Why is it not okay for a 17 year old to have consensual sex but it's okay to force a nineteen-year-old into sexual slavery?

Neither of those scenarios is okay.

It;s not.

In many places it's quite legal for a 17 year old to have consensual sex. Where I live the age of consent in most parts of my country is 16 , with 17 being the age in Tasmania and South Australia. In New Zealand and Canada it's 16. Throughout Europe (not counting Turkey) it's legal for a 17 year old to have sex, the highest age of consent is 17 in Ireland. You seem to live in the USA. In the USA only 12 of your states have an age of consent of 18. In six of these twelve states there is a "close in age" exception which allows a 17 year old to have sex with someone who is nearly the same age. I don't know of anywhere where it's OK to force anyone into sexual slavery.

It's NOT okay to force anyone into sexual slavery! (Just where did you get such a repugnant idea?) +++++
