The age differential between a 30-year-old and a 15-year-old makes this lack of consent more obvious .
You don’t have the right to use your knowledge of this crime to retaliate against your ex-husband now.Based on the way you’ve framed this, you seem worried that your kids might have too high an opinion of their father — when you believe that he doesn’t deserve it.
