That depends upon the mentality of the child involved. It would be NEARLY impossible to figure that out without extensive psychiatric evaluations. Therefore, we go by our age of consent laws.
Men (and women at times) can avoid being labelled as sexual predator by simply avoiding those types of relationships. It is personal responsibility for yourself and your freedom. Just like any laws, if you break them you should expect to pay the price. If you are unwilling to accept the penalty, then don't commit the crime.
A sixteen year old may be legally a child, but not in the same sense as a 10yo is a child. That's my main point, and you seem to be either missing it or ignoring it.
