"Pedophelia even if it is overtly un-coerced, represents manipulation, a violation of trust, and an abuse of power to gratify ones own lust at the expense of another human being"

When this is the case, it is definitely wrong. Different legal forums have different "legal" ages. But being "legal" does not equate with being "right". All 16 year olds are different; all 14 year olds are different.

Apparently it was not wrong for the Greeks and Romans. From what I have read, it was usually simply a way to xchange feelings of "love" and affirmation outside of the paradigm of force and coercion as is the modern method. I had some old links on this, if you will give me a couple of days to find them...
