Judge to minor: You're a kid, you didn't know better.
Judge to adult: You're an adult, you should know better.

It's not illegal for a minor to lie about their age but it absolutely is illegal for an adult to have any sort of sexual conversations with a minor in any context.
Ah yes, because all adults are psychic and can tell another player is lying about their age.

Reminds me of a recent event with a YTer who was accused of sexual acts with a minor. Said YTer had proof the minor lied multiple times about their age (got those receipts) and intentionally accused the YTer of sexual acts. That minor was called out and worse for lying.

No, if a person lies about their age, there is intent behind it. Period. They know exactly what they are doing.
