Just because it is more likely that a female will consider a molestation by an older man as a crime rather than a "lucky occurence" does not mean we should punish it differently than if the sex roles were reversed and it was a young boy instead. The entire point of age of consent laws is that children that young CAN'T or aren't mature enough to decide. There's no reason to let a person off the hook just because they chose a male victim instead of a female. I think it's a mistake to brush off the fact that a male can be just as psychological and physically damaged by such an encounter as a female.
