A Lancaster County judge sentenced Zachary Scheich last week after he pleaded no contest in July to first-degree sexual assault, attempted first-degree sexual assault, generation of child pornography --- age 19 or over --- and child enticement with electronic communication, according to a sentencing order and a plea agreement.
Scheich's sentence runs a maximum of 120 years in prison, according to the order. He won't be eligible for parole for 40 years, aaccording to KOLN-TV of Lincoln.
Note that I’ve never heard of this concept but that was my reading. Think this is probably response to the 2010s when idiot prosecutors were sending teenagers to jail for child porn when they took pictures of themselves to share with their bf/gf.
So called "Romeo and Juliet" laws. If high schoolers are dating when both are underaged and one person turns 18, it's meant to protect the 18 year old from sudden sexual assault charges.
Sometimes it's defined as a year gap, like "you can be 2 years older and still date, but no more."
