Elvis and JLL were involved with girls who were not little girls, but biologically able to have children. There's a difference.
I'm not writing this to make political pedophile propaganda....I'm writing candidly to talk about my own understanding based on my current memory that is a little more objective in regards to my childhood fantasies.
At the time, if my grade 3 teacher (which prolly would have made me around 8 years old) were to say to me, "You want me to suck yer dick?" I would have said, "Oh ya....that would be awesome...go ahead."
I would have been able to "consent" to such a thing, because I developed some strong feelings for her, and wanted her to do something sexual to me....but she was not about to do anything like that to me. If she were to do something like that to me, I'm pretty sure that, at my current age, I would not think that I was abused or taken advantage of. I would be thinking, "She was so fucking awesome and nice to me."
And on the other hand, I remember certain sexual things that happened to me, as a child, that I found repulsive at the time, and I still find it repulsive...to the point where I don't remember certain specifics, because I think my brain maybe blocked it out of my mind. I guess even at such an early age, I knew that I was being forced and intimidated into doing certain things, and hated that.
The laws and societal customs do not prevent children or young people from experiencing sexually abusive situations. These same laws and social customs DO prevent a youngster from being in charge of his/her own sexuality.
I'm not saying this out of an attraction for little kids. I'm saying this because at the time, I wanted to have a sexual experience with my 3rd grade teacher. If she was actually into such an idea (and I highly doubt she was), "The Laws" and such were there to scare her away.
