[Anton.Rutter]

We should expect 16 year olds to behave more as adults than children. A 16 year old is more like an 18 year old than like a child.

And a thirteen year old is more like a sixteen year old ("adult", to you) than a ten year old. And so pedophilia is made reasonable in twisted minds.

Before painting the 16yo victim as the responsible adult here, how about a thought for the responsibility of the predator. Or are we changing the goalposts on what constitutes rape as well?

I think that we ALL might change our tune if we’ve ever experienced a sexually active 16 year old set their eyes on us!

Knee jerk much?
