Of all the defenses he could have taken, why the hell would he even touch Lolita? It's not about some kid coming of age and taking hold and control of their sexuality, it's about a distorted pedo imaging the child they're harming, being the one in control, thus justifying his years long abuse on the lassie. News feckin' flash, if you're thirty years old, and see an eleven year old that gives you that 'look', you're the problem and need to stay away from that kid and children in general, for societies good.
The moment you even touch a single developed notion or idea of what these 'relationships' might be, it just dissolves into clear and obvious abuse. Theoretical works find and well, till you actually open your mouth, scream fire, or start defending kiddie fuckers, then you shoot the entire idea through the foot, to bounce back through your head.
What a complete disaster.
