I can't speak for other anons, but some verses from the Sanhedrin are quite strange, so I think that's what he's talking about.
is this just some weird way to tell stories? like morality plays? isn't Sanhedrin part of the Talmud?
and maybe I missed it, since I was raised Catholic-not proficient in the Bible- but I don't remember talking about children and 'intercourse' in catechism class...
really is a creepy verse:(

"The Gemara asks: With regard to what principle do Rav and Shmuel disagree?
The Gemara answers: Rav holds that any halakha that applies to one who engages in intercourse actively applies to one who engages in intercourse passively,
and any halakha that does not apply to one who engages in intercourse actively does not apply to one who engages in intercourse passively.
Therefore, just as one who engages in intercourse actively is not liable if he is less than nine years old,
as the intercourse of such a child does not have the halakhic status of intercourse,
so too, if a child who is less than nine years old engages in homosexual intercourse passively,
the one who engages in intercourse with him is not liable. 22" ושמואל

really is an odd verse for people who aren't familiar with this type of writing.
