The epitome of libertarian populismOriginally Posted by Ron Paul
Uh, it's actually 14.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_o...Europe#GermanyThe age of consent in Germany is 14, as long as a person over the age of 21 does not exploit a 14- to 15-year-old person's lack of capacity for sexual self-determination, in which case a conviction of an individual over the age of 21 requires a complaint from the younger individual; being over 21 and engaging in sexual relations with a minor of that age does not constitute an offense by itself.
Which sort of supports what my German friend said about the male teacher pursuing the 15 year old student .... they didn't consider it a big deal and were sort of baffled about why it was all over the newspapers in our town.
I'm one of the reasons we can't have nice things, I guess. I'm certainly not going to lobby for sexual freedom, but there's a difference between pre and post-pubescent. A 6 year old is not sexually mature in any definition of the word, but a 14 year old female usually is.

Seriously tho, what happened here?
...You misread/are selectively reading my comment, and Wikipedia isn't the best source. There are three "tiers" for AOC in Germany.
14 years old - may have sex with other youths under age 18.
16 years old - may have sex with adults of any age, provided these adults aren't in a position of temporary or legal guardianship and/or aren't gifting the teenager with money, favors, etc.
18 - full "legalization" (allowed to work as a prostitute or in porn).
Where things become confusing is this: if the 14-year old is in a relationship with an 18-21 year old, the adult is not automatically guilty of statutory rape as he/she would be in the US. The German authorities only become involved if a complaint is filed by either the minor or their guardians. If the guardians file a report and the minor objects to this report (claims it was consensual), the outcome of the report hinges on whether the minor is found to be psychologically mature enough. If that is indeed the case, then the judge will typically side with the minor. However, a judge may decide differently if the adult is not 21 but rather 30-40. (Which, incidentally, is the scenario I am railing against in this topic. All of these FSP degenerates are in their 30s.) In other words, it's culturally frowned upon for adults to chase kids, but there isn't automatic hand-wringing at a 14 and an 18-19 year old being involved with each other, like there would likely be in the US.
The German penal code is available online in English if you google it.

Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just and that his justice cannot sleep forever. Thomas Jefferson
I'm of the opinion that federal money and the goons it buys should not be involved in any criminal prosecutions.
Your reading of that opinion as vigilantism is wrong both in theory and on its face.
Federal monies have permitted the entire legal system to be corrupted, a minimal amount of study should lead you to the same conclusion.

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.
It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.
Our words make us the ghosts that we are.
Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.
And yet,,continually when a young adult (Teen) is having sex it is referred to as Pedophilia even in these forums.
and any and all discussion devolves from that point.
AGE OF CONSENT LAWS ARE BOTH UNNECESSARY AND RIDICULOUS.
Removing Pedophiles when found should be a case of Justifiable homicide.
Punishing people for having normal sex is not the role of government.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
