ACA 7/8/2007 "Forbidden Love"

A 16-year-old boy in the United States has a relationship over the Net with a 31-year-old woman in Australia, and they arrange to meet. She was charged with child abduction but the prosecution later dropped the charges — however she is forbidden from seeing him until he is 18. The boy has no regrets about having this relationship.

Your question: Was this relationship genuine, or an abuse of trust or power? Is the age difference too much (would it be the same if the genders were reversed), and is he too young? Tell us your thoughts.
