I guess I should put my 2 cents in. I just turned 34 last week, and my wife is 22 turning 23 Arpil 15th. That is 11 1/2 years differents. I didn't plan on meeting, and marrying that much younger then me, but it happened.
The funny part is I meet her at work when she was 17. But along with everyone else that I worked with, we thought she was 22 or 23 at the youngest, but most of us thought about 26 or so because of her maturity. Anyhow, once I found out she was only 17, I kept telling her that I could not be involved with her, I could go to jail.. blah blah blah. Anyhow, she still chased me for a year and I kept using the exuse she was under 18 and I couldn't get involved with her.... well that exuse worked until she turned 18. On her 18th birthday, she showed up at work, and she hit on me some more, so I told her the same excuse, she is jailbate under 18, blah blah blah.. which she kindly informed me it was her birthday, and that excuse went out the window... I couldn't think of a excuss fast enough.. and well.. 4 years later, we are married.
My point of telling you my story is sometimes things just happen that you don't expect or plan. You can't always control how you feel about someone due to there age.
It could also be the old story that he believes, she is older then 14 and is being mislead about her age. My brother fell into that trap when he was about 24 or 25. Thought she was 20 years old, and that is what she told him. Found out she was 13 when the cops payed him a visit. He proved he was mislead and no charges where brought against him however, it shows how easy it is to be mislead. Some young women tend to dress themselves in a manner that makes them appear to be much older then they actually are and some can act it as well.
Anyhow, do I think it is wrong for a 22 year old to be with a 14 year old? Honestly, there are to many unknowns to answer that fairly.
