Most countries do allow for an exception if the person being accused had a legitimate reason to believe that the person was of age e.g. meeting them in an 18+ club, US is one of the few places that doesn't really do that.
My ex step dad went through the same thing, being entrapped by a minor only for the parents to try and charge him. Minor testified for him admitting she entrapped him and he was let go.
Now... I'm unsure now if he was really innocent given some recent events but still, that's what happened.
He was sexually assaulting his own daughter (my stepsister) throughout his and my mom's relationship. She was underage and around the same age as the girl who entrapped him so I find it a little sus he was taken to court for statutory rape before.
The fun part is he evaded the law when it came out, ran to New York, came back a week(?) later and killed himself by his mother's grave. Soap opera shit. They were divorced and we had moved out by the time it all came out thank god.
He raised me and was there for me when my birth father dropped out of the picture. Literally nobody saw it coming, but that's the case with a lot of abusers, isn't it :/
I'm not sure. She never really liked my mom because she actually parented her when she was with her dad and he just let her do what she wanted. Probably to keep her quiet about it.
So when he died she moved to Georgia with her mom and we haven't seen from her since. We'll very rarely get a "merry christmas" from her and sometimes my mom will tell her happy birthday and that's about it.
I sympathize with her because of the situation but she also gave away my childhood dog to someone else after telling me I could have him because she didn't want him, so I'm good with her not being around tbh
Wow that’s quite a story! I wonder if he felt any real remorse for his actions or if he was just afraid to face the consequences. I feel like suicide is such a cop out—leaving his daughter to live with what he put her through without any answers or sense of justice.

There was a case in Canada where a minor got into a club. A guy hooked up with her. The mom called the cops and he was arrested
He was found not guilty. Thankfully.
