AGE OF CONSENT A John Stossel Special

No matter what the law says, teenagers do have sex. There's not much most parents can do about that. Or is there? Should sexually active teens be treated as criminals?  And, anyone can search online and find out if a registered sex offender lives in their neighborhood, but are some people going too far to expose sexual PREDATORS?  Most often the victims in sex crimes are young girls, but what if the roles are reversed? What if it's a woman having sex with a teenage boy? Is that less of a crime?  Plus, the age of consent varies from state to state and country to country… ranging from 21 down to 9 years old. So what should the age of consent be? Should there be a legal age set at all?

ABC News Correspondent and “20/20” co-host, John Stossel, explores all of these questions and more in Age of Consent: A John Stossel Special - 9AM, Memorial Day, on News Talk 1340, WGAU.
