Line 53:
* In one episode of ''[[NCIS]]'', one particularly [[Jerkass]] suspect alibied out of the [[Body of the Week|Murder of the Week]] because he was having sex with a senator's seventeen-year-old daughter at the time. Ziva promptly (and rather smugly) arrested him for statutory rape.
* British police drama ''[[The Bill]]'' had an interesting example. A drunken man picked up a very willing female partner in an adult nightclub and ended up bedding her. Some months later this girl's mother found out about it and reported them to the police since her daughter was under the age of consent (16 in the UK). The police established that the fourteen year old had deliberately used clothes and make up to make herself look older than she really was, and persuaded the male to confess, reasoning that he had been careless but that it wasn't really in the public interest to prosecute him so he would be given a slap on the wrist and let go. Then it transpired that the girl's birthday was incorrect due to adoption or some other reason, so she was actually thirteen. Except that a few months ago when the incident took place she was twelve, thus meriting a statutory rape charge. That the unwitting guy had just confessed to. Oops.
* ''[[Married... with Children]]'':
** One episode had Bud's - admittedly hot - teacher coming onto him; proving this is a line he won't cross, Al actually delayed his plans to [[It Makes Sense In Context|crash a kid's party]] in order to try to talk him out of it, and later called the police on her. Unfortunately, it led to [[Mistaken Identity| the wrong teacher being arrested.]]
** There was an unsuccessful [[Spin-Off]] of the show called ''[[Top of the Heap]]'' <ref>It only lasted seven episodes, but that was still longer than the other two attempts at spin-offs for the show.</ref> In the first episode, an attractive teenaged girl tries to seduce the male protagonist; he suggests she come back "when you're not a felony."
