One unintended consequence of describing intergenerational relationships as being always characterized by an adult seducing a reluctant minor is that young people may think that any relationship they pursue on their own initiative or with enthusiasm is harmless.

{{cquote|In being told merely to be wary of strangers and not retreat behind closed doors with unfamiliar adults, teen-agers are given a definition of -- and message about -- sexual abuse that assumes a violation of will, a physical coercion. They are not told something equally important: that their own curiosity may lead them places it is unhealthy and destructive to go.


But imparting that wisdom means acknowledging that children sometimes participate without protest -- and with apparent enthusiasm -- in their victimization, awakening to adult desires before they are adults.

Unintended consequences (sometimes unanticipated consequences or unforeseen consequences), outcomes that are not the ones intended by a purposeful action, sometimes occur as a result of efforts to restrict individual freedom to engage in intergenerational sexual relationships.

Examples

An unintended consequence of criminalizing adult-child sex is that people may become fearful that any physical contact with minors could result in criminal charges.[1]

One report notes, "An online survey was utilized to collect data from 584 family members [of registered sex offenders] across the U.S. Employment problems experienced by the RSO, and subsequent financial hardships, emerged as the most pressing issue identified by family members. The likelihood of housing disruption was correlated with residential restriction laws; larger buffer distances led to increased frequencies of housing crisis. Family members living with an RSO were more likely to experience threats and harassment by neighbors. Children of RSOs reportedly experienced adverse consequences including stigmatization and differential treatment by teachers and classmates. More than half had experienced ridicule, teasing, depression, anxiety, fear, or anger. Unintended consequences can impact family members’ ability to support RSOs in their efforts to avoid recidivism and successfully reintegrate."[2]

Pedophiles' fear of discrimination may lead to social isolation and thus a reduction of social control of pedophilic sexual urges, as well as the chances to implement preventative measures.[3]

Asuncion Avila-Villa killed her child to conceal the fact that the father of the child was underage.
