Its the girls fault, but the dude should have looked at her id if she looked even close to 17-18 let alone 15. Just my 2 cents

And what would you say if she was underage and raped? Should she still be held accountable for putting herself in the situation in the first place?

No if she's actually raped then it wouldn't matter what age she was imo. Dude shouldn't be raping chicks

i think if she lied then he shouldnt get in trouble if he didnt know she wasnt 18 (if she looked said age too) also i would ask them to proof it if they looked that young wouldnt be worth the risk... but if they find out they were underage before having sex and still do it they should get into trouble for it cos thats just wrong x.x

And what would you say if she was underage and raped? Should she still be held accountable for putting herself in the situation in the first place?

if she lied about her age yes and i think most 15 year olds are smart these days?

O.o I'm kinda scared to answer this XD Waiting for those "to catch a predator" guys to break through my livingroom window or somethin.

Haha, there is nothing wrong with academic discussion :P
The reason I ask is because every couple weeks or so I see a story on the news where a girl would put herself in this situation, and in the end, the guy is always seen punished, where as the girl get no punishment what so ever even though she LIED.

I agree, though one must wonder what goes through the guy's ehad when he sees a 15 ear old after expecting to meet an 18 year old

double law major here, it is because she is underaged and the male never bothered to check an ID, even though it isnt common practice to do such things. But it is also wellll common sense for anyone in this day and age to check an ID especially meeting someone from the internet.. I mean seriously common sense.

She is accountable for her actions on putting herself on a +18 site. However. If she had met with the boy intending to have sex, and then claimed it was rape later because she regretted it, the boy should not be held accountable. She KNEW what she was doing was wrong and still did it.

The boy however, should also have been careful and made sure he knew the age of the girl before doing anything. Checking ID works wonders. However, that is not how our society works.

Now, if the man really DID force himself on her, then he is held accountable. If he forced himself on her and KNEW she was underage, then there is no doubt he is accountable. However the situation you're describing sounds like the guy did not know and it was consensual. Therefor I don't think the guy should be held accountable for anything other than not verifying the age of the girl.

indeed. And depending where you live, all matters whether she was of age to consent. Teens make stupid choices and their brains do not mature until 19-21 for females and late 20's-30's for males.
So if the age of consent is 18+ then the guy should use the brain in his head to check for ID instead of making a stupid mistake, let the blood flow to the brain before the penis.

Yes, but that is also much like a story a friend told me the other night. (this is in austrailia) Two guys he knew went to a 18+ bar. Two younger girls snuck in and they had picked them up there. Thinking that it was safe because it was 18+. Well the girls were younger, and they ended up calling the cops and saying they were raped. The cops came to their house and told them of the allegations and that they'd back after finishing their interview of the girls to interview them or arrest them and that they were in trouble.

In the two hours of waiting, one guy killed himself over it. They came back to tell them that they weren't being charged due to the fact that the girls had done this multiple times and caused problems for other guys too.

I don't ever believe that it is always just the guys fault. Girls can be just as evil and vindictive. I think there should be some law of protection when it is a venue that is supposed to be 18+. Unless of course the man DID use force, then that's just rape.

I think the chick should get in trouble if she said she was 18, and the man should get away if he's totally clueless about it.
