There is no link between consensual adult-child sex and psychological harm. Child sexual abuse theory is an empirically invalid pseudoscience which has been debunked by studies with proper methodology. Studies which purport to show a causal link between adult-child sex and psychological harm rely on clinical or psychiatric samples, conflate rape with voluntary sexual experiences, and don't control for confounding variables such as home environment.

Many professionals know that adult-child sex involving willing participants does not really cause children psychological harm:

James Cantor PhD:
>The research is much more consistent with the conclusion that harm is caused instead by coercion, manipulation, secrecy, and by courting kids who already have problems, not the sexual interactions per se.

Michael Bailey PhD:
>Indeed, the best scientific evidence suggests that the most typical experiences considered childhood sexual abuse may not be as harmful as most people think. Specifically, sexual activity that children engage in voluntarily (albeit illegally) with adults is nearly uncorrelated with undesirable outcomes

People are caused psychological harm by violence and coercion, not by having an enjoyable sexual experience with an adult partner.
