-When they were together, Emma and Neal were in Oregon, where the age of consent is 18.

-Neal was biologically 22/23, because of the age on the wanted poster. However he was much older due to his time spent on Neverland. Im pretty sure Neal's age when he dated and had sex with Emma has never been stated. What wanted poster are you reffering to? Can you show me it?

Im also pretty sure Emma's age at the time she dated and had sex with Neal has never been stated. http://anti--swanfire.tumblr.com/post/102230256986/a-few-anons-asked-me-if-i-could-post-a-picture-ofThe second picture shows the wanted poster, which lists Neal's DoB as March 1977.

Now before everyone goes "AHHAHHHH BUT THE POSTER WAS FALSE" the most likely scenario is that when Bae landed in the LWM he was picked up by social services and given a date of birth close to his own ie. if he was 15, he would have landed in the LWM in 1992, and so been given 1977 as the birth year. WHich is the most liekly scenario. In any case, the poster was put there and never contradicted to show us how old he was.

They didn't need to state Emma's age. Henry was 10 years and 2 months (or 6 months depending on which birthday you believe) on her 28th birthday, I am pretty sure the writers thought you could work it out from there. Okay, so Nealfire was born on March 23 1977. You get that point. However I dont believe that wraps up this discussion. To my knowledge we were never told the dates of the time period Emma and Neal dated and had sex.

Is it ever stated how old Henry was on Emma's 28th birthday? I do not recall it ever being. Please show me where the show states Henry's age on Emma's 28th birthday. "Ten years ago did you give a baby up for adoption?"

"Ms Swan you made a decision ten years ago and in the last deacade while you've been doing...."

Three times, in the first episode it is confirmed Henry was already 10 on Emma's 28th birthday.

And then in 3x11

"I have ten years of soothing his nightmares under my belt."

Implying Henry was 10 in the pilot, before Emma came into his life.

Also worth noting in 3b Emma would be 29 and she states that Henry is 12. Okilie dokilie then. I will factcheck this later, for now I will take you at your word.

So when Emma gave birth to Henry she was 17 at youngest.

Here is what we know:

- Nealfire was born on March 23 1977

- Emma was either 17 or 18 when she gave birth to Henry

​​​​​However this is not enough information to deduce if Nealfire was being a paedophile by dating and having sex with Emma.

We still need to find out:

- Was Emma 17 or 18  when she dated and had sex with Neal

- How old was Neal when he dated and had sex with Emma

Those two we still dont know. If we are going to deduce if Nealfire was a paedophile, we need those facts, until we have them we cannot know.
