New documentary reveals boyband 98 Degrees’ had age-of-consent manual while touring in 90s

Label tried to keep band members out of trouble during first tour, Nick Lachey says in Boy Band Confidential

As they embarked on their first tour and their record label tried to limit their potential for legal issues, members of the 1990s US boyband 98 Degrees were equipped with a handbook listing the age at which people across the nation can lawfully consent to sex , the group's lead singer, Nick Lachey, reveals in a new documentary.

This is going to sound super shady, but ... I remember our first tour, someone at the label gave us a book, and it was the age of consent in every state in the country," Lachey says in Boy Band Confidential, which is premiering on Monday at 9pm ET on the cable network Investigation Discovery. And like, we kept that book on the tour bus."
