Laws about sex with minors exist to protect children. We can debate about what age a minor should be, but once society collectively comes to a reasonable consensus, then the law (and punishments) need to be enforced. Sexual abuse (and inappropriate relationships between teachers and students are already out of control). The consequences need to be severe. Some boys might not be affected as much as others in some negative psychological way, but that is beside the point. It’s about maintaining healthy relationships between adults and minors.

If it were my 16 yr old son a 45 yr old ugly old woman went after you better believe I’d want the book thrown at her!
