What procedures do they follow when someone breaks the rules? Let's say a 45-year-old man has sex with an 18-year-old girl/woman in TF. Maybe her parents complain or she turns up pregnant and he's currently has a wife and already has 12 kids strung out around the planet. Although she's no longer a minor, both the man & the girl have broken the 7-year rule. Do both get ex-com'd?
What if this is the third or fourth "just barely legal" girl this guy has hit on? To whom does the girl or her parents complain? What if the man involved is a VS, a CRO, or somewhere else high up in the leadership chain of command? If the girl is living in a country with paternity support laws (e.g., the US, Canada or BG), can she take this guy to court and get child support? Should she expect TF to support her & the child, or will she have to leave TF and file suit to get child support from the father? Will TF leadership protect the father by letting him hole up in a "selah" Home because he's too important to the Family's mission to sacrifice to the "anti-Christ" court system?
