      Legally yea, of course. Do you also think forced rape is the same as consensual statutory rape? That’s the distinction.

        Done knowingly, statutory rape is rarely morally different than rape by force or drugs. Or child molestation.

          Can they consent to other 14 year olds?

          You’re deliberately using one definition of a word as it suits your argument

            Fourteen year olds can consent with other fourteen year olds because they’re similarly developed and there shouldn’t be a massive power indifference like there is between a fourteen year old and an adult rock star.

            But a fourteen year old can not consent to being raped by an adult.
