so that refers to adult acting with a minorWowWho's telling you all this crap?? First of all, it wouldn't BE rape. They were BOTH WAAAAY underage. So MAYBE who ever told you there was no statute of limitations was speaking out of their ass. Could be different for UNDERAGE sex acts between minors....
Really. Who are the morons feeding you? Fire them. Get new morons..
Really? It's not rape because they were "waaaay underage"? He was 17, and she was 15. That is not "waaaay underage", that is almost at the age of consent (18). And, there is nothing in MD's sexual assault laws that say you have to be over a certain age for it to be rape. Matter of fact, the penalties go up as the age goes down.
