It's a bit more complicated than that, actually.  I prefer an age
difference standard.   At that age difference, I'd say misdemeanor and
not subject to sex offender registration, not felony, tho a 25/14 range
would be a felony and thus be subject to registration (and a 16/14
range wouldn't be the state's business at all beyond ensuring it's
consensual and enforcing public decency standards, so if it's in the home,
not lover's lane... and notifying the parents, of course)

If you wish to discuss further, I'm game, but please let's take it to
private mail, since it's off topic for the list.
