    17yo said it was consensual. What rape allegations are you referring to?

    I think he did pay her and took her across the state lines which is the crime here. No prosecution 🤡

      Statutory rape? she was 17 and he was… 30? Besides, between the two I’m going to assume the law school graduated, 30-year old knew he was plying a much younger, more naive minor for the sake of sex, even if he did pay for it. He knew what he was doing.

          He transported a girl from Florida, where age of consent is 18, to Georgia, where age of consent is 16, in order to have sex with her. This is a form of interstate child sex trafficking and is a federal crime. Not going to cite the specific statute because I suspect you aren’t asking in good faith.
