The thing that makes this event disgusting, and sexual relations with minors and adults is that there is an inherent power difference between the adult and minor.
A minor usually is still living with their parents in high school and not able to have learned wordly stuff from independence, whereas the adult usually has a significant amount of independence and thus have more wordly experience.
The adult in adult-minor relationships have an attraction in that power difference, and that is an unhealthy for the minor.
you guys are siccing the shit out of it like oh no if the genders were flipped this would be outrage well the fuckin genders aren't flipped so lets look at the situation at hand

If they were flipped that [b]would[/b] be awful, its one thing for a woman to be horny and want to share, but another for some big hairy jack-off to violate a delicate little flower

dude the point is that an adult is still taking advantage of a child, gender position doesn't matter.

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;36503670]My god has Facepunch never heard of statutory rape?
It's illegal even if the minor consents.[/QUOTE]
Just because something is illegal doesn't always mean it's immoral or wrong.
If I was him, at that age, I'd be all for having sex, no matter what the consequences were (because I'd be horny and possibly thinking that that was the only chance I'd ever have sex), and I'd be pretty pissed at my mom for that. But, if I was his parent, I'd be just as mad as his mom. You can't just trust your child, even a teenager, to get frisky with some random person without there being any type of consequence. For all we know, if he did have his way with her, he could've gotten her pregnant. No 15 year old is mentally developed enough to deal with having a child, let alone bringing another human life into this world and caring for it.
Dammit mom!

Jesus christ, whenever this topic comes up you get super defensive about it for who knows what reason. In my experience the people who are the most outspoken about something are either in denial or are just trying to cover it up. It's that, or you have some personal issues about it. I mean I understand if the kid was under 13 or something but he was only five years younger in this case. Are you telling me that if he was the legal age for consent which I believe is 18 in the US, and she was 23 it would be ok?

Or maybe they just hate it. I'm going to think its more likely that Sanius hates child abuse then Sanius is a closet paedophile.

If this happened in a country where the age of consent is 15, there'd be no story at all. The mother would just be interfering in her son's life, and the woman would, at worst, be arrested for trying to have sex in public.
Man that boy was gon' get some proper loving if the mother didn't appear like a wild pokemon.
This could've been an amazing porno
[QUOTE=zakedodead;36501824]Because at 15 he sure didn't know anything and had no ability to consent rite?[/QUOTE]
Not sure how it is in the USA, but in Canada you cannot give consent if you're under the age of 16.

I think what he meant was that he had the ability to consent on his own terms. You are correct though, in saying that he legally cannot consent.
Not really related to the news story directly, but it should probably be kept in mind: In most states (26/50 unless I suck at counting) age of consent is 16, and in Nevada (where I live, I haven't done any research on this particular law in other states) people under the age of consent can still consent to sexual acts with people that are within 2 years age range, ex. 14 year olds with 12-16 year olds. While neither of these mean it would have been [I]legal[/I] for him to consent, but people who think teenagers aren't/shouldn't be able to consent should probably take that in consideration.
It would have been legal here. Poor kid.
It was a fifteen year old boy. He probably fell in love the moment she looked at him. Are we seriously questioning consent here?
[QUOTE=Chrille;36511089]It would have been legal here. Poor kid.[/QUOTE]
Irrelevant, it is illegal where the situation took place, and the woman was fully aware of that.
I live In Oklahoma, this sure is funny :v:

Except for the fact that she actually invited him in and he said yes

I would have said yes as well.
[QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;36511323]Except for the fact that she actually invited him in and he said yes[/QUOTE]
The issue isn't the woman having sex with the boy without his consent, it's about having sex with a minor.
I don't blame the mother, she was probably more upset with her own kid though rather than the 20 year old woman.
Still, the kid did give her his consent man. I guess that's why it isn't a legal case right now, just a weird story.

I agree with you but funny story.
Freshman year, this girl I knew got pregnant. We were probably 14-15.
Gave birth early sophomore year.
Now she's 18, she's the most mature person I know. Having a child really changed her life. She went from a smoking, drinking, pot, girl who slept around to having a super strong connection with her family, friends, mature relationships with another man (No sex until marriage for obvious reasons, plus she's a Christian now) is always doing something productive, took her GED this spring and started college classes and got a job after a year of looking over this summer.

You do know facepunch main demographic are 15-24 years old people?

Do you think a 24-year-old thinks a 15-year-old is fully mentally developed
You'd pretty much either have to be a 15-year-old or never have met one in order to believe that

I'm 17, and even if i do not talk with many 15 year olds in real life, I know some in facepunch and they are pretty smart. In my opinion , some 15 year old's are as smart and mentally developed as people who are 17-18 year old.
