18 is still pretty young. There's a huge difference in maturity from an 18 year old to even a 22 year old, let alone a 34 year old.
Legal or not I still feel he took advantage of someone who was younger and naive while in a position of power.

Ok you need to separate what Chu did from the general idea of it. You're conflating the two and I clearly separated them because you made a generalization in your original post.
What Chu did was wrong on every level. She was underage, he was a cop, he was in a position of authority, he was on the job, he was there to perform a duty related to his job.
In general though, you need to get this idea out of your head that every 34 year old that has sex with an 18 year old is a disgusting creep. You act like it's a one way street. You know the woman has a choice in it too right? Who are you to judge her for her decisions in who she has sex with? It's not right that your mind instantly assumes that it must be the man that made the move and is a creep. Maybe the young woman who has full self determination and sexual agency wanted to be with an older man. Is she a creep for thinking that way? Has she not been raised right? Why are you making judgements on the autonomy she has over her body? Should all young women come to you to seek permission to have sex with partners? At what age are they able to make decisions for themselves or will you decide to control their bodies for their entire lives?
