Are you implying that even close to any of these cases involve girls having their lives ruined by having sex with their boyfriends or hooking up with a guy at a party? Because those are the people who can be and have been targeted with these laws.
Would you be ok if you at 17 had sex with your 17 year old girlfriend and was charged as a sex offender?

I never said I agreed with all the laws.
You cited Canadian laws with a 5 year window, which is absurd IMO.
The fact that you (and millions of other people) refer to sex as 'hooking up' these days is a big part of the problem, especially when talking about minors. Sex is a grown up activity with grown up consequences.
If, at 17, I thought my girlfriends parents would have me charged with a crime I would keep it in my pants. I realize there are a lot of guys your age who simply can't do that.
