Are you looking for Second degree vs. First degree?

Looking at Second degree vs. First degree. Just doesn't sound like the 13 year old had sex against her will.
It's a given that he's a pervert, but that doesn't make her any less of a tart.

True, but she is a 13 year old tart, while he will be a 37 year old sex offender.

Could 2nd degree versus 1st degree have to do with brutality/injuries?

Thanks.
It means, that a 37 year old man is alleged to have had un-consentual vaginal intercourse with a 13 year old Victim. The victim, due to her age, is unable to consent to sex with the person due to her age.

Sometimes the distinction has to do with consent, sometimes it has to do with the use or display of a weapon, sometimes it has to do with injuring someone, sometimes it has to do with threatening someone (with various things), sometimes it has to do with someone abetting the crime, sometimes it has to do with the rape occurring in connection with a burglary. There are a lot of factors that can make a rape first degree.

You might want to stick with claiming women are physically incapable of Rape. In Maryland, if a girl is under 16 she can consent to sex if her partner is less than 4 years her age.
In this case, it may have been consentual on her part, but his age was greater than 4 years.
It's not just consent, it's the use of force or threat of force. The age of consent in Maryland is 16, however a fifteen year old could have consentual sex with an eighteen year old if they were three years apart. A person could be four years older than a 15 year old, but still not 21, and the crime would be a misdemeanor. It becomes a felony when the person is over 21 and the person is under 16, or the person is over 18 and the victim is under 14.
You are correct in that there are several factors which could lead to the difference in charges.
Second degree still means he forced her, as far as I'm aware. It just means he had no weapon and didn't beat her up in the process. I think.
It is true that a girl could consent to sex with a person if they are four or less years younger than them, but a fifteen year old could consent to having sex with a nineteen year old, as long as he was not four or more years older than her.

I wasnt directly addressing the 13 year old with the 37 year old, i was responding to Eddy's comment that a 13 year old can not consent to sex due to her age.
