I'm just wondering if we can get into trouble for having unverified minors in our mature groups.

Here's the thing: while a group can be used for Mature purposes, the broadly-visible content of the group, such as its insignia and charter, must be PG. As in the Community Standards:

From: someone
Global Standards, Local Ratings
All areas of Second Life, including the www.secondlife.com website and the Second Life Forums, adhere to the same Community Standards. Locations within Second Life are noted as Safe or Unsafe and rated Mature (M) or non-Mature (PG), and behavior must conform to the local ratings. Any unrated area of Second Life or the Second Life website should be considered non-Mature (PG).

So, I wouldn't worry about getting into trouble on the basis of group content. You *can* get into trouble for having Mature content in a group's display.

And I would also be certain to report an admitted unverified minor via Help menu > Report Abuse so they'll be transferred to Teen Grid as they should. :)
