I don't know about him but I'd be disappointed because I like Bae but I hate Neal and I find the whole statutory rape thing really uncomfortable, come on Emma was 17 I'm not cool with that. She may have given birth to Henry after she turned 18 (probably shortly after) but she's 17 when Neal slept with her (and he wanted to buy her a drink), that's why she has juvie records that she got sealed later. Sydney even called her a kid in ep 2 and said how she kept out of trouble since, you only get juvie records if you're under 18. So for me Neal as Bae is a big no-no. Kinda looked like both sides were okay with sleeping with each other. Emma (even if she was a minor) was okay with it so it's not rape.

How did the topic change from Charming's name to this anyhow?!?!

Tell me if a 12 year old gave her consent   to a 30 year old man, would you call it rape or not?

It doesn't matter if she wanted to sleep with him, she was a minor and in the eyes of the law unable to give consent, that why it's called statutory rape, I'm not making this up, it's an actual crime punishable by imprisonment.
