The story seems to be moving toward a conflict between Bree's parents and her friend Daniel regarding her virginity. However, it didn't occur to me until today that unless the creators of LG15 are ready to face a tremendous legal battle, they cannot even suggest that an underage girl has had sexual intercourse.
Even though the Supreme Court has struck down the 1996 ban, few are willing to stand up for free speech. |

| I don't see why not. All the shows aimed at kids and teenagers are full of sex, what's different about this one? |

Yeah, that confuses me too.
You can definitely do that in fiction... and since all the actors are over the age of 18, there aren't any legal issues at all.
...but I still don't think it will happen.

Underage girls certainly don't have sex. I have personally never seen pregnant sixth graders. I don't know what sort of lies the WB (or, I suppose, CW) has been feeding you.
And it is totally legal to portray through text underage people having sex, or else many publishing houses would go out of business and Lolita would never be read again. It is not always tasteful, but it is totally legal.

The portions of the CDA of 1996 that limited free speech were overturned by the supreme court years ago.
There are no legal issues here.

Yeah, I was actually being a little sarcastic. |

Sacrasm doesn't work really well over the net.
And actors who are underage can't do porn.
It's completely legal to have a plotline in which a minor has sex. It's pretty common actually.
Hello WB / UPN. |

umm, I think your original post would have been more accurate if you wrote...

A lot of this is all purely speculation. You state it as fact. However, there's very very little in the movies that suggests her virginity is a factor. |

Agreed. Bree didn't really seem to like kissing Daniel. She might just be going along with this whole kinda-relationship cause he's her only friend and she's afraid to lose him if she turns him down.
Maybe she's got a crush on Cassie  |

Actually, it is quite often in my area that sixth graders and up are getting pregnant. These are no lies as more and more girls are being influenced by their friends and boyfriends to have sexual intercourse at such a young age. |

Um... yes. That was my sarcasm. I have taught in middle schools and they are far more sexual than I am even now. It is horrifying.
But, to bring it back to topic, would be completely legal to discuss and portray artistically. Just, you know, not graphically. No one needs that.
I hope.

| Well, Daniel having sex with Bree would be statutory rape. |
