I'm saying that while that may be true, cher, and while she may be a harmful predator, I have trouble accepting that he was not a willing participant. A fourteen year old's hormones are raging. And the male physiology being what it is, it is tougher to force sex on a male than on a female......if he is scared, nervous, reluctant, etc. he wouldn't be able to raise a smile much less anything else......

I'm noting that being physiologically aroused is a significant source guilt for many victims...Also, physical force is not always used in sexual assaults, particularly with children. Grooming is a shockingly effective process. [/rant...I think]

I'm also noting that I don't know what it's like to be 14 year old boy with raging hormones.
