That is the problem with this whole subject. Our government is supposed to be based on the harm principal. That is why Lawrence v Texas. Anything else is NOT rule of law.
Yes. From a prosecution standpoint that's how it's supposed to work. Reality vs what's written down often differ though.
And what I was refering to with my comment was a bit more vague, but all the same relevant. Rannoch's case: His folks guilted him for years, and threatened to turn him in or otherwise socially ruin him to keep him medicated and sedated. His only outlet for outcry was online and as we can now see he did that rather regularly but in real life he was very mild mannered and almost afraid to speak his mind. I only wish I'd picked up on why.
Having laws on the book that enable one to threaten and blackmail like that to control an individual can be their own problem.
