    Because laws historically have always been just, and never improved or corrected… Especially laws regarding sexual assault.

    I understand that it is different, but really what I’m trying to say is that it I really think it shouldn’t be.

    The “severity” should only be described by the victim.

    The only thing that should matter, is the intention of the offender. I understand that mistakes happen in the heat of the moment, especially when you’re around that age of ~18.

    But we’re talking about Sex traffic’ed minor abuse.

    So yeah, it’s still rape.

      Oof

      So if you’re staring into the distance, and someone happens to think you’re staring at them, and they feel violated, and they claim you sexually assaulted them, which under your definition is the same as rape…that’s okay? You’re alright going to prison for 4 years and registering as a sex offender?

      Objective definitions matter. A LOT. They’re the bedrock of our entire legal system.
