I think we can all agree that age 39 you should know enough to make the decision that sleeping with some teenager after first getting her drunk is very, very wrong. Even if there are 15-16 year olds that are mature enough to make adult decisions, the law is there to protect others that aren't that mature, and it seems better to err on the side of caution and punish those that definitely *should* know better.
