Then on the other side of the coin you have a 30 Year old who has the Matruity and mental capasity of a 13 year old (Special). That is phyiscly fully developed, do you beleive that this person can consent to the act of Sex. IMO this person is not ready.
What are your takes on these two posibilitys.

The first problem is that your first possibility is impossible from a medical standpoint. A thirteen year old could never have the mental capacity of a 30 year old, especially from an emotional point of view. There's no way that any thirteen year old could be wordly enough to deal with sex with an adult (predator), even if their body is mature.
The second problem is that someone who is "special" (as you put it) inside the parameters that you described would actually be very high functioning and could easily live on their own and hold a job. They would know right from wrong, be able for form emotional relationships and possess judgement skills. And at age 30, they should have enough life skills to deal with sex. People with this kind of developmental delay usually don't seem that unusual, although they are most likely doomed to low-paying jobs.
Sorry, I just don't see where the first possibility is even plausible enough to discuss, and the second one is so common that we know the outcome already.
