Personally, I still feel it's "worse" for an adult to have sexual relations with a teenager than two teenagers exploring sex. (I actually met and spoke to a 42-year-old woman who was put on the sex offender list for having sex with a 14-year-old boy. Her attempts to justify what she did rang very hollow. She ''knew'' he was 4 years underage and still engaged in sex with him.) However, to paraphrase the late George Orwell, all 14-year-olds are equal but some of them are more equal than others. Some 14-year-olds know exactly what they're doing,and are not forced into having sex with adults: they choose to do so. Some, on the other hand, have been groomed to be victims and aren't aware of what's happening. | Personally, I still feel it's "worse" for an adult to have sexual relations with a teenager than two teenagers exploring sex.

| + | Yes, I understand that it gets tricky, since honestly, you really do not want the law being completely case by case.
