The
Girl next Door
An anonymous man recalls his relationship with the girl next door - My Story Of Consent.
"Yes, consent. I gave consent when I was seven years old."
"I might be an adult now and society says I should look at my precious Patty in a negative light but I can't and I won't. She did nothing wrong because there was love attached to it, because I felt it then and I feel it now."
Kirk
Douglas
"I had been a ragamuffin kid of 15 coping with a neighborhood filled with gangs . . . under her guidance I became a different person . . . I am eternally grateful. By today's standards she would have gone to jail. I had no idea we were doing something wrong. Did she?"

This really shocked him as it was exclusively based on the prejudices, rather than on his own story.
