It’s also implied that she engages in statutory rape.

She’s unaware of Josh’s real age though, so I don’t know the legal or moral implications.

    Moral implications don’t exist for her. She saw a fully adult male.

    Legal implications don’t exist, because no law on the books takes into account the concept of a child inhabiting an adults body.

    Josh on the other hand…

      Solid assessment.

      I think the closest legal grounds we have would be when an adult that has the mental capacity of a child is the victim. Of course this isn’t the same scenario, and all tangible evidence is lost when Josh returned to his normal body.

        Any questionable acts would happen after the movie’s end. My thoughts have always been what the effects were to Susan once she saw he was telling the truth. We don’t even really get that short of the look of amazement, and maybe shock on her face.

          I’d imagine she would be the one feeling violated here.
