I think Matt Gaetz is a douche for many reasons. But having a consensual relationship with a 17 year old is not one of them. A 17 year old is far from a child. Now if it came out that it wasn’t consensual, then throw the book at him.
Re: Is encouraging non-sexual physical contact abuse? It’s just two people who who enjoy each other’s company. Nothing wrong with that.
