We have had two, if not three prominent cases in Oregon and Washington in the last couple of years involving adult female high school teachers and male, under 18 students. To presume that there is a massive number of unreported cases does not appear to have any support factually; however, to presume that these are the only cases is to engage in naivety.
And perhaps I am belaboring a point, but pedophilia is sexual relations with a pre-pubescent child. A more correct term (and there may be several) is ephebophilia.
Not sure why the thread has gone in the direction of child abuse, as I don’t see the laws changing due to court action. It is far more likely that the courts will continue to dismember the definition of marriage viz a viz polyamory.
