I think a window system makes sense. If you’re 19 and your sweetheart you’ve been dating is 17, that’s a lot different than a 25 year old and a 17 year old I think.
I guess it’d make sense to base it on brain development.
I have no idea what the best windows would be to promote the greatest reduction in false positive rape cases.
The biggest thing we as a society really need is a culture where the raped feel more comfortable speaking up. It’d probably be a decent thing to fund testing the massive backlog of rape kits piling up at the nation’s police forces as well.
No solution will ever be perfect so you can only attempt to do the least harm and help the most people in these awful situations.
Improving sexual education across some of our more religiously oriented states would be a positive as well.
Hopefully we keep moving forward. And what would be really nice is if some of these awful people Epstein trafficked these girls to went to prison.
It’s high time the rich and powerful started being held accountable for their absolutely atrocious behavior, whether it’s selling enough oxycontin to hook huge swathes of the population on heroin (the Sacklers certainly seem to be getting a better treatment than your average crack dealer), raping underage sex slaves, or leaking hundreds of millions of Americans social security numbers the rich and powerful seem to laugh and shrug it off.
That’s gotta stop.

Specifically, age of consent is 16, but "a 14 or 15 year old can consent to sexual activity as long as the partner is less than five years older and there is no relationship of trust, authority or dependency or any other exploitation of the young person." https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/clp/faq.html https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/clp/faq.html
