“The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply,” Stephen Covey.
Legally consensual and realistically consensual are different things. Claiming all 14 years don't have the mental capacity to consent is naive; just as claiming that all 18 year olds do. Legally we need a line, of course, but trying to claim that because the law says she can't consent it means that in reality she can't, is a pedantic and short sighted argument.

I'm 35 myself, and can't fathom the degree of degeneration required for a man near my age to want to sleep with a girl he knows is still a minor.
Isn't that saying he lied to the father? Which obviously he would. I don't know how he could lie to the daughter, you can see from the picture he's not passing for anything under 30.
The fact that they continued the relationship obviously implies she's still participating.

So if you have consensual sex with a 16 year old girl in Massachusetts where the age is 16, then move to California where it's 18... were you retroactively sexually abusing her?
P.S. In the US the range is 16-18 generally, but many states have exceptions which Americans seem to refer to as "Romeo and Juliet laws" (based on a popular misconception about them) which can lower the age below that based on the age gap between participants.
If it was a woman there would have been no sentence...
Or maybe a few months probation.
If she got pregnant while raping a boy, he would have had to pay alimony too.

Did you not know that consensual sex can be turned into rape years later by a woman, if she wants...
Funny how that goes.
(oh and when you are both drunk it is always the male that raped the woman, not the other way around, just so we're clear)

No, because I would have committed the act while in Mass. duh.

He was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison. I would say it did not work for him. :P
You can disagree until your face turns red, not going to change what the law is. And why would degenerates set the law what you think is too high? If anything, they would want to lower it.
Pedophilia cuts off at 13.
Just to make this part a bit clear, what we looking at would be likely a case of Hebephilia. There's a difference, a significant one.
People wondering about the sentencing.
Yeah, well, understandable for one thing.. But then, on the other hand.
Rehabilitation is the primary goal in most modern countries, and I would think Canada being one of them.
We simply don't approach crimes with the mindset of retribution and incapacitating being the most important parts.
We instead try to correct the person that wronged, try to rehabilitate them to become normal members of the society again.
Against narrow minded belief, people do not repeat crimes if handled properly.
Locking someone up forever is the sure path to a lifelong career as criminal and a costly one for the society on top.
So, 4.5 years might sound low, but might just be enough to get the guy back on the right track. I assume he will receive psychological support as well while imprisoned.

Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
