If in one scenario, an adult man had sexual relations with a 15-year-old, but she was a "willing participant" in the act who did the encouraging and had a friendly relationship with the man. In scenario two, I man forces a 15-year-old to have sex with him, holds her down against her will.
In both scenarios, statutory rape was committed. In the latter scenario, statutory + forcible rape was committed. Do you distinguish between the two, with the latter instance being more severe than the other? Or do you do lump them as equal crimes?
I bring this up because people tend to get outraged when the media like Hannity uses the word "consent" in relation to Roy Moore. Many get the wrong idea when you use words like "consent" because it has taken on a whole new legal meaning. But he wasn't excusing the crime, he was asking whether she was a willing participant as in a relationship or was she violently forced.
Now I do agree there's a certain age limit where all forms of statutory rape should also be treated as forcible rape. But for a post-pubescent teenager, there is a distinction there, and there should be a harsher penalty for those who committed forcible rape. Committing a sex act with a teen minor who's willing and forcibly/violently raping a teen minor are not equal, and the latter should get a harsher penalty.
Consensus is not a fact-based exercise.
You're tied and bound to this self-indulgent enterprise. -
