I don't believe in an invisible line of maturity at 18 years old, no. If it were up to me, I'd decide it case by case, not by some blanket law. But that's pretty unmanageable.

These were not kids. They were 17, committed a serious crime then bragged about it. Then they got their names mentioned in public by a victim who feels like this destroyed a part of her youth.

I feel no pity that she may have found a way to return the favour.

So if 17 isn't a minor in your eyes, what's the point of referring to it as a crime against a minor, since the victim was also 17?

The point I'm making is that the guy I was responding to was trying to have his cake and eat it too.
