Yes, according to U.S. law, if an adult man has sexual relations with a 12-year-old girl, it’s a crime in every single state. It’s called “statutory rape” or “sexual abuse of a minor,” and it comes with jail time.
The age of consent varies by state, but it’s generally between 16 and 18. For a 12-year-old, the concept of consent doesn’t even apply because they’re legally incapable of giving it. Even if she seemed to “agree,” it wouldn’t matter legally because she hasn’t reached the age where she can make that decision.
So, if you had sexual relations with a 12-year-old and she came forward years later, yes, you would go to jail.
You’d be sitting in a cell, explaining your twisted pedophilic theology to your cellmates.
On one hand, it's humane, but on the other hand, Jesus insisted that it would be better to drown such offenders.
#1 - Please keep in mind that this discussion is NOT on RAPE or FORCED COERCION
Which is why it is so important for there to be
statue of limitations EXCEPT for murder and rape.
Even if she seemed to “agree,” it wouldn’t matter legally
It does matter legally because 'intent' plays a critical role in the Judges decision of the Penalty phase.
This is what i was sharing with you on GOD's POV
In the Judgement of all men/women/children, God will reveal and JUDGE the intent & motives of the heart = Jeremiah 107:9
The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even
to give every man according to his ways, = this includes children as well(let's say 12 years old and up)
According to the fruit of his doings.
Therefore, a 12 year old girl
who is sexually active on her own, will be judged by GOD
the SAME as the man no matter what his age.
Think on this scenario:
When i was 16
(unsaved) i had a girlfriend(Rebecca) who was 14.
Rebecca was already sexually active
before we began dating = she gave up her virginity to another prior to me.
Two years later i am 18 and Rebecca is 16 and we have been going 'Hot-n-Heavy' for two years now.
BIG PROBLEM with the 'law' today =
40 years LATER, Rebecca could come forward and say she "changed her mind" and that she 'did not know' what
we were doing was wrong!!!
i could go to jail as she skips down the road = PERVERSION of JUSTICE
This is the MAIN POINT of Deuteronomy 22:23-24
“If a young woman
who is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her,
then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and
you shall stone them to death with stones,
the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he humbled his neighbor’s wife; so you shall put away the evil from among you.
