Idk why it's being ignored and if it was brought up already then apologies for missing it.

    Link to info on it: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/insanity_defense

    There's no guarantee you'll be granted it but that's life with the law. There's no guarantees unless you're famous/disgustingly rich.
    To do a degree saying someone who is non neurotypical is insane opens up another ball of wax.

    However, this is a game and this topic is essentially about ERP. ERP with children is not okay. Full stop.
    Someone before brought up the legal context again which opened up the can of worms. Though generally when it comes to sexual related crimes between adult and minor often times the actions of the minor are not really considered in the grand scope. Mainly is a byproduct of our overworked legal system and staff and general lack of understanding of the scope of non nurotypical interactions play out. That is also a issue with our society.
