Is there an age of consent in Mexico?
Posted by genop | June 2, 2009 1:34 PM
Hate answering my own questions but had the time for a little research and the answer is kind of complex. In all states except Michoacan the tryst would have been legal.
puberty in: Nayarit, Querétaro
12 in: Aguascalientes, Baja California Sur, Campeche, Coahuila, Chiapas, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Mexico City, Morelos, Oaxaca, Puebla, San Luis Potosí, Sonora, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Yucatán, Zacatecas
13 in: Nuevo León
14 in: Baja California, Colima, Chihuahua, Durango, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, Tlaxcala, Veracruz
15 in: Mexico (state)
18 in: Michoacán (as of August 2006)

This raises many questions.

Even if it were legal to have sex with a 17-year old in Mexico, there would surely be some violation of US/Oregon law to travel across state/international boundaries with the intent to do so.

Wow. So incredibly stupid of them, if true. And yet, I totally believe it's possible.

Me thinks the AG might have a new lead?

Age of consent in Mexico isn't really relevant, is it? Last I checked, that city hall men's room wasn't in Mexico.

"Wouldn't that be something?"
Only if it happened before Beau turned 18. We already know that Sam lied about the details of the relationship.

If there was a relevant trip to Mexico, and it was lied about to AG investigators, oh oh. Can you spell "leverage" boys and girls?

Several key people in this town must have exactly this type of dirt on Sammy and are holding it over him. This would explain a lot of his actions and his positions on several issues...
