The whole point of statutory rape laws is that the minor is unable to give informed consent because of their age.

I covered that:

I just have different views, since statutory rape is done with consent, without any force or coercion and she was 17, that's not a huge problem to me, even if it was against the law.

The whole point of why it is called statutory is because there is consent, no force, no coercion, which is important because otherwise it is real rape, not statutory, and real rape happens a lot with minors. And real rape leaves heavy duty scars, if they live.

I have a male friend who told me about being raped when he was young. And how the person who raped him later murdered a babysitter after he raped her. Real rape, real coercion, real force, real murder.
