This post assumes that you are already familiar with Hige wo Soru. If you are not, then please review the story's main couple, Yoshida and Sayu. The main takeaway for this forum is if they had sex (and there are several plausible moments where that could have happened), Yoshida could have gone to jail and Sayu would have seen the man she loves hauled off to jail - a double tragedy and gross injustice. So to avoid that unacceptable outcome in real life, here is one version of a Yoshida and Sayu law. Someone can be convicted of violating an age of consent law if it is beyond a reasonable doubt that: # The defendant pursued the relationship solely because of the alleged victim's age, and, # The essential nature of the relationship caused the alleged victim to suffer provable harm to their pursuit of life, liberty, or property, or, # The defendant demonstrated callous and gross disregard for the alleged victim's evident welfare. # The pursuit and existence of a sexual relationship in itself will not be construed by the finders of fact as a priori harm to the pursuit of life, liberty, or property, nor will it be construed by the finders of fact as a priori callous and gross disregard for evident welfare. Now that I've given the forum a starting point, it's up to us to take what is written here and debate its merits in terms of good law, political considerations, and whether it fits the overall goal of keeping couples similar to Yoshida and Sayu under the law's good graces.

The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi (1908 Catholic Book) > The Fioretti, or "Little Flowers", is not a biography, btu a collection of episodes, or, as the title itself describes it, the fairest and choicest flowers of the seraphic life of S. Francis and his companions. These stories remind me of a fully Western version of the Eastern writings of the episodes of the "Desert Fathers". Text: https://archive.org/details/littleflowersof00fran/page/230/mode/2up Excerpt: > CHAPTER XXIII How S. Francis delivered the brother that was in sin with the devil > As S. Francis was on a time at prayer in the House of Portiuncula, through divine revelation he saw the whole House surrounded and besieged by devils, as it were by a great army, but no one of them could win an entrance into the House; for the brothers were of so great sanctity, that the devils could find none in whom to enter. But as they so continued, it happened on a day that one of these brothers was offended with another, and thought in his heart how he might accuse him and take vengeance upon him; for the which cause, while his heart was devising this wicked thought, the devil, finding the door open, entered into the House and set himself upon the neck of that brother. But the heedful and pitying Shepherd, who was ever keeping watch over his flock, seeing that the wolf had entered to devour his little sheep, at once let call to him that brother, and bade him forthwith disclose the venom of hate he had conceived against his neighbour, through the which he had fallen into the hands of the enemy. Whereat he being affrighted at seeing that the holy Father knew the secret of his heart, discovered unto him all its venom and malice, and acknowledged his fault, and humbly begged for penance and mercy; and this done, whenas he was absolved from his sin and had received penance, immediately, before the face of S. Francis, the devil was away; and the brother thus set free from the hands of that cruel beast, through the loving-kindness of the good Shepherd, gave thanks to God; and going back, corrected and admonished, to the flock of the holy Shepherd, he lived there-after in great sanctity.
