This is one issue I've found and haven't ever been given a solution I found any good for; how, exactly, will sexual predators be stopped, especially in more problematic areas that locally support such?
And what would the 'age of majority' be? Fluid based on characteristics, or a cultural 'please stay above 18' or '16' or what?
It just seems like a major concern, I'm not sure how it would be done.

Now that that's out of the way, I think we face sexual predators the same way we face fascists. We refuse them a platform (which they use to normalize their perversion) and meet them with violence if they attempt to organize or practice their fetish.
The size of the age gap between the two partners is what's important rather than any hard limit. Sex between a 50 year old and a 14 year old is not capable of being consensual. The power disparity is too great. But a 18 year old and a 16 year old is a different matter, and would then depend on the maturity of the individuals and the context (if there was any coercion or pressure).
