And there's a difference between that and "I know it's jail bait but imma hit it anyway I'm 20 and horny and she's into me" and someone who targets toddlers.
Both are bad. One is a predator. The other is an idiot who can hopefully learn from the error of his ways.
On 1 end or the other its still sex crimes against children, and the hair splitting you use is what they will use to avoid punishments, slippery slope. Look at the "trans" people going to female prisons...
I get where you're coming from, I really do mate. In my worldview it's one of things that rarely requires any hair splitting, but with some situations it can matter. I'm certainly not suggesting evey person accused or charged of a sex crime needs to be screened for intent and competence. That would be silly. It should be possible to have edge cases without a slippery slope. I know it's not always possible.
Yeah see that's not ok.
