The current political climate of pedophilia being completely unnaceptable is recent. As little as 100 years ago, there was no crime in sex with 12 year olds. Different eras and peoples have different attitudes towards this. In Roman times, for instance, sex with little boys was completely normal and expected. Today we concoct scientific justifications for the belief that sex with children is harmful to them, but there's little evidence of this. In fact Kinsey largely refuted the idea decades ago and there's almost no study of it today. It's taken as gospel truth. To be sure, forcing anyone into sexual relations is harmful, but to assume that all sex with children is, by nature, forced is so incorrect as to be completely divorced from reality.
