I prefer to err on the side of not locking people up when it comes to consensual sex.I would prefer that kids be allowed to grow up and become adults before adults think they are fair game. The fact that you do not says everything about you.
Do you think we should raise aoc to 18 everywhere? Or maybe 21? Or even 25, because that's when brains supposedly mature?
And how would you deal with young people lying about their age and even having fake ids?
If a young man meets a young woman at a party and she tells him she is 18 or 19 but turns out to be 16, do you really think he should go to prison for a felony charge and have to register as a "sex offender"? I definitely do not.
