I could see scenarios, where some religious right prosecutors and judges, bringing charges and trying some kid who just turned 18 for having sex with his 16 year old girlfriend, who will be seventeen in a month.

First of all it is not talking about sex between an almost 17 year old and an 18 year old boyfriend/girlfriend.  It clearly says under the age of 14.  Second of all, TWO CONVICTIONS!!  BS charges do happen unfortunately but with due process getting slower and slower and then actually surmounting enough evidence for an arrest let alone conviction- Twice, on seperate instances- not counts and we have double jeopardy laws so it is two occurrences.  Probably guilty as sin-- ya think?!  What DA have you ever met that would try to possibly arrest in the boyfriend/girlfriend scenario?
