That’s a hell of a big strawman you’ve erected there, and I have a match...
The boy was one of the kids himself when the diddling took place.
What did you do when you were a kid? I’m sure we can find plenty of cause to put you away for life; are you ready to fess-up?

I’m sorry. Did I hurt your feelings by saying so?
Most molestation, especially the kind that never comes to light and gets addressed and dealt with, happens at the hands of mommy’s new boyfriend. The moms often deny it, or ignore and tolerate it.
And womanizing men are often the cause of mommy being divorced or otherwise with kids with no father in their lives. So, quite often, adultery directly leads to molestation and sexual assault of children.
So you want to explore whether sexual assault of a child is better, worse or equivalent to adultery? I think worse.
Either way, God said in both the Old and New Testaments that adultery deserves the death penalty, the same penalty that God says this incestuous assault deserves.
You may think “consenting adults” is a reasonable moral standard for society to follow, but God has made it clear that “adulterers and whore-mongers” He will judge.
