I see a difference between a 45 year old videotaping a 15 year old and a 16 or 17 year old doing the same. Do you?

The issue is the victim's age, not the perp's age.

Really? Because if two high school kids have sex and during the course of the relationship one turns sixteen you want to prosecute him or her for rape? I'm not sure I follow. The whole idea of statutory rape is an implicit power dynamic -- I'm not sure I see that in this or similar cases.
