There should be different categories of pedophilia charges. I can imagine there are plenty of girls under 18 that could pass for 18. I ran across a few of those myself in my time, look at Brooke Shields at 15. An 18 year old caught with Brooke Shield at 15 should not be treated like a gown man showering with a 6 year old. I realize some guys find out someone is underage, while shocked that does not deter them, those guys deserve to get in trouble.
If you had some guy who ends up picking up a minor with a false I.D. at a club, I don't think that guy should get hung out to dry for that. If two people are intoxicated, why does the guy still bear the brunt of the law. Personal experience, I never ended up going to pick up a minor whose number I got at a club, but I sure met a few and they appeared way different than I remember.
