    Grey area. Not a large age gap and they were together while both being minors.

    That mom and son come across as really gross. I hope that girl gets real help.

      Strict Limits of Idaho’s Laws

      Idaho’s Romeo and Juliet laws have strict limits compared to many states. Key restrictions include:

      • No defenses for victims under 15

      • 3 year max age gap for 16-17 year olds

      • Defendant max age of 17 for 15 year olds

      • Parents can still pursue charges

      Overall, Idaho offers relatively weak Romeo and Juliet protections compared to most other states.

        Came here to see if anyone investigated Romeo and Juliet laws.

        Holy. Shit.

        I’ve never heard of such a draconian application.
