> is knowingly participating in rape

What makes you think that? For all we know he might have thought that said girl was 18 or 25. But even if he thought that she was a 17 years old prostitute I can't see how it would be rape.

Even if she were 18 or 25, it wouldn't really change the morals of the issue - maybe the legality, but forced sex is wrong regardless of the age of the victim, and it's not in any way reasonable to argue that he wouldn't have known the circumstances.

Hard to imagine it even changes the legality. These defenses of Minsky remind me of someone who buys a shiny new high-end stereo from someone off the street for one quarter its retail price, then protests to the cops "well he didn't tell me it was stolen!"

How are you defining rape where having sex with a coerced child isn't rape?
