The laws are in place partially because of the high risk that any child will be permanently damaged by this type of sexual abuse. And that is but one of the legitimate reasons why there are laws in place making this act illegal. I agree. I said some time back that many, perhaps most, children would be damaged under those circumstances. But that doesn't say that this particular boy was. As I said, he may have been, he may not have been. I don't know. I don't think you know for certain. Do you? Sure, there's a high risk. And so we prohibit him from that activity even if he could be one of the few to not get damaged. I don't see that we have any disagreement.
