We make the law about age so there is a clear distinction between adult and child. We lay the blame entirely on the adult when said trust is violated, and we should.

I was simply stating he was lucky, in his situation, that he was willing and mature enough to want to be a participant. He never should have been placed in the situation.

As for innocence, the dude has a 11 year old daughter himself, you do the math.

My first was someone close to my age, only a little older. My second broke the law. It definitely wasn't her fault, I pursued it for two years straight before getting what I was after. She was under 20 but no where near legal.

There is a big difference between someone who knows what they are after and someone who doesnt.

Wow. You honestly think a 12 yr old can be " willing and mature enough to want to be a participant" when it comes to having sex with an adult? Are you serious? Just because it feels good physically to a child victim of a sexual assault does not make them any less than of a victim. It still damages the child even if they don't realize it until much later down the road.

Darth, I'm saying violating the trust between an adult and child is the most horrible thing that can occur on the planet. It has far reaching effects, way beyond any sort of sexual issues. Entire lives can be lost because of a single instance of molestation.

I also refuse to define things entirely in black and white. In my own experiences at that age, and the experience of others... I wasn't turning down a sexy little goth 19 year old when I wasn't even out of middle school yet.

There is a gray area. That is all.

Touché on spinning it around to where it looks like I'm supporting the pedo rather than you.
