[quote=speedracer29]unless a girl is obviously ****, a guy can only go by what the girl tells him. will a girl who is 10 days shy of her 18th birthday look any different when she does turn 18? no. the big difference is if the guy knows or has reason to believe she is still a minor. my rule of thumb: when in doubt, walk away. it's just not worth the hassle.[/quote]all i'm saying is that recently there was an incident of human trafficking in hillsborough county, and the girls were hispanic and some were ****. it would raise a red flag with me if some girl said that a guy was going to set them up with a house to live in while they do their business. there are a couple of guys in jail right now that did something similar to this.
you get caught with a girl 10 days shy of her 18th birthday, and you tell uncle leo "well, she said she's 18.", find out what that gets you. we had a guy in spring hill that was sitting at a bar drinking beer with a girl. they decided to go out to the car and have a little fun. leo pulls up on them, asks for id's, and the girl is only 17. the owner of the bar that served her got slapped on the wrist. the guy who thought he was with someone that was at least 21 did 1 year and 1 day in prison.
and i totally agree with you. when in doubt, walk away. providers lie about their age all the time.
