Well, like I said, I don’t really want to get into the legality of the issue, because there’s no end-all answer. But, honestly, it’s a lose/lose situation for the overage person and is probably never going to be solved. They’re screwed in most outcomes since, to a majority of the population, no one perceives the overage party to ever be innocent, which they most certainly can be in some situations. But, is it really the underage party’s fault? There are plenty of instances when an underage person knows they can get the overage party in trouble, but I think what matters is whether they’re using that knowledge maliciously. Regardless, like you said, the authorities/parents can take matters into their own hands, but that’s how things are when the law is black and white, which, to me, is unfortunate.
