It is not the fact of the age difference, to me it is the ages that seem strange. When I was 15 I was wanting to do things that did not include hanging out with an 8 year old, when I was 18 I was doing things that did not include hanging out with a 11 year old. I have a young son and call me paranoid but I would be suspicious. Then again this is also the reason none of my children will ever participate in boy or girl scouts.Yeah, let's just disband big brothers and all the other mentoring programs.
Some of the other posters talking about going to jail for what they would do, what jury would convict you? IMO you could take that POS outside, make him bite the curb and stomp his teeth out his neck and I would come back with a not guilty. Child molesters cannot be rehabilitated.
