When that 14 year old dresses and acts indistinguishably from an 18 year old slut - or a 24 year old slut for that matter - and fools a drunken college boy at a party, you want the state to kill him?
I am not a policy / legislating genius. I would like the law (if I were Queen) to make death penalty for anyone sexually abusing a young child. However, the cases would be difficult. Imagine a babysitter accused of molesting a child in the bath, but it's hearsay with no scars on the child. You wouldn't get far prosecuting that, either.
And if we say that we would not want anyone 12 and under molested, I believe we are encouraging the pedophiles who prey on young teens. That upsets me greatly. Especially a perv who has molested more than one teen. I'd like to see strong penalties for statutory rape; maybe short of death unless multiple kids are involved?
