Another poster unable to differentiate between consent between adults and lack of consent due to age.
Yes, any sexual contact between a 15 year old and an 18 year old can get you five years in my state.
i don't believe that is pedophilia. that is statutory rape. i understand pedophilia to be the act or desire to act with someone under the age of...have to look it up...11 (thought it was 10).
in most societies, current and historical, sex with children under 11 was/is very taboo. in the past boys usually became men at around 13 and women about the same depending on their first "moon".
as to pedophilia being an orientation, that is absurd. why don't we call murder an orientation? is that a slippery slope argument? nope. both acts are repulsive to the vast majority of society.
