I just realized the faulty premise in your “In case you are otherwise unclear if one advocates overturning consent laws that protect children from pedophiles then you are supporting pedophilia. It is really that simple.”

There are lots of laws regarding pedophilia, but Chester the Molester still exists.

What does this tell us about the efficacy of those laws?

My question regarding what should comes after the present failure mode set of laws is hardly a red herring.

The present system is in failure mode. What next?

According to your new principle any law that does not result in 100% compliance should result in the laws being overturned and news laws being put in their place. Laws are not created to remove the evil from people hearts but to punish those that refuse obey the law. There is no need to replace any laws in this particular case but to start applying the law.
