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.

If you believe that at 13 years old you were mentally prepared to make such decisions, then you are probably still very young. Granted, you may not have been traumatized, but you were still a CHILD.

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.

Of course children will decide to do what they want, when they want. And, if my child has sex at a young age with someone else of a young age, then I won't have to kill anybody. But she was in her 30's with children near his age. Whether he knew better or not....SHE should have known better
