"To throw in my own bit of false equivalence: the current civil case against Prince Andrew is one of the biggest incidences of legal hypocrisy imaginable: the age of consent in many US states is less than 16 but I don't see many attempts to get trials moved from Tennessee or Texas moved to New York state. "
It sure is false equivalence, it's 18 in Tennessee and 17 in Texas.
Even in Washington state, the law is 16, but they do allow for down to 12 depending on age of the older party (under 14)
