Under aged sexual relations?


Did I miss something? Isn't Cassie still in high school and presumably under 18?

Evan looked at least mid to late 20s. They make out and looks like they went all the way.

Why isn't anyone else disturbed about this?!?!?!?!?!

I agree with that statement in general, but I don't think it applies to this case. They weren't in love when they had sex.

Cassie is 16. And, yes, you apparently did miss something. She's no longer in high school. She's fighting an alien invasion with what small remnants are left of the human race.

Gasp! There have been studies. When groups or populations are put under stress, and their numbers dwindle - sex starts happening at an earlier age, and with more frequency.

God & the Hebrews say "adult at age 13" - don't be such a repressive moralist, 18 is the highest age for this in the world, b/c in the US everyone knows daddy's little girl is not a virgin when leaving high school, sex is biology & realistic, the only way to procreate, so blame the creator for making us adult faster than you like

What dimension do you live in?

Cheers! Here's to the sequel where she gets sandwiched by Evan and Ben.

Why should I be disturbed? Haven't you been listening to the President? Take your laws and shove'em.

Age of consent laws are meant to prevent older men from preying on young girls. In the U.S., the age is 18. If the male participant is less than three years older than the female, the age of consent can go as low as 13. So if she is 15 and he is 18 - no problem!
