Isn't she a little young?
Sex with a minor. Don't go there.
An adult who has sex with a minor
is breaking the law. The law is
there to protect younger teens from
unhealthy relationships and its
consequences. Consent is not the
issue. According to Virginia's laws,
a minor cannot consent to a sexual
relationship with an adult.
