If the matter comes before the court, according to a friend in the profession, the law will be upheld and the twenty-four-year-old will be choosing between Bubba and the hand for a period of time. Not to mention the whole sex offender registration issue for life. If the parents are proven complicit they could have legal issues of their own to deal with.
Bottom line, everyone be nice and two years isn't such a long time. It doesn't hurt to have a substantial bank account just in case. According to my friend, such a situation could cost a defendant much more than he bargained for, in more ways than one.
