Too young to consent, but old enough to pay.

I will occasionally post stories like these, which show the upside-down logic of family court.

In this case, a 14 year old boy had sex with a 20 year old woman.  Under Arizona law, the boy was too young to consent to the sexual encounter, making him a victim of statutory rape.

The relationship produced a child, but the boy did not know this fact.

The boy grew up, trained for a career, and started his own life.  He did not find out about the child until eight years later, when the state started proceedings against him for child support.
