"Because the overt act with respect to Annie is, she's saying she's under the age of 18, but the age of consent there is 16"Source
"I don't think that should be in there at all because that invites them to base an overt act and convict the defendant based on Kate's testimony, which the Court has already instructed that the jury can't."Source
"Insofar as we're no longer following the exact text of the indictment, the government would be fine with deleting the overt act relevant to Kate"Source
