I don't know it might depend on the crowd you hang out with. I remember when I was a freshman or sophomore in high school you always wanted to bone a grade up and dismissed the people in the grade lower than you. Then as we became seniors in high school we didn't really care if the girl was a freshman in high school or a freshman in college.
well I present this....

For more information on the psychiatric side, including how psychiatry groups phobias such as agoraphobia, social phobia, or simple phobia, see phobia. The following lists include words ending in -phobia, and include fears that have acquired names. In some cases, the naming of phobias has become a word game, of notable example being a 1998 humorous article published by BBC News.[1] In some cases a word ending in -phobia may have an antonym with the suffix -phil-, e.g. Germanophobe / [Germanophile].
A large number of -phobia lists circulate on the Internet, with words collected from indiscriminate sources, often copying each other. Also, a number of psychiatric websites exist that at the first glance cover a huge number of phobias, but in fact use a standard text to fit any phobia and reuse it for all unusual phobias by merely changing the name. Sometimes it leads to bizarre results, such as suggestions to cure "prostitute phobia".[2] Such practice is known as content spamming and is used to attract search engines.[original research?]

- Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia – fear of long words.[11] Hippopoto – "big" due to its allusion to the Greek-derived word hippopotamus (though this is derived as hippo- "horse" compounded with potam-os "river", so originally meaning "river horse"; according to the Oxford English, "hippopotamine" has been construed as large since 1847, so this coinage is reasonable); -monstr- is from Latin words meaning "monstrous", -o- is a noun-compounding vowel; -sesquipedali- comes from "sesquipedalian" meaning a long word (literally "a foot and a half long" in Latin), -o- is a noun-compounding vowel, and -phobia means "fear". Note: This was mentioned on the first episode of Brainiac Series Five as one of Tickle's Teasers.
- Keanuphobia – fear of Keanu Reeves, portrayed in the Dean Koontz book, False Memory, where a woman has an irrational fear of Keanu Reeves and has to see her psychiatrist, Mark Ahriman, each week, unaware that she only has the fear in the first place because the psychotic Ahriman implanted it via hypnotic suggestion to amuse himself. He calls her the "Keanuphobe" in his head.
- Luposlipaphobia – fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor, also from Gary Larson's The Far Side.
- Monkeyphobia – fear of monkeys, as named by Lord Monkey Fist in the animated series Kim Possible. Due to spending a summer in a cabin with a crazy chimp mascot, Ron Stoppable has a fear of monkeys, which he gets over several times, usually during battles with Monkey Fist, who is essentially Ron's arch-nemesis.
- Nihilophobia – fear of nothingness (comes from the combination of the Latin word nihil which means nothing, none, and the suffix -phobia), as described by the Doctor in the Star Trek: Voyager episode Night. Voyager's morale officer and chef Neelix suffers from this condition, having panic attacks while the ship was traversing a dark expanse of space known as the Void.

Also, the animated version of George of the Jungle (2007 TV series) is seen suffering in one episode of the cartoon, where they are telling scary stories.

I agree, plenty of shitty parents out there who have no business having kids. Unfortunately stuff like that doesn't matter when it comes to stuff like this. A person that age should know the difference between right and wrong however. I know, since when does a person that age give a crap. It happens all the time, but when you get caught you're basically screwed because there's no defense for it.
The punishment in these type of situations does not fit the crime. It is almost like the teenager isn't the victim the parent is the victim. I have yet to see any kind of case study where a teenage boy or girl that has sex with somebody slightly older than 18 years of age and it caused them any kind of mental anguish at that time or later in life. Althouh I have never attended a rape victim anonymous class I find it heard to believe that somebody actually stand up and says hi my name is Amber and I had sex with a 19 year old man when I was 15 years old and I still lose sleep over the trauma. If that happened I imagined the real rape victims attacking this person in a similar fashion to the scene in that movie Half Baked were Dave Chappelle goes to Narcotics Anonymous and says he is addicted to weed.
Regrettably, you're the only one in this entire thread discussion who understands the concept of statutory rape.
I posted the actual Oklahoma Penal Code §21-1111. No one but you seems to have read it.
Everyone else is focusing on the wrong things.
Whether 15 year old female gave consent or lied about her age is immaterial. Whether the 19 year old nephew believed or relied on her word she was of age is immaterial.
She was 15 years old and under the age of consent (16) in Oklahoma. That is all that matters. He was 19 years old at the time of the intercourse. Everything else is immaterial.
If the 19 year old nephew admitted to the police detectives he slept with her, and this is corroborated by the 15 year old girl's admission .... the nephew is literally screwed IMO.
I knew someone that was in the same boat. He ended taking a plea, avoided the 5 year sentence got no jail time, but had to register as a sex offender and do community service. You'd be surprised how many of those red dots are 18 year olds that had consensual sex with 17 year olds or something close to that.
It never has made much sense IMO. I'm not sure why some of these low level ones have to register.
I just noticed one of the charities I give to RAINN (Rape and Incest National Network) doesn't even acknowledge statutory rape victims. I can't imagine too many grief counselors that take calls at 2:00am from a statutory rape victim. Just the simple fact that when a teenage girl admits to having sex with a 19 or 20 year old dude she gets put on restriction. Now why would you have to discipline a supposed "rape" victim?
I'd start with denying it. I'd say I was completely confused and didnt understand the questions. If he answered them without a lawyer they may be inadmissible - especially if not given the option to call a lawyer etc. Id get a good lawyer and run this by him.
Second I'd say I did check her ID - she must have had a fake one. Would be really good if she agreed to this.
Third, I'd try to plea to something lower.
I'd find the best lawyer I could afford with experience in these cases.

Every sex offender web site I've been to lists the offense when you click on the red dot. One could see the difference between "statutory rape" and "forced rape of a child under the age of 10".
On a related note, I've seen where some offenders are required to be on the list but are removed after a certain period if they meet all criteria. I think these may be offenders that are still minors and for the lesser sex crimes.
One might argue that any age say 16, 17, 18 is kind of meaningless. If the the Nephew were 16 and Fuccked the 15 it's Fine, but since he's 19 he needs to go to prison ?
One could also argue that since a young girl's things start working at like 14-15 ( or earlier), maybe that is the age of consent ? I would never think about doing a teen girl....unless I was also a teen.
A 19 year old should be be looking for an older chick ( to be cool), not younger.
It is somewhat inappropriate for the 19 year old man to bang the 15 year old girl....but we'd need to see all the facts.
