Yep, and in 1859 I suppose that you would have reported those escaped slaves to the slave catchers, because the law is the law.

Now you're being silly. First off, there's slim chance you could convince anyone that slavery is moral. Secondly, there are reasons (teleological and deontological) why having sex with children is illegal.
