It's not so much as me not agreeing with it, just that it's...well, not exactly a good thing that some poor teenager is suffering because of some sexual predator. I'd have thought that was obvious.

As for the 'abused more than used' part, well..do you have any proof of that? I mean, you say 'from what I can see', but you don't cite any sort of crime statistics or anything like that, since remember what you see in the media or whatever is just sensationalised reports designed to sell/popularise the media service, usually warped with a bias of some form or another, so it probably distorts the truth.


That said, I don't think there should be legal repercussions for minors having sex with minors.
