The United States is sui generis in its lunacy and hysteria and fanaticism in punishing adults who have love affairs and mere trysts with biological men and women under statutory age: under age 16 in those states in which the generic age of consent is 16; under age 17 in those states in which the generic age of consent is 17; under age 18 in those states in which the generic age of consent is 18 and in all states in which the adult is in a position of authority even if the “victim” was the aggressor and initiator and the authority was not misused to coerce or manipulate the “victim” into submitting to “unwanted sex.” In most if not all jurisdictions, consensual sex between 18-year-old students and teachers is now a felony as is sex between adults and priests and others in positions of authority such as prison guards and mental health professionals.

In Saudi Arabia and other Muslim nations whose systems of “justice” are based on “Sharia Law,” a woman like Abigail would be stoned to death or beheaded: not because she had sex a 15-year-old biological man -after all, the youngest of the prophets many wives and sex-slaves was six when they “married” and nine when their sacred union was consummated- but because she had sex outside of marriage. And perhaps her partner, despite his age, would also be so dispatched.

In few if any other nations, excluding Islamic countries in which she’d be brutally, hideously, sadistically tortured and executed in public, would she and myriads of other men and women guilty of the same “crimes” have received a sentence and punishment, in its totality, i.e., imprisonment and all the post-incarceration penalties, even remotely as draconian and Orwellian/Kafkaesque. In no other nation, including Muslim countries, would she have received a prison sentence of 8-25 years and a life sentence of draconian/Orwellian persecution.

In no other “first-world” country -Japan, South Korea, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and European nations in which feminists are powerful and influential, would she have received  a sentence and punishment, as a whole, even remotely as draconian and Orwellian/Kafkaesque: 8-25 years in prison, years of “sex-offender treatment by charlatans and inquisitors who don’t know the difference between males and females and biological children and pubescent teenagers under age 16 or even 18; years of quasi-totalitarian post-incarceration surveillance, and a lifetime of public sex offender registration and electronic parole monitoring.

As noted previously, the “unspeakable” crimes for which she was sentenced to 8-25 years in prison and a lifetime of draconian/Orwellian persecution are legal acts or misdemeanors in dozens of other nations, including European countries
