38 is almost exactly half of the life expectancy of a man in the U.S. To me that qualifies as middle age.

The difference in maturity between a 38 year old man and a 16 year old is enormous. We as a society know that at the age of 16 don't generally have the emotional and intellectual capacity for making these sorts of decisions.

Is he a pedophile? No that is with prepubescents, but he is a sexual predator.

rape? Nonsense. If a 17 year-old has sex with a 16 year-old is that rape? CBGLuthier Aug 2015 #10

No. Teenagers can have sex with other teenagers. prayin4rain Aug 2015 #11

Slight correction: he's not middle aged, though he is far too old to be having sex with teenagers MillennialDem Aug 2015 #15

38 is middle aged to me. Maybe 40 to late fifties....but close enough. n/t prayin4rain Aug 2015 #17

Middle aged is usually 45-60 or 45-65. It's the "middle" of adulthood, not the middle of lifespan. MillennialDem Aug 2015 #18
