“Texas enacted a law making sexual contact with a 16 OR 17 year old OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE a first degree felony.”
For goodness sakes, griefer, dude, I was hoping my previous comment — and all the news coverage of this point — would be enough to make you do someo research and educate yourself. You seem to care about this issue and it would have only taken you a couple minutes like googling:
age of consent texas
But no. You just repeated the exact same thing, with capitals to boot, without taking the interim step to fact check.
So hey, I’ll do the same thing and reiterate it in caps because I’ve read the actual statute and double checked other sources and, quite frankly, I can’t be bothered to do it again after doing it so many times.
THE AGE OF CONSENT FOR SEX IN TEXAS IS 17. THE AGE OF MARRIAGE WITH A PARENT OR COURT’S PERMISSION IS 16, AND 18 WITHOUT PARENTAL OR COURT PERMISSION.
Wow. That was easy. And if you doubt me… google:
age of consent texas
