My problem with this reasoning is that if it is a case of an older adult having sex with a young child (say 12 or under for example), the adult is completely taking advantage of the child and this i cannot tolerate. I don't believe there is a way a young child can consent. The child has no idea what it means to be that intimate with a person.
