If it's considered sex with a minor and she gets an easier punishment because of her celebrity status, I'm going to throw something.

Then please refresh my memory and tell me which state it's in, because Netscape is being a flaming homosexual at the moment.

I don't even know what state, but she is 16 and her boyfriend is 19.
Why would she be punished?

I'm glad I don't live in New Mexico.

Ultimately, the first question for investigators would be the "venue," or the state in which the baby was conceived. Without that information, no criminal proceedings can be initiated. According to the penal codes of the three states where Aldridge and Spears, who turned 16 in April, were most likely to have conceived the child — California, where "Zoey 101" is taped; Louisiana, where Spears lives when the show is between seasons, and where she has said she intends to raise her child; and Mississippi, where Aldridge resides — Aldridge's paternity could potentially give rise to criminal charges.

California
AOC: 18

Louisiana
AOC: 17

Mississippi
AOC: 16

In statutory rape cases, it isn't the minor who is punished, it is the adult. The minor suffers no criminal charges whatsoever (unless she was voluntarily drunk or something, which would result in an underage drinking thing, you get the idea).

Basically, if the baby was conceived in Mississippi, the father can get off without any charges. But if it was California or Louisiana, regardless of whether it was consensual, it's considered statutory rape and Aldridge can be sent to jail.

I thought it was both if the minor clearly consented, so thanks for clearing that up.

Well, I'll check, but I'm fairly certain the minor gets off scot-free legally.

The aggravated child molestation statute mandates a ten-year minimum sentence

I'll see if I can find something else.

EDIT:

Found an article with opinions made by The Daily Mail, US Weekly, and CNN.

I laugh at this stuff.

Molested? Which counts as rape and molestation?

I didn't say this before, but up until Jamie got knocked up I forgot that she existed.
