They didn't say how old the 'minors' were, 16? 17? that would be legal in the UK.
Hardly a rapist if she consented, just strange US laws that someone cannot consent until 18. I wonder why European people aged under 18 are able to consent but US fragile snowflake young people can't? Most kids are sexually active at 14 or so here, statutory rape is not rape in the sense I recognise, although to avoid pathetic comments about my post here I'll confirm I won't go younger than early twenties these days.

Reading some of these posts actually made me cringe.
You all realize you can over sexualize things right?
Like the gay pride festival/orgy.
Your bigotry is the only thing making me cringe. With comments like that you can keep your high brow morality to yourself.
The people in this thread including myself are responding to an actual problem in this country/world.
Too many people going to jail and having permanent records for what amounted to no harm done to anyone, because people like you want to push your morality on the rest of us.
No one said 12 but you. Stop the exaggeration.

Juries in the UK are not influenced by thoughts of previous convictions though, you cannot deny there is a difference between our nations, although you are from Canada so isn't it the same for you as the UK?
EDIT
On-topic, it seems the 20 year old and 17 year old consenting would not have been a crime in Canada, same as the UK.
Heck, you could legally shag 14 year olds in Canada until ten years ago, don't be giving all the moral highground about the UK. We've been age 16 all my life.
Quick search and it's been 16 since 1885 in the UK. How backward does Canada seem now?

Because of my thoughts of how sillly 18 is for age of consent.
The guys in the OP were apparently 17 and 20 at the time. That would be totally legal in the UK.
US law is a laughing stock and I think the conviction was political because he was Antifa.
Understand why I posted it now?

You don't have states in Canada, I was talking about your nation where you could shag 14 year olds up until a decade ago. Totally off-topic ish but in response to you criticising Britain for not letting jurors know previous convictions of the defendent...same in your country, Canada...isn't it.

You edited, coward.
I'll share any of my thoughts anywhere within terms and conditions of ATS. Acting like you are a mod is lame as #.

Yes, I was talking about the United States. Hence the use of the words “states”.
I am well aware that Canada is backwards, politically correct and multiculti, but only because we follow in the traditions of the UK.

Lol, you are more subjects than we are, no pictures of the queen in local government buildings.
...and Canada shagged 14 year olds legally until a decade ago. Shameful, yet you sit on your high horse as you always do.

If you want to shag 14 year olds, go for it. But we have consent laws for a reason.

Why would you think I want to shag 14 year olds? I'm criticising your nation (Canada) for allowing the shagging of 14 year olds until only a decade ago.
I'm criticising in response to you criticising the UK on your high horse.
