Minor Report - This Salon article takes on the child abuse argument, speculating that some older, post-adolescent male minors might be willing participants in sexual activities with men who have reached the age of majority. Some relevant points are made, but it's such a touchy (no pun intended) subject to tackle. People in positions of authority, taking advantage of the power they hold over others is a very different scenario than a younger person intentionally seducing an older person. However, it's all about context and perception, and so I can support the argument for taking drastic steps to provide for the safety of all children.
