It's legal to do it, just not to talk about it

Now, here's a headscratcher for you - soliciting sex from a minor is a crime. The solicitation statutes define "minor" as somebody under 18. The age of consent, however, in most places is 16 (including, possibly, DC). Glenn Greenwald points this out here.

So while it may be illegal to ask your 16 year old ex-page to wax your jimmy, it's not illegal for said page to wax said jimmy.

I hope everyone's enjoying the new all-Foley-all-the-time format of Superelectric.

I wait with baited breath for each new Foley post.
