Wilmington, NC Police Department​

A wanted man was arrested last night by Wilmington Police for indecent liberties with a minor. Malik Matthews (age 25 from Wilmington) had multiple warrants out for him including lewd and lascivious, statutory sex offense against a child less than 13 years old, and indecent liberties with a child. He was taken into custody by officers without incident and is in the NHCSO detention center under a $500,000 bond.

How is it statutory with a child too young to give consent?

Make an incision in the top of his skull shaped like this *.
Then peel him like a banana.

"Statutory" just means according to the law. In other words, the minor may well have thought they wanted to have sex with the suspect and may have demonstrated their consent to sex with the suspect, but the law says they cannot yet give a valid consent. This is distinct from forcible sex offenses, where consent is not freely and voluntarily given.

So, if a 25yo hears consent from a person under 13 (0 through 12) then it's a no-no?

I'm thinking that statutory means 'stand real still - like a statue - and maybe I won't hit anything with this hatchet I'm gonna throw between your legs.

Basically. 13 will get you 20 and all that.

That's "statuary": "Pretend you've been carved from a block of marble."

In common law jurisdictions, statutory rape is nonforcible sexual activity in which one of the individuals is below the age of consent (the age required to legally consent to the behavior).

Imagine finding evidence of your 11 year old daughter sexting this clown. So glad I have boys.

I am grateful I only have boys too. With a boy you only need to worry about one dick. With a girl you need to worry about all of them.
