This needs to be a pretty solid fact before states go making different age of consents (which should be universal IMO). Sure it's pretty creepy for a 40 year old to sleep with a 15 year old but if it was consenual, and it's proven that at whatever age, sexual development is there is it really a crime? I guess that's not really up to me.

I agree that this issue should be further examined and examined outside of the realm of child molestation. There is SO much of this going on that it muddles our determination of what a child molester is - both in the justice system and in the public eye.
