Hi! I like to watch a show called 'To Catch a Predator' in which they catch potential people that might have sex with a person who is younger than the age of consent. It is fun and one of my favorite shows on TV. I am mostly on the predators side because my political opinion is an age of consent on 13 years old. When it is 12 years old, then I am on the police side, mostly.
However, I must ask a question. What are the normal punishments for these people? I know that it is different in different states but is it possible to sit in jail for years for contacting a 15-year old? I am pretty interested in this.
Another (this time political) question I have is this: What is the moral philosophy you should use when seting an age of consent? In Spain, it is 13 and it seems to work there. Therefore, I'm pro-13. I want it as liberal as possible. Spain is a normal western world country and I trust Spain on that issue. What do you think?
Now I found this so my first question is pretty uneccesary to answer, I think.
