Jail Bait: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'', the two protagonists are both 14 years old. However, the story makes it ''reeeeeeeeeal'' easy to forget that fact. Besides almost being raped at one point, the female lead is constantly seen in a bra and panties (or less), chapter 52 {{spoiler|showcases the two of them having sex, complete with fully-exposed breasts.}} A case of [[Values Dissonance]] since the age of consent in Japan is 13.

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' features Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami, both of whom are 14 and who are repeatedly depicted sans clothes or in suggestive poses. As with the above example, it is a case of values dissonance.

* ''[[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water|Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]''{{'}}s]] titular character is yet another 14 -year -old, who spends the majority of her screentime in a [[Stripperific|stripperiffic]] circus costume and is depicted as quite nubile, despite her age. This is often used for [[Fan Service|fanservice,]]; at one point, spendingshe spent almost two full episodes nude.

** There's a history behind this; [[Traci Lords]] broke into porn [[Really Seventeen Years Old|at age sixteen, using fake ID]]; as soon as [[Younger Than They Look|the deception]] was spotted, every copy of almost every film in which she had ever appeared became very illegal to possess, let alone sell, and had to be destroyed. She went on to [[No Such Thing as Bad Publicity|become somewhat-known]] as a mainstream actor (in a rare crossover) and singer but [[Never Live It Down/Real Life|never lived this down]].

* In the movie ''[[Lifeguard]]'', the chief lifeguard warns his assistant that having sex with an underage girl — even if she's willing — is a crime. Then he goes ahead and has sex with one anyway after warning the trainee that it's a bad idea.

* MTV had a TV movie about this named after the trope. The reason why it's notable is that the titular jailbait later became the Pink Ranger on ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]''.

* The song ''"Jailbait''" by [[Motorhead]] is about underage groupies who show up at the band's shows.

* ''"Christine Sixteen''" by [[Kiss]] is about an older man who becomes infatuated with a sixteen year old girl. Because of the controversial subject matter many radio stations refused to play the song when it was released in 1977.

* [[Winger|Winger's]] most popular song, ''"Seventeen''", is about a man who meets a woman he is intensely attracted to, and his surprise when she tells him "I'm only seventeen."

* [[Joan Jett]], anyone? In her signature song, ''"I Love Rock and Roll",'' she declares "I knew he musta been about seventeen." Joan was 21 when she first covered the song on a recording.

* In one early story arc of ''[[Least I Could Do]]'', Rayne met a girl in a bar, and slept with her, not unreasonably assuming that she was over 18. However, she was actually 16 and still in high school. Rayne was arrested but eventually acquitted as there was no way he could have known she was under age, since 16 year old high school students aren't supposed to hang around in bars. Rayne them asked if this meant [[Comically Missing the Point|he could legally sleep with sixteen -year -olds if he met them in bars]], causing John and his lawyer to drag him out of the courtroom.
