Romeo & Juliet Clause
Stop the "sexual predator" title being placed on a person involved in a consensual relationship with another if they are within a 4 year age range! We are one of only 5 states that haven't defined an age gap-Wisconsin it is past time.
Why is this important?
Our society is flooded with stories of just barely 18 year olds being charged and their lives being destroyed due to relationships that our society accepted up until the moment they turned 18. Children that we encourage to be a part of the community that is public high school are being prosecuted for the relationships they develop and we as a society encourage. April 18th, 2013 yet another victim of this oversight is due in court.
