Posted - 02/23/2003 : 12:18:36 PM We have a non-landed club in Pittsburgh, PA. Last week a young married couple came to our swim. We found later that they were only 16 yrs old. Yeah, I know, 16 and married! But I'm getting into another subject.
My question is that if they are married and therefore legally emancipated should we admit them to the club? What kind of legal problems could we run into by having 16 yr olds at a nude venue?
Has anyone run into a problem like this before? Any lawyers care to give us advice? If you want to email me privately my address is kennet108@cs.com
Thanks in advance for your replies

Posted - 02/26/2007 : 08:04:51 AM What exactly is the problem with having minors at a nude venue? I have seen a lot of children at nude beaches and resorts. Is it because there was no "adult" with them that is causing the concern? |

Posted - 02/25/2007 : 11:23:33 AM The official age of consent in the state of Pennsylvania is 16. Further more, at that age, especially because they are married, Pennsylvania law states that they can commit the act of intercourse, in private, so if they had done that while in their private sleeping quarters, still no legal action could be taken against the camp/resort.
If we were meant to be naked, we would have been born that way. |

Ah, would that it were so simple in the law ! The mere fact that these individuals are NOW of legal age has no impact on what may (or may not) have transpired when they were younger. If there were any legal exposure to the club, it arose out of the fact that these persons were not of the age of consent at the time they were admitted. That was true then, and will always be true, even when they are 65. I would hope that, since we have heard no further, that no problems arose, and since no one complained, no actions were taken. That is most often the course of events in life as we know it. That should, IMHO, be the net outcome of most of life's little meetings: no harm, no foul, no hoo-hah, and no lawsuit. But the trend has not been such in the past few decades, eh?
I understand the curiosity, but best let sleeping dogs lie.

Posted - 11/08/2005 : 10:14:18 PM Good idea.
Being 16 and married does not give one the right to buy alcohol. Or vote. Emancipation may convey the right to contract in the context of marriage, but generally it refers to termination of parental responsibilities and control. |
