KBF:

It still seems to me that Saletan is trying to find some way to argue that, in certain circumstances, it's OK and even natural for a 44-year-old man to have consensual sex with a 13-year-old girl. He writes: "Is maturity an arguable factor with a 13-year-old, particularly one who's posing nude in a jacuzzi? Yes."

I would actually disagree with this interpretation, because Saletan has also said that Polanski's age is relevant. Based on what he's written today, I think Saletan is asking us to consider that the question of consent also extends to situations that would come across as potentially more acceptable, like an older teen with a younger one.
