I guess I don't understand

Recently there has once again been a prosecution verdict pronounced on some poor bastard who decades after the fact is being sent to jail for sex "crimes" involving a minor. Granted, having sex with a minor is illegal, but I can't help but feel very sorry for the adult being imprisoned, punished for past behaviors that at that time seemed very consensual. In this particular case money was extorted to salve the"wounds" of the so called "victim" on multiple occasions. I realize that we all come from many different backgrounds with a varied set of beliefs as to what is right and wrong with the underlying knowledge in regards to the law of the land, I can only speculate as to the motive the victim or victims may honestly hold. I can only voice my own feelings and beliefs on this issue. I am acutely aware of the power of a so-called victims testimony in these types of cases. This results in only being more convinced of the questionable so called "one-sided guilt" that seems to prevail in most verdicts. The victims age and maturity is of course major factors in all cases.
Was the victim solely a "victim" in this case? Could it be possible to fathom that they also had some motivation in the initiation and carriage of the so-called offense? Was the age and physical maturity present to prompt the fantasy and pleasure of this taboo event in the mind of the victim? Did both parties involved enjoy what happened? Was after-guilt and shame the motivation to initiate the final resulting prosecution on part of the victim?
