Statutory rape
These days, one of the problems with young women is that they often don't look like young women—they look like sexually mature, above-the-age-of-consent women. Chalk it up to the many chemicals in our environment that act as synthetic estrogens, or whatever. Regardless of its causation, it can create some nightmarish problems for men who think with their wrong head.
Jennifer was brought to the ER by her parents, a state social worker (I'd never actually seen one before), and an entourage of police officers. I guessed that I would soon be filling out a lot of paperwork. I was correct. Jennifer had been dating Harry, who was 31. Jennifer was, well, stunning. With a bod like that, she could have been a Miss America. Who'd have thought she was only 14?
Her parents were upset by this, but couldn't do much about it. They would ground her, but she would find a way to see him. One day, as Jennifer was staying with her grandparents, Harry stopped by. He took Jennifer on an unauthorized date, to an unauthorized motel, for some unauthorized fun. Now her parents had him. They immediately called the police, and whisked her to the ER.
Jennifer seemed as reticent as Monica Lewinsky, as she was reluctant to say anything that might incriminate her partner. Eventually, she said that Harry had engaged in “no improper sexual activity” with her. Gee-whiz, with lingo like that, I thought she was being coached by White House lawyers.
OK, he'd engaged in “no improper sexual activity” with her. But did he have sex with her? Turns out that he did. Fancy phrases are often contrived as a means of obscuring the truth.
