4th worst in the WORLD is saying something. Poor urban planning. Expanded the city in development with no consideration of transportation.

It's not statutory rape and no police department and especially no District Attorney in Massachusetts is going to waste their time no matter what your parents try to do.

Call the DAs office and ask them yourself if you're still worried about it. They're probably going to laugh.

Sorry to hear about your situation though. Sounds hard.

Thing is my parents are Mega homophobic and know about the whole thing so I'm worried they might try to press charges against him for statutory rape

Alright yeah you have absolutely nothing to worry about. You're overthinking this.

My girlfriend in High School turned 18 a few months before I did. It's not illegal and nobody is going to care.

Yea because pedos don't pretend to be children online so we can totally believe you.

Dude, why are you attacking me? I fucking hate pedos as much as you do. I got groomed when I was 16 I'd shoot one if i could

Knowing the exact details of age of consent laws is like knowing exactly how much rat feces you're allowed to serve customers at your restaurant.

If you need to walk that line you're probably doing something fucked up and you know it.

not how you think it is. In a relationship where my boyfriend is coming of age a good chunk before I am

Guy. Don’t don’t do it.

Find a girl your own age

or I'm a 17 year old guy who wants to stay with my boyfriend who turns 18 this week

So either you're a 17 year old girl who wants to have sex with some 26 yo guy or you're a 17 yo guy who wants to hook up with a 15 year old girl.

You're extremely unlikely to get in any trouble either way but I would advise against it regardless.

Lol 4th worst IN THE WORLD?! Who are the top 3?

Not great, but I doubt it’s the fourth worst… lol

So it's intentionally vague for that gap in between 16 and 18

So essentially, under 15 is off limits no matter what, and once 16 is hit its essentially no bounds?

Laws are interesting in that people often misinterpret what they say. While it might be nitpicking, what laws often say is what you can not do rather than what you can do.

As an example, you will read people who say the law says the age of consent it 16, but in reality it doesn't say that at all. It instead says no one under 16 can legally consent to sex. Again, perhaps nitpicking but the law doesn't actually say you can consent if you are 16+. But only a court can rule that you were able to give consent at age 16 since it isn't explicitly stated in the law.

The age of consent is 16, and there is no law about age differences, so you can have sex with anyone else who is 16 or older. You cannot, however, have sex with someone who is under 16, period. A lesser charge of “consensual” statutory rape isn’t a thing here — you’d be charged with rape of a child (punishable by up to life in prison and being forced to register as a sex offender).

I still shudder at the prospect of the city hosting the Olympics

Yeah, India specifically - I’ve heard horror stories about the traffic from my remote colleagues over in Bangalore

The only time that Rush hour doesn't exist is between the hours of 10am-12pm now. Every damn day there's some accident.

Not to mention the weird drivers that feel the need to drive 40 mph in all three lanes for no reason, thus causing slow downs.

Not me that’s what happens when u let idiots run the place 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah it was always fucked but it was never as bad as it is now

People complain about NEw york and I’m like yeah u haven’t been to Boston in the last ten years have ya 😂😂😂 legit prob the main reason I despise Boston now
