Would you really have any basis to press charges in any other circumstance than rape or assault?

I jive with your sentiment, but doesn't the 18 thing seem kind of . . . arbitrary? What's the difference between 17 and 18? I realize that's a somewhat derivative argument, but nothing really changes on the 18th birthday - so the "hands off until she's legal" makes sense legally, but not when combined with "you have no business with a 17 year old."
I guess, more simply, this would really also mean a 23 year old would have no business with an 18 year old - right?
