Do you include high school seniors who have sex with their sophomore girlfriends as child molesters? Because the state does.

Change the law -- if it overlaps what you and I recognize as "child molestation".

Don't let the real molesters off the hook because the law doesn't recognize that older teenagers screw jailbait. Change the law to accommodate the reality of being a teenager, and nail the real molesters to the wall with an improved law.

Or their senior girlfriends, if they are under 18. A boy could have sex on his 18th birthday with his girlfriend who was born the day after him, and be a child molester in some states. Or vice versa, for that matter. I don't think there is much support for a death penalty in such a case.

I am all in favor of hanging true child molesters, but by that I mean adults who have sex with pre-pubescent children.
