In reply to DeanD.

Dean I also want to bring up another issue you may want to escalate to your local state representative...the grey area. I'll use Illinois for example where the current legal for consent is age is 17, even though historically it was once 16. Even though the current legal age for consent is 17 in Illinois the legal code clearly states to be found guilty of sexxual misconduct against someone underage you MUST fit the following depiction: "a person 17-years-old or older has sex with a minor under the age of 13." As you can see there is still a discrepency on what the law considers an adult within the same state as the laws state one age to be legal and another age to fit the category of criminal. This is a good example why the US needs one uniform age of what is legal and not legal. I opinion, 13 years old is too young to be considered legal whereas 16 and older is perfectly legal in my eyes. It is very confusing and I can understand why an old school brotha like R. Kelly decided to go 21 years plus old the past 15 years so that there is no confusion.
