    This wouldn’t be illegal in the UK or many countries. Age of consent is 16 here. From what I’ve read, USA is an outlier that infantises young adults to impose mortality.

    Always weird because the music videos exported by the US are often soft porn and the music industry has a thing for barely legal girls.

      I don’t live in the US BTW. I said “the DA” to conform to what most of the viewers on Lemmy are used to (most are US citizens). In reality we don’t have a district attourney, you involve the police and the state takes care of things onwards.

      Which just goes to show you that that “imposed morality” thing isn’t really working… in the US or anywhere else. The US is somewhere at the top by number of pedophiles vs. number of population.
