Someone before brought up the legal context again which opened up the can of worms. Though generally when it comes to sexual related crimes between adult and minor often times the actions of the minor are not really considered in the grand scope. Mainly is a byproduct of our overworked legal system and staff and general lack of understanding of the scope of non nurotypical interactions play out. That is also a issue with our society.
Nor should they be. A minor is a minor and under the law is a victim in sexual related crimes. It doesn't matter if the victim is a prostitute. He or she is a minor and more than likely in that instance is also a victim of trafficking. Adults know better and adults are the ones who use weasel words and phrases and what ifs to try and get out of trouble when they get caught doing something with a minor that is illegal.

And while I get where you are trying to go with the non-neurotypical adult - that's still not going to fly if the non-neurotypical adult can handle day to day things for themselves and know right from wrong. (I have non-neurotypical family members - I know how this works.) Besides that, if the minor is a victim - I promise you it doesn't matter to that minor of the adult was a non-neurotypical adult or a neurotypical adult - the damage to the minor is the same.

I'm sorry, these posts are now starting to make me angry so this will probably be my last one. They are making me angry because it's getting to the point of victim shaming.
