It would be a hard sell, but it might have some legal legs.
What if the reverse happens? What if the "predator" that the TV people are trying to coerce really is a 15 year old kid? And then some 15 year old shows up at the door expecting to get his 15 year old shwerve on with a 15 year old girl? What then? Wouldn't the TV person then be the perve since they were being inappropriate with a minor? I wonder how that works.
