That's the whole point of Lolita; the precious little fourteen year old was more the aggressor than Humbert Humbert. She's taken the whole thing more or less in stride.

However, Reese seemed awfully casual about the prospect of a 14 year old getting pregnant. I sorry, but getting a 14 year old pregnant is not something that I'm comfortable with, and a 27 year-old man who takes advantage of a 14 year old is still a creep imo.

In general, it's probably not the best thing, but my point is that not everyone is Harvard-bound and that relations between older people and younger ones is not categorically wrong but depends the level of consent in the relationship. You have right to your opinion but I don't think in this particular case the 14 year old was taken advantage of.
