First let me give the definition of the word :
Statutory **** is the crime of sex with a minor under the age of consent (AOC), the age at which individuals are considered competent to give consent to sexual conduct, but past the age of puberty. It is a generic term; states use many different statutory terms for the crime, such as "sexual assault", "**** of a child", "corruption of a minor", and "carnal knowledge of a minor". Statutory **** differs from forcible **** in that overt force or threat need not be present. The laws presumes coercion, because a minor is legally incapable of giving consent to the act.
The term statutory **** generally refers to sex between an adult and a sexually mature minor. Sexual relations with a prepubescent child, generically called "child molestation", is uniformly treated as a more serious felony.
Now this being stated... You cannot say acting in an online game in a hot tub or a love bed is actually statutory **** as they are not in real life touching the child in any way. I am a parent myself and I would not allow my child to play this. My oldest is 12 and I won't let her play because I don't feel she is mature enough to see the adult things or language in the game. If however a parent allows thier child to play this game then they should make sure they know what thier child is doing, saying and who they are talking to. The whole thing goes back to parenting and making sure you monitor your child with any internet use. Plain and simple.
