In my country once you get legal consent (>= 16) it's over,
there's no discussion on age gaps.
The only similar case (not stated by law) would be a judge itself noticing
that a 15-19 yo relationship is not that far-fetched and thus the 19yo it's
cleared of all charges in a potential case, as it happened in Spain where
a 19yo close to maturity to 15yo girl got all charges dropped;
*but* his 24yo friends doing the same got straight jail time.

In my country the legal age of consent used to be 13 a few
years ago, until 2015 if I can recall it well.
Are you telling me that a good chunk of Spaniards were
pedophiles? Or maybe the age relationship worked between
normal gaps and people over 17-18 with 13yo where just
an anechdotical exception, too small to even show in a chart?
RMS' intent was not to support pedophilia, but an intelligent
law system for consent.

@report_press Sorry I don't support FUD.
On the first point, he acknowledged in further comments
that he was utterly wrong and apologized.

So, please, stop spreading libel. As a warning.
