Well, there's also the flipside, which is a predator physically attracted to post-pubescent women but thinks teenagers are easier prey.
... which is not better, but different. I do think this page is needlessly... kid-gloves (pun not intended for once) on the subject.

It's not minors, minors is relative, because you have to count also the age of consent and the age of majority, both vary depending on the state and country and can vary even depending of the sex of the younger individual, due to different se*ual maturity (example: El Salvador's age of majority is 25 for males and 17 for females). The correct definition would be an adult person primarly attracted to mid-late adolescents or biological young adults between 15-19, without minors, that's relative and not objective.

- That may be so, but Statutory Rape laws mean it's still illegal.
- Uh, no, that's the complete opposite of what it means. "Statutory rape" means that it's rape because they couldn't have possibly given consent because they're not of age.
- That may be so, but Statutory Rape laws mean it's still illegal.
I didn't understand this until I looked up the context.
- In the episode "Go Stewie Go" Lois tried to have sex with Meg's boyfriend, Anthony. He was entirely willing but that doesn't change the fact that he's around Meg's age, which is 17, and Lois is in her 40's.
- Is it appropriate to point out that the age of consent is 16 in Rhode Island?
- I guess the question is at which point in people's lives they become capable of consent, and which factors determine this. Otherwise the question it reduced to Madagascar (21 years) or Nigeria (shrug). Edited by AlsoSprachOdin
Yabbut in Rhode Island, where Family Guy is more or less set, a 17-year-old — indeed, a 16-year-old — is legally capable of consent. That's what "age of consent" means.
I think a 16-year-old is likely to be capable of consent, but the State of New York disagrees with me (not that it ever comes up in my own life at almost 32). In any case, "statutory rape" means sex with someone below the age of consent, whatever that may be and however reasonable or unreasonable it is.
