      <![CDATA[If she was 17 she'd be legal in Missouri. These laws are so arbitrary. A five year age difference that young is certainly creepy and wrong. But illegal?<br />
<br />
I don't think you should conflate molesting children with these "third degree rape" (wtf is that?) cases.

      <![CDATA[Problem in this case is that the teenager could be to blame. I'm 17 and I have fantasized about seducing strong-willed and idolized religious figures.  But I guess nowadays that isn't very difficult. And 22? that's the best age. only 5 years older...

      <![CDATA[I dated a 21-year-old when I was 17... But we didn't do anything illegal. It's funny, all my church friends gave me shit because he was Mormon, but that Mormon boy was one of the most respectful guys I ever dated, and much more worried about preserving my purity than anyone else, including me.

      <![CDATA[Those are some pretty minor charges there for that sort of thing, she must be just under the age of consent.  It looks like a 22 year old and a 17 year old.  Vacation Bible school is usually for little kids so it's possible it's one member of the staff dating another.  I wouldn't want the guy working with the teens, though.  <br />
<br />
And it sad but true, nothing's more Biblical than an old guy with a young woman.  Following that book too closely makes for a creapy moral code.
