During an interview with investigators, Boston confessed to the motel assaults and also admitted molesting "upwards of 50 children" since he was 10 years old, Railsback said in a statement. The incidents happened in different cities where he had lived, including Riverside.
Boston was arrested on suspicion of two counts of oral copulation on a child under the age of 10 and jailed in lieu of $1 million bail, the statement said [.....]

18-Year-Old Child Molestation Suspect Confesses To His Mother; She Turns Him In
@ CBS LA, Dec. 2
He's been doing "it", oral sex, with other kids since he was 10. Child on child? Still looks like a child at 18.
So how does one, in the end, legally define "child molestation" without getting into such absurdities.
I think whether one has hit puberty or not should be more significant, that's the only thing that makes sense to me

As you know I disagree, since we've already briefly discussed this topic. Probably 99% of all child molestation cases are absolutely clear. You find the extremely rare weird exception and use it to suggest the law should be changed. I think that's a bullshit argument.

But what's the marker for puberty aside from menstruation, which is also inexact and less refoective of psychological maturity?

I know, I know, we don't want to be testing everybody for hormones.It might not even be the right suggestion. It's just that the whole nature of this mania bothers me. But shouldn't have gotten into it because I've got too many of my own problems to think about, just other thing I should compartmentalize for "later." Going to let it go.
Everyone else can have at it here, or not.
In the end, that the laws and enforcement differ from state to state is interesting in itself, suggests we do still truly do have different state cultures
