A fifteen year old does not, under most circumstances, have enough discernment to know whether something is good or bad for him/herself. (And today, we are more immature than our ancestors were at 15, 200 years ago. The more developed human mind becomes, the more time it takes.) The act may have warped ideas about sex in the girl's mind for the rest of her life, or she may have contracted a disease (a 15 year old would not really have any ideas about the risks of STDs and protection.) She may get pregnant, and 15 is not old enough to deal with that. Or he may not have harmed her at all. But the point is, we do not know. And if we allow one single incident, then we have to allow it all, and that would definitely end up hurting some child somewhere. So we have to draw the line somewhere. I think that is the logic behind this. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
