As a conservative, I believe in:
- Children getting more protection and less freedom than adults
- Equal treatment of all under the law
This story is an outrage according to those values

What if in some one else’s culture they think its fine to murder people who sleep with 12 year olds?

I think that’s called western culture which I’ve been told is very bad.

If that were true that’s fucking horrible, but I don’t see what your point is?
All I said was the previous comment’s points contradict each other, and that the US has current laws that are also horrible.

You’re correct, the consent age of 13 is with the provision of someone else of the same or older age consenting.
Even still, the full age of consent in some states can range from 14-16. Not much better.
