A man cannot “have sex with a child.” A man can only rape a child. Because (to your point) a child is incapable of giving consent. What’s really wild is that parents in some states can legally consent to have their child raped, by consenting to marrying them off to pedophiles. And the child has no legal recourse.

Thanks for shining a bright light on this difficult and important topic. I’m so glad Michigan voters, Governor Whitmer and our Democrats in Michigan finally upped the legal marriage age from 16 to age to 18.
