However, there is a BIG difference between 20+ year old White House interns and 16-17 year old Congressional pages. Not that I approved of Clinton's antics with Monica, but that wasn't statutory rape (not sure what DC's definition of statutory rape is, but certainly in a lot of states a significantly older man with a 16-17 year old qualifies).

The age of sexual consent for males in DC is 16. (It's 18 for females.)

And there's no age difference provision? Some states have laws that differentiate, so that a 19 year old with a 15 year old (who could be a fellow high school student, or was the previous year) wouldn't qualify as statutory rape, but an older man with a 15 year old girl would. That's a sensible approach IMO.
