Why hasn't Levi Johnson been arrested for statutory rape yet?

Question

I mean any other 18 year old American boy that got a minor pregnant would have. Just another example of how the rich and famous get away with murder. I guess when your the boyfriend of the vice presidential nominee it's OK?

Answer 1

I beleive the age of consent in Alaska is 16.  

Answer 2

Earlier today  someone answered that they thought the age for  a female in TexAS was 16

Answer 3

The age of consent in Alaska is 16. Bristol is 16. So it would be legal for even a 40 year old to be with her.

I'm not a Palin fan. But i won't let partisanship cloud my judgement like some people.

Answer 4

It varies by state, and yes everyone should have to abide by the laws.

BTW did Biden ever have get punished at any time for his past serial plagiarism?    

Answer 5

I don't think "any other 18 year old" would get arrested either.  That law isn't really enforced anywhere, unless the parents press the issue.  There are lots of pregnant minors running around all over the country.

Answer 6

He didn't break any laws in Alaska. 18 year old kids aren't usually charged in the rest of America either. The liberals are just miffed that the girl won't get an abortion.

If Levi Johnson was a black 18 year old in the inner city, and he did the same thing he did in Alaska, and he was charged with a crime, you could hear the liberal screeching and howling on the moon. There must be a different standard for liberals and their friends.

Answer 7

Not really.  Most states have "Romeo and Juliet" laws that prevent a charge of statutory rape as long as the ages of the participants aren't too far apart.  Often a charge of statutory rape isn't pursued unless the parents or minor press charges.

Answer 8

The age of consent in Alaska is 16 - he cant be charged with statuatory rape.

Answer 9

Age of consent in Alaska is 16.

Answer 10

Age of consent in Alaska is 16.  It goes by state law NOT federal law.
