Wait, how come she's old enough to make the decision to have sex, but she's not old enough to have access to her money?
Because a) statute of limitations and b) lawyers cost money. No, I think you are right, the simpler explanation makes more sense.
To be fair most women i know had sex at 14 or younger. None got 10 million for it.
Having sex with your peers is are appropriate teenage behavior. Being preyed upon by pedophiles isn't. Being taught about selling your body also isn't. I'm not sure where you're having problems "being fair" here.
I think the assumptions you made is that 1, they were peers and 2, that they regret it in hindsight. Im still in the male/no category, but even with their much older and more mature brains they still think that was a consensual interaction.
Im just thinking the wider possibilities and Ideas because, let's be honest, we're not discussing either a possibility or policy change - its just not going to happen.
One was happily fucking her way through men double and triple her age within the first 6 months and had the only regret of an STD - why should she not have been able to take 10 mill for something she was going to do anyway?Does being paid suddenly make it not OK?
FBI, this guy right here
Children should not have sex with adults
The fact that you're trying to paint being anti-statutory rape as misogynistic and heavily imply "the left believes boys who are raped by adults aren't victims/that adult women having sex with kids isn't rape" is... yikes. No, children (regardless of sex or gender of anyone involved) cannot consent to sex with adults and yes, children who are groomed will naturally be more likely to see their grooming as normal since it was literally intertwined with the critical period of mental development in their lives. You can make literally anything seem "normal" or "okay" to a lot of people if you can convince them it's okay when they're young. Your pedophilia & rape apologia is disgusting, Jesus Christ. You're actually arguing that abuse victims/nonconsenting people having sex aren't victims because they can't accept that they were manipulated. That doesn't even only affect children, but abused people in general. This isn't even strictly a left-right thing, people from fucking every part of the political spectrum are wondering wtf is wrong with you after this. Ain't none of the right-wingers I know advocating for the Epsteins and the Dr. Disrespects of the world, even though I'm from the god damn rural south where children marrying adults is legal and middle-school aged kids can legally bang a typical high school graduate.
I also want to add, for anyone struggling with understanding this or how sexual abuse can harm minors, please read The Body Keeps the Score. Sexual abuse has the same effects on kids as active war combat and torture. Imo it could easily be considered torture. There are automatic things your brain does that keep you alive in these situations and protect you mentally later. But it comes at a cost and your body leaves clues. No one is unaffected by sexual abuse, and all sexual interactions between minors and adults are sexual abuse.
14 year olds are children, not adults, and whether they are attracted to adults isn’t the concern. The fact that you think the problem here is that society won’t allow children to act on their attraction to adults - and not that children should not fuck adults - is a massive self-report.
You have a typo in your username.
Oh, that's beautiful. Thank you.

I wonder how many women he knows.
