Here are the age of consent laws by state if you are interested. It's 17 in NY where I live, but they almost never prosecute at 16 if there was a lasting consensual relationship. In fact, that was one of the points of contention in the infamous Joey Buttafuco case. Amy was 16 and Joey was in his 30s when their affair started, but it was considered very unusual to prosecute because they had an ongoing consensual affair past 17. Make your own value judgement and do not assume to know mine. actwin.com For the record, when I used the term "confused", I was referring to "sexually confused" as in "am I gay, straight or bisexual" not confused as in "should I do this because he's an authority figure". I thought that should have been very clear from all my prior posts where I made the same point. A legally consenting person can be sure he's homosexual or not sure he's a homosexual, but I doubt the law distinguishes between the two as long it was consensual. Why would the law care if he was "sexually" confused? I don't know if there are any special applications of the law by age if the older person was a priest. Here are some more stats: religioustolerance.org
