Still a predator. dude was a child
If she didnt know the age anon couldve easily fooled her. When i was 16 or even 15 a lot of people thought i was more like 20. Not that im defending her and it really depends on the situation.
Isn't this the same exact excuse men say when caught with a minor? It's the adult responsibility to make sure, not guess, the age of the partner
I mean I think it’s the adults responsibility to make due diligent efforts to check, but if the minor continues to lie, is it really on the adult anymore? Unless there were glaring red flags that a reasonable person could suspect, I don’t believe the adult can be held responsible.
I have no idea how the law handles this, but from my understanding, “mens rea” (guilty mind) is required to prove criminal wrongdoing. There would be no “mens rea” proof here since the adult had to have willful intent to commit a crime.
