I cannot wait for this excuse to be given on 'Judgment Day? These perverts groomed the boys, so that magical day of puberty past, this excuse would be made. Whom ever came up with the notion they could 'write' out excuses for gravity of the sins, based upon the age of the victim is only fooling themselves. You all are messing with the One who keeps the perfect record.
