The law has to draw a line which determines at what age someone is capable of consent. That's where the notion of statutory rape comes from. If the only element is consent, without regard to competency, then all sex with children is legal, even if the 'consent' provided is the result of grooming or coercion on the part of the pedophile.

That's a well-greased slipperly slope you're riding.
