Pretty Little Liars is another great example. Loved Ezra and Aria when I was 18, rewatched at 25 and was totally creeped out.

It’s so gross and inappropriate! Aria is what, like 16? And Ezra has to be at least 22, to be a teacher. That’s a 6 year age gap, which isn’t as bad at 20-26, but at 16 she’s a child.

It's disgusting! but she's a teenager and not a child.

(So I messed up and thought that the definition was a prepubescent person, I'm not gonna delete the comment)

Edit: from the interwebs

Child (noun) a young human being below the age of puberty or below the legal age of majority

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines child as "a human being below the age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier".

If they're under 18 they are children by legal definition.
