But Russ, individual situations have to be considered, especially with laws that are supposed to regulate purely social relationships.
Its ok for OTW to have sex with a hot 16 year old, but not with a hot 15 year old the day before he turns 16.
Without a little more scrutiny and the consideration of mitigating factors you have laws that are being enforced in ways that the legislatures did not intend and that defy common sense.
Remember the case where the 18 year old was arrested and charged with statutory rape for having consensual sex with his 15 year old girlfriend that he was going to marry?
We need to stop tossing people in jail for many years just because we gasp in Politically Correct horror.

Part of me would like to see this guy castrated, but he should at least go to jail for far longer than 10 days. Besides, we all know that fellow inmates are kind to criminals who commit crimes against children.
