what are 3 arguments you can use for and against the criminalization of sex with someone under 17 that looks, acts, talks and even says that they are older?

For criminalization:

Ignorance is no excuse under the law.
The responsibility falls on the mature person who is at least 17.

Against criminalization:

Consensual sex is not illegal.
Our courts and jails are already overloaded with more serious crimes.
