You’ve got to admire Jared’s constant drive to get into smaller and smaller pants.

Sex with a person under 17 is a Class “E” felony if the perpetrator is at least 21.
She was 17, not under 17.
prostitution is not illegal in any state.
Are you talking about states in some other country?
Your first post mentioned “children” more than “minors”.
I believe the exception to these consent laws are if the parents sign of on a FREAKING WEDDING!!!

Jared Fogle reportedly will admit to possessing child porn and paying to have sex with children. Subway has fired its spokesman of 15 years and scrubbed its website of mentions—but it has not yet deleted this incredible online game promo, where SUBWAY KIDSTM catch candy using Jared’s discarded pants.

Just quoting the post.
@deedub - you beat me to it, I was just about to edit my reply. Sorry for the misstatement.
Ironically, if he hadn’t crossed state lines, nor paid for it, everything would have been legal. Age of consent in Indiana is 16.

And yet Fogle was in possession of child porn with children – little children – as young as age six. Sex with a 17 year old? In many states he’d have been just fine. Asking for younger, as in “the younger, the better”? Not fine anywhere.
I don’t much care what Fogle did with a 17 year old, but what he did and wanted to do with kids? Yeah. I care about that. Let’s not minimize what he and his buddy were up to here, OK?
No need to get into a semantic derail here, but that’s just not true. Consent is nowhere in any definition of “sex.”
What happened here is complicated. In New York State a 17 year old can legally consent to sex with somebody of the same age or older.
But Jared Fogle did two things:
- He paid for sex. I don’t know the relevant New York State law but that kind of thing opens people up to corruption of minors charges. In some states a 16 year old can consent but people who “corrupt the morals” of those under 18 can still get misdemeanor charges. In some states prosecutors use “corruption of minors” charges against adults who have sex with 16 and 17 year olds even if they aren’t paying for sex.
- He traveled across state lines to engage in commercial sex with someone under 18, and this is a federal crime. The feds are punishing him for engaging in underage commercial sex across state lines.
@Brainspore
In theory age of consent laws can be used against 13-17 year olds who sleep with people younger than them or even of the same age. In California all sex with anyone under 18 is criminalized (unless the parties are married). In theory two 17 year olds can be criminalized for sleeping with each other.
@dobby I haven’t heard of any state statutes which make exceptions for emancipated persons. They often do make exceptions if people are married.

In Canada the age of consent is 16, though if somebody is an authority figure then it shoots up to 18
Sure. And while we’re at it, let’s not restate the post we’re replying to under the guise of arguing, okay?
I’m neither pro-child porn nor pro- a 37 year old having sex with a 17 year old. I think I’ve stated that a few times on this thread already.

No need, and yet here we are. LOL
So you’re saying that rape is not a form of violence, it is a form of sex?
Why not both sex and violence? One of sex’s major functions is the continuance of one’s genetic line. Rape can potentially do that.
Potentially, but the intersections are not so large. One does not have to rape with one’s sexual organs, and I’ll leave it at that.
