So, you're saying 17 is okay, since it's the AOC almost anywhere?
You know the accusations against Gaetz are s*x trafficking, right? The Law doesn't think Gaetz r*ped a child, they're going after him because so many things can be s*x trafficking, even when they shouldn't. You're even committing a federal felony when you take a 25 year old woman across state lines for immoral purposes--which can include a premarital romantic weekend.

The law actually doesn't go after him at all. The charges were dropped. Turns out for all your hysteria, the nuance that is impossible to add in law does get taken into account when judging individual cases.

Yes, he was investigated when it was politically convenient, and it was dropped quietly when it wasn't needed, but people still keep insisting he's a child abuser.
