What’s upsetting is teens are allowed to drive but not take responsibility for there sex life.

I can relate to your wifes state of mind. They don’t care how it happened just that it did. and since I was the adult according to fl state, I was charged.

I’m with you. My husband was a homeless veteran when his “victim” pursued him. He was diagnosed with PTSD shortly after the incident, but they are calling her the vulnerable one!

I am the husband of a registered sex offender who was also pursued by a sexually active 17 yr old who in my opinion prayed upon her emotional vulnerability . These laws are absurd and help no one !

Great explanation. Thanks for that FAC. Thanks for all your expertise expended in defense of our Constitution.

Thanks Anon. Every time I read one of these rulings I hope that it is the foundation ruling that will relieve us all. My ignorance of the complexity of our legal system astounds me at times. Thanks for clearing this particular matter up for me.

This is for Colorado, they have one District (whereas Florida has the Southern, Middle and Northern).
That court covers Colorado only.

If it’s appealed, it goes to the 10th Circuit court of appeals. The 10th Circuit covers; the District of Colorado, the District of Kansas, the District of New Mexico, the Eastern District of Oklahoma, the Northern District of Oklahoma, the Western District of Oklahoma, the District of Utah and the District of Wyoming.

If THAT is appealed, it goes to the Supreme Court of the United States, which if heard, covers the entire US.

The opinion states this is for the district of Colorado. What does that mean?

Is there a Federal appellate court above this, or where would this be appealed to? Where does it sit in the court hierarchy?

To which courts and jurisdictions is this ruling binding?

I believe this would set precedent, whether binding or not, for at least consideration in other cases, for all courts throughout the nation, right?
