A real-life example of a Lolita-type relationship like what I alluded to above(where the child is a willing participant) is that of Mary Kay Letourneau, a 36-year-old schoolteacher from Tacoma.
She slept with a student of hers for the first time when he was 12, and had two of his children before he was 15.
My link is old, but in new testimony from the “victim” (whose identity is now public because he is 18 and party to a lawsuit seeking damages from his old school system) the guy admits he made a bet with a classmate over who could sleep with a teacher first. Obviously, not a victim in the normal sense.

Not to hijack this into a GD/Pit thread or anything but…they aren’t traumatized until the social workers get a hold of them, is that what you’re saying?

Interesting that you brought up the Letourneau case. I always saw that so-called crime as a bittersweet “forbidden romance”, and very Lolita-like. (After all, he sought HER out, when she was released from jail the first time!) Also interesting to see that her “victim” is now suing the school for “failing to protect him”, and I can’t help but wonder…has his therapist convinced him that he was truly abused, and he’s working to set things right, or has age corrupted him to the point where he’s seeking out the big bucks? (A la Michael Jackson’s alleged lover…)
