The curios case of Sumner Stroh and Adame Levine: 23 yr old said she was "naive and young." What about the whole 18 is an adult thing?

In pop culture news, lead singer of the American band Maroon 5, Adam Levine, had an affair with a young woman named Sumner Stroh. Stroh is an OF model. Oh boy. Levine has been married to a Victoria Secret model since 2014. Hoo boy. Levine and his wife are expecting their third child. Please let me out of the room!

On the public finding out of the affair this is what Stroh, now 23, said - "I was young and naive." Hmmm. Well, given she was probably around 22 during the affair that lasted a year wouldn't the "young and naive" part be odd given society, particularly Western society, keeps using the "it's legal" alongside the "she/he is 18 yrs old so it's fine" card? If a 22 yr old who has an OF account and manages to sleep with a married man - let alone a celebrity of Levine's stature - counts as being "young and naive" I wonder what counts as being a real adult because being at or older than the age of consent proves that the concept of an "adult" is relatively meaningless in Western society. 

Stroh argues that she was "manipulated" by Levine because she believed his marriage was over (for whatever reason). Really? Wait, if we play the "two adults" and "consent" card then it really doesn't matter who manipulated who because Stroh isn't saying he raped her. By the logic of sexual libertines cheating doesn't do any harm to anyone - but only to the person stepping outside of a relationship in order to fulfill their libido if their feelings are hurt, either by their sexual partner or by their oh-so-mean significant other.

Gee, I thought a 22 yr old, fours years past 18, would be a veteran adult! Levine is a man child if you are aware of his past political rants. He isn't an adult. 

The whole story is a mess. Apparently she took pictures of her and Levine's affair and sent it to "people she trusted" thinking they would keep the whole thing private. First, if this was true, yes, the friends she trusted shouldn't have done what they've done. But they did. Let's move back a bit. How could this have been prevented? How about not taking pictures in the first place! Ah, sorta like when people take nudes of themselves - whether for themselves or for their significant others on their smartphones then their phone or iCloud gets hacked. "Did you see Jenny's nudes? She's bigger than I thought!" Not a good idea in general. Probably take the nude with a polaroid maybe, if you're so compelled to take that kind of picture.

And Levine, if the the texts are legit, wants to name his third kid after her. I hope to God that this isn't true because it further proves my point that the whole "as long they're adults and there's consent" is so utterly shallow and meaningless when sexual acts are involved.
