Let's say you're a 30-40 year old man that goes on-line looking for some action. You eventually find some female that appears to be willing, so you go for it. Well, turns out she's between 15 and 17 and you end up going to jail. Is that the end of the story? Probably not.
Four men, including a local television news employee and a Houston orthodontist, have been indicted and arrested on charges of sexual assault of a child.

Investigators said the men made contact with a girl younger than 17 on the Internet and had sex with her at her Fort Bend County home in separate incidents in 2002 and 2003.

Tela Mange, a spokeswoman for the Department of Public Safety in Austin, said the girl was between 15 and 16 years old when the alleged offenses occurred.
Ok, so the State sets the age of consent at 18, so the fact that these men allegedly did the deed is pretty despicable in and of itself. But what about her? If a underage girl is going to go online and look for men to have sex with (which obviously she did, because she found at least four), shouldn't that come into play at some point in these guy's trials? They didn't exactly run into each other at a prayer meeting.
