess what race the girlfriend was.

So now this poor guy has a "sex with a child <13" charge following him around for life. These kids getting sex crimes as teenagers forever limits their employment and housing opportunities.
