      He was 17. IIRC, it would’ve still been illegal for him to have sex with her if she was 14 or younger, so they were very careful to specify that she was “over 14.”

        Uh huh, sure she was.

        Every time anyone shares information about someone they are dating they lead with unsolicited information of why the relationship is technically legal. It’s how you know the love is pure. \s
