In Port Charlotte County, Florida, a 17 year old boy had intercourse with a 11 year old girl in a local church restroom. The mother had been looking for the girl, and when she finally found her following the act, the girl admitted to having consensual sex with the boy.
What's interesting here is that even though they are both minors and it was consensual, and no known damage had been done to the girl, the boy is being held in for sexual assault at the Department of Juvenile Justice at Fort Myers.
This is a very controversial issue, especially considering the growing movement on the Internet to change age of consent laws, and a push for parents to be more involved in their children's lives instead of relying on government agencies to PROTECT their children.
Do you think that the boy was rightfully charged with sexual assault? Did the girl only engage in these acts because of parental neglect/etc? Let me know in your comments below!
