They will either show he transported her "across state lines" to have sexual intercourse, in which case Federal laws apply (Hammond is pretty close to the Illinois border so that is quite possible).

If that fails, they will just get him on the "in loco parentis" clause.

To quote the conservative one:

Quote:

Jack Schaap, 55, pastor for 11 years at the First Baptist Church of Hammond, had pleaded guilty to a federal charge of transporting a minor across state lines with intent to engage in sexual activity, according to the U.S. Attorney's office for the northern district of Indiana.
