You need to get your head out of the sand. And you are wrong about the age of those kids he preyed on. They were boys. They were not old enough to give legal consent. I have witnessed first hand what effect a child molester has on his victims. Someone I love dearly was molested thirty years ago, and she is still affected by what was done to her. She has never let it rule her life and the advantage she had over these boys is that she came from a loving home with two parents and siblings who love her. These boys didn't have that.
