I'm looking at it from my own perspective as someone who was once 13. When I was that age, I was ready for a sexual relationship. If an attractive adult woman had shown any interest in me, I would happily have made a move of my own. Had a sexual relationship resulted from it, would I have felt like a rape victim? No. Would I have been abused? Certainly not. Should the woman have been punished? I can't see why. Could I have been coerced? Not one bit, as I was mature enough to make my own decisions. In essence, I was every bit as ready for a relationship at 13 as I was at 18.
Your comment about me not having children is irrelevant because the decision to become sexually active is entirely personal. As much as I would like my future children to wait until their early 20's to have sex, I know that they could very well decide to start at 14 -- and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.
I saw Villi (or whatever his name is) on the Today Show and he seemed like an average Pacific Islander to me. He doen't look traumatized or scarred by the experience.
