Statutory_Rape

Statutory Rape What is happening to the relationships we once thought were all OK' What are these relationships that are so appalling, that it’s illegal' It is known as Statutory Rape. It is considered to be a relationship with a boy or girl that is under the age of 18, who are wrongfully having a sexual relationship with a boy or girl who is over the age of 18. But these “such age differences are of little public interest”(Darroch, Jacqueline 1) which can’t really assist to the laws that have already been written and stated. One of the original laws were “designed to protect adolescent girls from sex under any circumstances, regardless of whether, there was consent.”(Westphal, Sylvia 4) Also another law was “a group of steps taken that make punishments harsh, including first, second, and third.”(Westphal, Sylvia 4) The reason that the nation is trying to be more tough on this issue is because many minors do not know what they are getting themselves into, with no responsibility, and even acknowledgment of what could happen next, and this next problem would either be an unwanted pregnancy or a life threatening disease.
