Alabama's law is in line with most of the rest of the country and some surprising places are much stricter. California's a straight 18, with greater than 3 years age difference being a felony and less than 3 being a misdemeanor.
Louisiana's is 17, with a 2 year age difference 'Romeo and Juliet' window if both participants are between the ages of 15 an 19.
Call it stupid if you want, but that is the law.
you are losing sight of the actual law he broke. there is a difference even if under age between consensual and not.
quote:
80.1. Misdemeanor carnal knowledge of a juvenile
A. Misdemeanor carnal knowledge of a juvenile is committed when a person who is seventeen years of age or older has sexual intercourse, with consent, with a person who is thirteen years of age or older but less than seventeen years of age, when the victim is not the spouse of the offender, and when the difference between the age of the victim and age of the offender is greater than two years, but less than four years.
B. As used in this Section, "sexual intercourse" means anal, oral, or vaginal sexual intercourse.
C. Lack of knowledge of the juvenile's age shall not be a defense. Emission is not necessary, and penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the crime.
D. Whoever commits the crime of misdemeanor carnal knowledge of a juvenile shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars, or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both.
E. The offender shall be eligible to have his conviction set aside and his prosecution dismissed in accordance with the appropriate provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
F. The offender shall not be subject to any of the provisions of law which are applicable to sex offenders, including but not limited to the provisions which require registration of the offender and notice to the neighbors of the offender.
ETA, now under 13 it doesnt matter as far as consent

I added an addendum to my post. I don't know enough about Hill to discuss it, I was just referring to the 'sex amongst high school students' statement.
As far as Hill goes, the whole thing is a moot discussion. The state convicted him of a misdemeanor, and that is the end. It doesn't matter if someone thinks the act should be totally legal and someone else thinks it should be a capital offense.
It was a misdemeanor committed before he even joined LSU. His most recent offense is also a misdemeanor. They were punished by the state as a misdemeanor and should be punished by LSU in the same light. That means you don't end the kid's career (and thus probably his education).
