Walker reportedly dated his girlfriend Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell for seven years. Walker was 40 at the time of his death, and Pilchard-Gosnell is now reportedly 23. This means she was 16 and he 33 when they met.
so the media and everyone else sat on this for 7 years and until the guy gets killed in an RTA before they bring this to light.
nothing like the press to pi$$ all over someone when they're barely cold and have just been planted.
sells papers i guess.
at the end of the day , the girl's parents were happy with the relationship. personally i would have had something to say if my daughter brought home someone twice her age regardless of who they were....but that's my opinion. i'd have kicked the face off the guy for being a perv.
in the US it depends what state you live in because laws differ from state to state.
for instance...
New Hampshire
- The law is complicated in New Hampshire. Individuals under the age of 18 may not marry in New Hampshire without parental approval and a judicial waiver. Brides must be at least 13 years of age and grooms must be at least 14 years of age before their parents can apply for a judicial waiver.
