The justice system in this country is dumb and decided that 18 means you are magically no longer a child, but I disagree, because it leads to thinking like you have. 17 sleeping with 24 is wrong, but 18 with 24 is right? No, there is literally no difference. What matters to me is the age of the people. I think a 20 year old sleeping with an 80 year old is about as wrong as you can get. My main point was to not to bog down talking about redemption with an old topic that really doesn't deal with anything. It doesn't relate to Neal's redemption arc at all. It relates in that how you view it would decide if Neal needs to even be redeemed or not. Like I don't feel Neal really did much wrong. Sure he left Emma to take the fall, because August told him Emma needed to be the Savior, but I don't see Neal as a sexual predator, as others do.
