And your point?
I am sure in cave man days any age was okay
Does not make it okay
Just that before we go around denouncing other societies we might want to have some historical perspective on our own.
Were our ancestors of the 18th and 19th century all perverts and pedophiles?
I also think it is ludicrous to classify a 17 year old as a child in this context.
I am fine with the law and the charges, but we should recognize that the age is a legalism and doesn’t reflect any greater harm likely to the “victim” than if she were six months older.
Though you’d think the morons charged would know that and find someone a tad older to get perverted with.
