the idea is that the act itself is sufficient for guilt because we've decided that at a certain age and below, the minor cannot consent. thus, even if they lied and the adult was ignorant of the true age, they were taking advantage of the minor
kinda like how you can shoot at a deer but get charged with involuntary manslaughter if you miss and hit a person

of course the idea is the judge can take this sort of thing into account, but the way laws are written shouldn't drastically change

Minimum sentencing may have been involved.
