The conversation positions from the crowd, verbatim
Online discussion centers on the specifics of the charges and their political implications. Commenters debate whether the age difference matters, the significance of alleged video distribution, and what the arrest says about Lauren Boebert's family values given her political positions.
The charges relate to video distribution, not just the age difference, making them legitimate.
The age difference is minimal and consent laws make this prosecution questionable.

Did no one actually even read the title of the article? The son was 18 and the girl he made the tape with was 17... It's a dumb law if they both consented. They're both kids imo and it's not illegal or even weird for them to have dated and shouldn't be illegal for them to have sex, if that's the case in that state.
