Of course. But the law has always said that 14-year-olds are subject to intimidation, not adults who can make those decisions. It's why they call them "jailbait". It's there to protect foolish young girls. No one wants that law to go away, do they?
Baton Rouge police make second arrest in fight involving LSU running back Jeremy Hill http://www.nola.com/lsu/index.ssf/2013/05/baton_rouge_police_make_second.html
Hill plays (played) football at a public university not an employee of a private company. I would hope there is a higher standard. I would hope any convicted felon is expelled from LSU and takes the matter out of any coach's hands.
a felony conviction qualifies you to do time at Angola (the State Penitentiary). punching a guy isn't a felony, it's just a misdemeanor. a felony would be if Hill stabbed the guy with a knife, shot him with a gun, etc
From the LSU Code of Student Conduct . . . 9.7. Sanctions for Non Academic Misconduct A. The following general guidelines are used for maximum and minimum sanctions for nonacademic offenses. Any sanction or combination of sanctions consistent with similar cases with similar facts and circumstances may be imposed. 1. Acts of violence or threat offenses against persons and/or offenses that directly place persons in jeopardy or fear of harm. The minimum sanction is separation from the University for the remainder of the semester in which the offense occurred, and restitution (if appropriate). The intermediate sanction is separation from the University for one calendar year or more, and restitution (if appropriate). The maximum sanction is Expulsion from the University. 2. Offenses that involve disruption of the University, its programs, or other University efforts to accomplish its objectives and/or that indirectly place persons in jeopardy or harm. a. The minimum sanction is Disciplinary Probation for the remainder of the Student's enrollment in the University.b. The intermediate sanction is separation from the University for at least the semester in which the offense occurred.c. The maximum sanction is Expulsion. Soooo . . . . as far as the university goes, if convicted, Hill will at least be suspended for the rest of the Spring semester and must pay restitution. He could be suspended for a year or expelled if they think it is appropriate. A misdemeanor will probably get the minimum. Possibly he would also be on disciplinary probation for the rest of his enrollment at LSU. A felony will likely get the maximum (expulsion), especially since it is not a first offense and possibly a probation violation. I think this trouble is more serious than many people imagine. So game suspensions are really going to come down to Les if Hill is convicted of a misdemeanor and only academically suspended for this semester.
