Them both being minors means that Romeo and Juliette exceptions come into force. The same thing that stops a 16 year old (above UK age of consent) being in trouble for being intimate with his week younger 15 year old (normally illegal) girlfriend. But 15 to 11 is a big gap...ravensheart18 said:I'm not quite sure why the mother isn't being charged with statutory rape, or is 11 & 15 actually legal in the UK?
Other than that, its a "so what" story.
Aren't hope and faith essentially the same thing?sravankb said:Ah, but I lost hope in humanity. Weren't expecting that, were ya?Daystar Clarion said:Just another incident of dumb kids doing dumb things.
Nothing new there.
Also, inb4 lost faith in humanity.
Seriously, though - this is sad. Let's hope someone responsible takes care of the child once it's born.
And let's also hope that this kid gets a few slaps on his face for being a little ****.

Our laws around underage sex have a bit of lee-way in them if they are both minors, it's only when one of them is 18 or older that criminal charges become compulsory.ravensheart18 said:I'm not quite sure why the mother isn't being charged with statutory rape, or is 11 & 15 actually legal in the UK?
