22. An 18 year-old playing with the emotions of a 14 year-old is a sex predator, sorry.

The maturity and developmental differences are enormous, assuming reasonable people for their ages in both roles.

Criminal laws are not written with execptional people in mind, and tort law isn't decided that way except when it impacts what would be "reasonable care", and that distinction is almost never favorable to the person who did the wrong act, because someone got hurt anyway.
