Not talking about this particular case or law but...

Loebs says juries are supposed to decide if a law was broken, not whether it's a wise or unwise law.

Actually Loeb is incorrect, juries are fully within their rights to decide if a law is unwise that's why jury nullification exists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification#United_States

Nice point. It does, in this case, raise the question if a girl is old and mature enough to give consent to a man or woman of 19 or 20, why isn't she old or mature enough to give it to a man of or woman of 40?

Don't pounce on me people, just playing devil's advocate here.
