Comment on The news is sugarcoating how revolting the Epstein files are

There definitely is such a thing as sex with a child. At least if you count teenagers as children.

If you are within the bounds of the standard creepiness rule, don’t have a position of power and if all parties consent, it’s definitely sex. And that’s not uncommon. Even if many people would like to pretend it is.

Also, if a teenager convincingly lies about their age, I wouldn’t call it rape either.

Minor’s can not consent legally.

  The logic is they can’t consent practically either. It snot just the law. A kid doesn’t have all the tools to consider the consequences of their actions, without them there can be no consent. Same reason you can’t consent if you’re wasted.

You’ve spent a lot of effort carving out a gray area in which you can justify raping children.
