"active initiatory seduction of an adult by a juvenile"
Prof. David Finkelhor of @UofNH on child sex crimes
"if young people are initiating sexual activities with adults or enthusiastically involved we can't be effective in working with them if we assume that all such relationships start with a predatory or criminally inclined adult"
"even when child sexual abuse occurs or these kinds of relationships occur & there not fully voluntary I think another thing reason to have these kinds of discussions is that much sexual abuse is NOT necessarily assaultive nature"
