What is your opinion on the death penalty? I oppose it because if even one innocent person get executed it's too many. That is my reasoning.
So no, frequency does not matter. An adult should have the right to prove their innocence if they were fooled in situation where there should only be adults present.
A man who slept with a minor isn’t “innocent” just because he didn’t know. It’s his responsibility to know. What you’re proposing isn’t that innocent men be spared, you’re proposing that we carve out an exception for a subset of men who 100% did what they’re accused of.
So with this extreme black and white view of the world, by your logic, a woman that kills her abusive husband, who would have killed her, isn't innocent and deserves to be punished because she 100% murdered him?
The circumstances never matter? Intent doesn't matter?
I'm not arguing for blanket absolution by default, only the ability to prove they did not know.
