The problem is if this guy knows she 16 or not. If she told him she's 18 for example and he believed her then the police will still destroy him not caring if she lied. Now if he knew she was 16 then he knew better than to take her unless it was for her immediate protection from say family members abusing her. Young girls will lie about their ages and say they are 18 when they are 16 to 14. Police in Fla expect you to card women you meet in night clubs to make sure they are 18 plus. The fact is if you say to some girl I am going have to check your lisce first thing she is going think is you intend her harm. Not defending this guy if he knew simply pointing out there is his side of the story that will never be aired.
