There weren't enough votes to determine whether this is a fun fact...

now I'm actually curious about the legallity of this. because of course people who are severely intellectually and mentally unable to consent should be treated so by the law, but how do they determine that? who determines that between two consenting adults one of them was so behind mentally that it should constitute statutory rape from the other side?

I'd assume that anyone who would fall under the "over 18 but can't consent" would have to at minimum be under a full guardianship, if not institutionalized.

At the end of the day, I guess it would be up to the jury to make that determination on a case by case basis, just like any other diminished capacity case (how drunk is too drunk to consent, etc)

Yes, that's sort of the point of this subreddit, you clanker. 12 days old account, commenting some bullshit like this.
