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

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.

Yeah, that's the definition of child molestation that makes sense to me. Not this high school kids messing around with each other madness that we've recently criminalized as a society.

We're going to ruin those kids' lives with a sex offender label. We need to use some common sense with these punishments.
