    The point is, this law is pretty much similar everywhere,
    Age of consent is different in different countries, in the USA it is the highest AFAIK. In Russia sex with a a biologically sexually mature girl is not punishable regardless of age.

    I think Marcus said the age of consent in Russia was 16. I guess if you molest a teen under that age you'll still be prosecuted, won't you?

    Sounds sick. I doubt that you'd tell it to your daughters or to your younger sisters.

    Why? That was the law in the Soviet Union. What harm is done to them by sex? Why are you talking about girls and not about boys?

    Oh yeah? No harm? Grown men with young teenage girls? Sick! Same as the older woman with teenage boy, but how often this could happen? Not so much.
