My anti-Weiner credentials are impeccable. I was against him as a fake of poor character when most of the Forum was still supporting him for office. Even a few days ago I was calling people out for supporting him.
At what age does it become acceptable to sext? If it's 1 day before the girl's or boy's 18th birthday, it's outrageous and the adult should be arrested by the FBI and thrown into jail, but if it's 1 day after it's just a nice romance?
This borders on bizarre talk don't you think? Sexting a 15 year old as a 40 some year old man is just outright sexual predation and an unnatural desire go communicate with people who are not recognized to have full commensurate power equal to the other party.
We have ages of consent for a reason. 18 is a reasonable age.
The age of consent is 16 in most states, so a year older & Weiner would be legally safe (doesn't mean what he did was right). A huge share of girls who are 15 go out & they do share risque pictures & type adult stuff, it is pretty common. And many of them date guys who are 17-18-19 as well.
While technically it is not legal for someone below the age of consent to indulge in these acts, it happens surprisingly a lot more people can imagine here. This is not to justify Weiner, it is horrible what he did & he has no business going after a 15 year old. I especially feel bad for his wife & child - Their lives were turned into hell & they didn't deserve to go through this!
Having said the hypocrisy - Trump brags about grabbing people by the pus*y & barges into the locker room of young girls while they dress & most of the conservatives are okay with all that & support Trump !
