Our civil law includes the category of statutory rape, which is certainly a biblical concept. If someone under the age of adult responsibility is forcibly taken away (whether for sexual purposes or not), the crime is a species of kidnapping, which in Scripture deserves the death penalty. Part of the reason why a society should have wise and godly men for judges is that they must determine in such cases whether the one raped is almost of age. But when we are dealing with young children who are abused by adults (pederasty, child porn, etc.) the penalty for those guilty of the crime should be death.

In the Matter of Serial Pedophile Steven Sitler
What the victims don’t know can’t hurt them
On December 23, 2015, the Court granted Steven Sitler permission to reestablish contact with some of his victims and their families, if these people so desire; and the Court also ordered that the parents of these victims do not have to inform their children — the victims — that Steven Sitler molested them as a precondition of reestablishing contact.

A Corruption of Justice Primer

On How Not To Conduct an Inquiry
A Corruption of Justice Primer
The CREC ignores a man in its jurisdiction over whom it exercises constitutional authority — Doug Wilson. The CREC ignores its moral and constitutional obligation to prosecute him for his crimes. And the CREC concerns itself with someone outside its jurisdiction — Natalie — asking her how an unrepentant Doug Wilson can make restitution to her, which is not how to conduct an inquiry.

“A Theology of Slut Walks”
If somebody kidnapped and raped the most outrageous organizer of the worst slut pride event ever, I would want to see that rapist punished to the fullest extent of the law. Douglas Wilson
“of course it is rape”
So do I believe that if some girl goes to a frat party with a hardened resolve to drink way too much, with a t-shirt on that says ‘No Means No,’ but after three beers she takes that shirt off because all the boys wanted her to, and then the next thing she knows she wakes up in the morning having been raped . . . do I somehow believe that is not rape? No, of course it is rape. It is the rape of a dope, but it is still a rape. Should the man or men involved be punished? Of course they should, however unlikely it is that they will be in this life. But they will be dealt with at some point. God is not mocked.
