So the only way to go after these sleazies is to enforce laws against underage what? co-habitation? Statutory rape? Sounds like the only way is the statutory rape charges. And if the women do not want to press charges then what?
Then Muslims can legally live with as many wives as they want. The only negative is they cannot claim Social Security and other govt bennies for all wives/kids like they can in the UK.
I do not have problems with the statutory rape charge for any minor with varying degrees of punishment based upon the age of the minor and possible consent.
For example, if the victim (male or female) is less than 12 / 13 / 14 (pick your age), then no consent can be given and it is automatically forcible rape which should carry a heavier penalty.
If the victim is between the age above and 18 then the charge should be of a lesser rape unless otherwise (via threat, force, drugs, etc) it qualifies for forcible rape. If consent can be shown, then punishment should be reduced to a lessor sentence. Thus operating under the premise that even though a 16 or 17 year old my willing have sex, they are not mature enough to give such consent.

Statutory rape is considered an offense against the state: the victim need not press charges to prosecute the offender.
