Shane,

are you pretty much arguing that the 11-12 year olds had consensual
sex with this coach guy? And that 11-12 year olds, contra Joanna, can
in fact consent to sex with an adult? If you are, I would like to hear
more on that from you,

CB; Fear of being put out of the program could coerce them, which is
non-physical "force". So, not only are they legally incompetent to
consent because of their ages, but they may have, in legal terms, been
under _duress_, which means it's not freely willed.
