Excellant post. Where are the studies from the child's perspective that there is no harm? Interviews of victims that I've seen show distress at being fondled to say nothing of being penetrated. I would also question the effects of the difference in sex drive between adult and child. The thought of using a child for one's sexual gratification who would rather be outside and riding bikes with his peers is super creepy. Theft and burglary don't result in much harm when you come to think of it since material goods can be replaced. Should we decriminalize those offenses?
