Will This Be Rejected by Laurel?

I have developed a story where the husband of a protagonist has been having sex with an underage person and will be prosecuted and thrown in jail. I just realized that Laurel will probably reject it. She rejected a story when I used the phrase "like high school kids." Any idea how to get someone thrown in jail for statutory rape in a story?

Her name is spelled Laurel, by the way. Just taking a guess here, but I think the story will be rejected. You probably can't do a story about statutory rape, almost by definition, because it almost automatically violates the rules. Try another site; I can PM you with info if you wish.

I post some stories on other sites with less restrictive rules because I got tired of the pettiness about issues here. (Plus I have different audiences.) "Like high school kids," Jesus. It's her site, but they are my stories, and I don't want to be subject to the dictates of a single individual.

Sounds like you're doing a one-two in terms of content that won't fly on Lit - non consent and underage. Not quite sure why you're looking for a plot element when the fundamentals probably won't pass the test.

If you don't describe the relationship--or describe it in some anti-erotic way--then it might be accepted. But, if the underage person was a willing participant in an erotic relationship, then you've already said to much. There may be no way to get it through other than by accident.

There's got to be a hundred other ways to get the husband thrown in jail.

Here is the paragraph I was going to put in:

“My lawyer just called and she got the initial report from her detective buddy.” She took a long drink and I motioned for her to continue. “Jack’s cunt is only 17. AND, she’s his boss’ fucking daughter. He is so fucked!”

So I am just referring to a crime. I am not decribing the crime. I am not describing underage sex.

If you feel a need to ask, the answer is it will probably be rejected.

Would it make any significant difference to the story if the woman (or women) he is accused of raping, were adults?

 

[lovecraft68]

I think you can say they were jailed for statutory rape, you just can't give any details of the crime, including the age "jailed for raping a 14 year old girl" for example will get the boot, but just naming the crime should be fine

However, when it comes to what will or won't make it through on any given day changes seeing the method the site uses is this:

 

[Quinn_McMullen]

Did you have issues before, getting stories accepted? Laurel might be more critical to authors that have a bad track record.

I haven't written about any underage sex. I had an exhibitionist run into to "four teens". I changed it to four college aged people. And I had the aforementioned reference to two adults acting "like high school kids."

McMurphy:

She was fifteen years old, going on thirty-five, Doc, and she told me she was eighteen, she was very willing, I practically had to take to sewing my pants shut. Between you and me, uh, she might have been fifteen, but when you get that little red beaver right up there in front of you, I don't think it's crazy at all and I don't think you do either. No man alive could resist that, and that's why I got into jail to begin with. And now they're telling me I'm crazy over here because I don't sit there like a goddamn vegetable. Don't make a bit of sense to me. If that's what being crazy is, then I'm senseless, out of it, gone-down-the-road, wacko. But no more, no less, that's it.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (the movie)

Never says sex in the whole thing. It implies he fucked her, but never describes the act and therefore, should pass muster here. So, not sure you'd have a problem either.

If you add a note of explanation to Laurel when you submit, it ought to past. I would refrain from referring to a minor as a cunt, though.

I'm with MelissaBaby; don't refer to her as a cunt. I'd go a step further and take the age out.

"Jack's new toy isn't legal" gets the same thing done.

Edit: I've had one story rejected (then accepted without change) for underage content. The rejection notice said nothing about under age sex. The question was more like "does the story include an underage relationship?" You might want to keep that in mind.

I like this solution. I used cunt because the character had been using the term to describe the woman who stole her husband.

Thank you to everyone who responded. I think I have a good solution.

He did say he was "developing" the story when he realized that it potentially was going to have problems. I've done that myself a couple of times.

I would advise him to give it a try here, try to make it acceptable - although non-consent plus underage characters makes it a tough go. I also would advise him to try other, less restrictive sites.

 

[Quinn_McMullen]

By definition, underage = nonconsent.

 

[Bramblethorn]

By definition, underage = nonconsent.

"Under-age by Literotica's standards" and "statutory rape" are not necessarily equivalent, because there are plenty of places where the statute doesn't set a cutoff at 18.

Agree with other posters that it might fly, if you do not detail the sex at all (and refrain from calling the minor a "cunt"), but I wouldn't guarantee it, and you're probably better off finding a different way to get him in jail if you can. Maybe he's using the corporate credit card to buy stuff for his 19-year-old mistress?

Yes, the point you're making is about the guy's legal jeopardy and not the age of his partner as such. What about "she's not legal?" Or something like:

“My lawyer just called and she got the initial report from her detective buddy.” She took a long drink and I motioned for her to continue. “Jack’s girlfriend is his boss's daughter. And it's statutory rape. He is so fucked!"

I don't think there are any states, or places in the world actually, where statutory rape is defined as with a person over eighteen. Well, in places like Saudi Arabia, I guess non-marital sex with anybody could get you into trouble. Maybe somebody should write a story about that, assuming they have some credible knowledge of what life is like in certain Muslim countries.

I have an upcoming scene where a guy talks about his days in high school. But it's entirely about his commute, the people on the trains, conditions in his old neighborhood and so forth. There is nothing sexual in it.

But you know what? I'm mentally prepared, in case it might be rejected anyway.

Age of consent is 21 in Bahrain and Cameroon (hetero) and in Gabon, Madagascar, and Benin (same-sex relationships). But I was talking more the other way - there are lots of places where the legal AoC is a year or two below Literotica's cutoff.

Caught me by surprise. I guess Bahrain is a little like Saudi Arabia; I don't know what is going on in Cameroon.

There must be a number of countries where same-sex relationships are outright banned.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

In England&Wales since 2003 there is essentially a crime of statutory rape if the child is under 13 - doesn't matter what they said their age was or if they claimed to consent, you're getting banged up.

The crime of sex with an under-age minor has a possibility of defence, 'she showed me ID saying she was 16' - the age of consent being 16, unless the older person is 'in a position of trust' in which case it's 18 - but no-one would ever refer to that crime as rape, statutory or otherwise. Unless it was rape, of course.

 

[TadOverdon]

I suppose "statutory rape" might be an autoflag itself.
