> > And besides, okay, an 18 year old, for hookups that's fine up to age 25 in my book. 30 is also fine in most of Europe's moral view, in France they'd probably accept 35. But ffs. Gates was around 58 back at the time. That's far too old to hang out with 18 year olds, much less having sex with them.

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.

It's not the law. As a matter of fact there are special provision to lower the age of consent if some conditions apply, although this is not one of them.

How about we right all the wrongs that stemmed from violating laws (as there is plenty of work to be done there) before we try to pass personal opinions as laws

Indeed. But some common fucking sense would have prevented everyone in the Epstein Files to be named in these. Like, it's bad enough if you notice that someone is hooking up with questionably legal women or girls and don't say anything... but it's even worse to actively participate.

"I thought they were 18" is not a good defense and people have gone to jail despite claiming that.
