by Roy Maynard

Cover Story | Alarmed by mounting costs and soaring illegitimacy rates, America may finally be waking up to the evils of statutory rape. Laws are slow to change, but, buoyed by public outrage, prosecutors in some states have found that existing statutes may suffice. They aim to make sure that older men who rob girls of their innocence are found guilty.
