What would happen if one of these tough-talking statutory rapist prosecutors decided it was time to "get tough" on underage drinking. It's no use threatening these teenage tipplers with juvenile detention, he would say, that's too "soft." We need to "get serious" and try them as adults. But of course trying them as adults, in that case, would mean they were no longer guilty of underage drinking.
