I see that you feel strongly about this. I simply don't see a brite line drawn at age 18.

Karen, where are you coming from?

Perhaps part of our disagreement is that I had in mind age eighteen. When I was eighteen, that was the age of demarcation. Not being a pedophile, I have had no reason to notice that California and perhaps other states have established lower ages for victims and higher ages for perps. I didn't know that until I saw your post. Statutory rape when I was a girl was, typically, sex after the prom between a girl who was a 17 year old high school senior and her boyfriend who was 18 or 19 and a freshman in college. I'm not talking about children. My Cannery Girl was a sixteen year old. The state of California and I are not that far apart.
