Yup. I agree.
The problem is, when does something have a victim? For adults this
quite clear -- only when there is not consent.
For non-adults, this gets very blurry very fast.
Does a photographer have the right to publish a photograph of, say, a
nudist 10-year-old (who is nude at the time)? On the one hand, it's
utterly victimless. On the other hand, it could well later damage a
possible political career of said child. Child is in no position to
judge either way.
I won't go into the rather icky and extremely controversial "studies"
that "show" sex-with-kids isn't necessarily harmful to the children.
