Imagine this: you're 16, your girlfriend's 14, and you have consensual sex. Her mother doesn't think you should, so she presses charges for statutory rape, since the age of consent in where you live is 15.
You take a plea bargain. You serve time in jail. You are now required to register as a sex offender, which means a whole host of things, including that you're not allowed to come within a certain distance of a school.
You still live with your mom. She moves the family to a house with more room and closer to your siblings' elementary school.
Now you're in violation and are facing new criminal charges b/c you live too close to the school.
All b/c you and your girlfriend had sex, and her mother chose a certain route to get you to stop.

This happened, when he was in high school, to someone I met recently. He's about my age. He gets fired from every job he manages to get as soon as they find out.
It's a broken, tragic thing.
Yeah. It completely sucks. This could have been my high school sweetheart with me, given how horrible my custodial mother was. Argh!!
