And while we're at taking a backward look at our history of age of consent laws, Delaware was not alone in making sex with children legal in 1880. Go to the table, and you can see most states have the age of consent at 10.
By 1920, the age of consent was at least 14 in all states, and 16 and 18 in most states.
So, moving, albeit slowly, in the right direction.
Do you have a time frame for these? I only knew for sure the Roman Polanski case, and that was 1977.
I'm not sure the source of this information, but is there any indication things are getting better - that is, what used to be rampant is now lessening?
I certainly remember in middle school, the girls knew which male teachers to avoid because they'd grope you, or at the very least leer and make vulgar comments. I don't think that's happening at the rate it was.
Do you think Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while on suicide watch and his guards were asleep and the video cameras were magically broken? If so, then I suppose you can believe it’s getting better.
For the rest of us who pay attention to news sources beyond CNN, MSNBC, and FOX we realize that while the mainstream media is distracting us with the mask wars and the riots there is a huge story about child sex trafficking that they are intentionally not reporting on because it would affect dozens of prominent high profile politicians, celebrities, financiers, and businesspeople.
Wow, interesting fact. Did not know that. It’s hard to know whether we are headed in the right direction or not. In some things we are but in others we seem to be going backwards.
If anyone is interested, there are some great organizations fighting against modern slavery much of which is human trafficking related to sex.

No, I don't think Epstein committed suicide.
What I do know, is that it's illegal, what he and his cohorts were doing, and it didn't used to be illegal in the US, and certainly not in ancient Greece.
There are many, many more agencies watching out for children (at least in the US) and prosecuting their abusers when that didn't used to happen so often.
It used to be swept under the rug and children were shamed for being victims of sex with adults.
Child pornography is clearly up, because in the past it was much harder to produce and sell child porn under the radar.
But laws have become more and more strict, and efforts are being made to shield the children from these crimes.
No one is PURPOSELY distracting you from child abuse stories, Jim. You can find them at your fingertips.
Meanwhile, the mainstream is paying a lot of attention to other issues.
Which again raises the question.
OP - what is the time frame of those incidents in the original post?

It should be the 24/7 coverage.
People's minds would be BLOWN if that actually paid attention to what I happening. They wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
The truth is, the powers that control the mainstream media outlets, are not reporting on this, because there are most likely some within their ranks involved.
President Trump and his team are doing an incredible job of making this human and child trafficking and sexual exploitation a huge priority.
If you do research into this issue, there are tunnels all over the world where children are kept as sex slaves and commodities.
Vile, evil, disgusting and they are being taken down, thank God.
That list is just the tip of the iceberg once you start digging into this topic. And the same vile people making a lot of money from arms and drugs are making money off of human trafficking.
All one has to do is look at what the mainstream media isn't reporting on and what politicians aren't working on fixing, and start connecting the dots.
