This is about power dynamics and coercion. A 15 year old does not have a proper grasp of the consequences of their actions. They are easily manipulated and coerced. That's why they can't vote for example.

The consequences of sex for the victim are the same regardless of the age of her partner. If it was a legal encounter with a 16 year old partner or with the 39 year old cop the consequences still are emotional damage, disease, and pregnancy. I think you are being very insulting and misoginistic towards young women in saying that they are delicate little flowers incapable of making decisions and need protection from the paternal state.
