Addressing the implied stuff...it’s not potential if it didn’t happen.

Emma being 17/18 with an age of consent that varies by state is a trivial point. We don’t know Neal’s age, the writers can’t math, and we don’t know the state. If you go by the low (16) and the high (18), then Emma and Neal’s relationship is okay (asked on consent). We really don’t need to keep bringing this up.

Cora didn’t force Regina to do a thing. Regina shoved her into another world and Regina stuck through the marriage. Plus, there’s no evidence they slept together not even shared the same bed.

Malcolm didn’t address any such issue, so that’s speculative and Malcolm is surely an adult and has shown no indication otherwise, based on his dialogue (with Emma, talking about Belle, etc).
