You have to define "fair." The rules are posted - everyone knows what they mean...we even have a term - jail bait - to refer to underage girls.
I suspect what we have in this case is a person who never even gave the law a moment's thought when she turned 18....just kept doing what they were doing.
I do wonder what the younger girl's parents were doing in the run-up to the older one's 18th birthday?
Do understand though that in most cases judges are elected by the same bunch of redneck morons who elected the state legislators that passed these laws in the first place. Worse, many judges are merely lawyers who have been politically active in whichever party dominates the area in question. It is not a pretty picture.
I suppose a system could be devised which was not based on age. I shudder to think what it might be.
