Im reasonable.
You arent.
You follow a rigid interpretation of the law whether its reasonable or not.
If he is seeking underage girls out online...he has issues. If this is just two young humans smitten for each other and they came in contact with each other in an organic way...its a nothing burger. Scold the kid...tell him the optics are bad plus there are laws.
Dont ruin the kids life over falling for temptation unless he is doing something shady.
Very reasonable. We can agree to disagree.
What do you not understand about statutory???? There is NO interpretation.
I'm not saying you aren't reasonable; there is no reasoning here. You are trying to give context and justify something that is judged void of context and justification. What you are saying is fundamentally wrong. Period.
Let's say he was 19 and she was 15. That's statutory rape, regardless of the circumstances. The only thing we have to wait for to make the story valid or not is if he was >=18 and she was <16. Period.
