Good point Mike. I would say it probably happened something like this. Somebody said there should be a 4 year gap. That way an older Grade 12 guy could date a younger Grade 10 girl and it all still be OK. Then somebody said "what if the guy is 51 months older and not 48 months? Why is that now a crime for the sake of a few months? So then they decided on 5 years.

One could now say "What about a 62 month age difference" and then they make it 6 years, and so on, and so on. And then we are back to the 40 year old dating the 14 year old.

Bottom line is it's about making our kids safer than they are right now.
