I think it's wrong because a 40 year old and a 14 year old aren't on the same mental capacity. (Oh, and btw, I know there is a double standard here too...if a 40 year old woman has sex with a 14 year old boy, people cheer....which I think is disgusting personally....)
A 14 year old is still trying to get a handle on the world, doesn't have a whole lot of experience with which to base her decisions on, doesn't understand the consequences of sex, etc. A 40 year old, on the other hand, has the experience, is used to the world, *should* understand at that point the consequences of sex, etc.
I think that that fact alone sets the 40 year old at an obvious advantage in manipulating a 14 year old. And a 14 year old wouldn't have the mental resources to deal with that or see it coming.
