Has the mother-to-be's birthday been made public?

If she conceived at age 16 isn't that rape in many jurisdictions?

Seems like many parents (other than GOP veep hopefuls) would want

to handle this a lot differently. Which makes me believe the main

players in the GOP race had no idea about this until it was too late.

1. I found this online...

Alaska Age of Consent Laws



The Alaska age of consent laws are unique. The age of consent in Alaska is 16. This is the age at which an individual may consent to have sex with someone over 18, legally, in Alaska. It applies both to heterosexual and homosexual acts.

The minimum age to marry in Alaska is 18. People under the age of 18 can marry with the consent of both parents. The prospective bride and groom should bring certified birth certificates, and their parents should present valid identification.

3. Age of consent is 16

but the age you can marry is 18? Does that mean the State of Alaska (Gov Sarah Palin) sanctions two years of care-free pre-marital sex?

2. one post said her birthday is October, which means she was 17

and, in any event, the age of consent in Alaska is 16.

4. Nah, let's not go there

Info on the boyfriend is irrelevant.

5. Info on the boyfriend might be relevant if older than the legal age to have sex with a minor.

Alaska provides it to be statutory rape if the age difference is more than 3 years involving a minor.

still in High School.
