She was in the club, drinking alcohol with him, I assume she lied about her age but Giddey should have been more careful.

How do you be more careful when someone lies about their age?

practically, not much, but its still your responsibility. Just kinda how society is right now.

Right like when it comes to the law, he's still fucked but like I really come up with an absolute 0 on what he could of done. It sounds like you might have an idea cause you said "not much" which isn't absolute 0?

I'm no expert but I've looked into it a bit.

A recent case (that ultimately hasn't gone anywhere) is that US Congressman Matt Gaetz was "alleged" to have had "relations" with a 17 year old minor, in a way that's essentially one of those pay-for-a-date/sugar daddy type scenarios (this was via Seeking Arrangemet). But, it happened because the minor directly lied about her age and told Gaetz she was 18. By all accounts Gaetz was horrified when he learned later on.

It's murky but one of the few absolutes is that Gaetz can be charged with sex trafficking of a minor even though she lied about her age, and even though he wouldn't have done anything if she hadn't lied.
