Spencer, but I'm not relevant to the case.
Got it, Spencer. What legal issue can I provide information on today?
In young sheldon, Mandy is a 29 year old female, who ended up sleeping with a 17 year old Georgie Cooper multiple times. She then became pregnant. This is in Texas, year *.
In Texas, the age of consent is *, which means it's legally permissible for someone aged * or older to engage in sexual activities with an adult. However, laws can vary and other factors may influence legal outcomes, such as coercion or lack of consent. In *, these laws would have generally been similar, but it's always best to consult with a legal professional for detailed historical legal context.
So here's the question, who's right in this discussion? @kristinesharp6286 * hour ago Shouldn’t she be arrested for underage. Reply * replies @archmadnessdr6504 * hour ago Technically no because of age of concent in Texas is * and he did lie about age he could catch a charge aswell. @xaviermoncada-martin8156 * minutes ago @Isaic02 If he wasn’t legal, would marrying him keep her out of prison? Reply @i2tryhard * seconds ago @xaviermoncada-martin8156 Hello Xavier. That was the worst question I've ever heard. As for the answer, no. That would not keep her out of prison. But if they DID get married, that would mean that they couldn't testify against one another, which would be MASSIVE in a case where the involvement of those two IS the case. So the case would probably get thrown out.
In Texas, the age of consent is *, which means it's legally permissible for a *-year-old to engage in sexual activities with an adult, even in *. Therefore, Mandy wouldn't be arrested simply for the age difference. However, other legal factors, such as coercion, could change the situation. Marriage would not affect the legality of the act, but it might influence legal proceedings due to spousal privileges.
So @i2tryhard was correct?
Case Rating: *
In Texas, the age of consent is indeed *, meaning that the age difference alone wouldn't make the relationship illegal in *. However, marrying someone doesn't inherently protect either party from legal consequences related to the initial act. Spousal privileges can affect legal proceedings but not the legality of the act itself. Therefore, @i2tryhard's point about spousal privileges affecting testimony is valid, but the case wouldn't necessarily be thrown out solely because of marriage.
