Reminder: if a 50-year-old man uses his power to pressure a reluctant 18-year-old woman into sex, the numbers 50 and 18 have literally... nothing... to... do... with why this is morally (or legally) wrong. Mrs. Grundy's salacious tut-tut about the woman's youth insults the woman.

Looking away from the nonconsent to tut-tut about the age difference implies you somehow know she couldn't have been some 50-year-old's equal and competent to start such a relationship on her own if she'd so chosen. That's trivializing her choices, and not at a good time.

A firm clear line and unequivocal sanctions for crossing is especially beneficial in social constructs like consent. Also with race and gender.

You can give the girl agency yet assign a 50-year-old extra moral blame for going after someone who might not be wise enough to resist. (This is theoretical btw, idk anything about the specific case you were discussing.)
