This is just proof that there are forces working hard to destroy the "informed consent" and "age of consent" barriers you think protect against pedophilia.
There's always some faction looking for anything, but as the only one here trained in the thing under consideration, there is literally no reasonable way to suggest that consent can or will be undone as it applies to contract. And the age of consent has moved because we know something now that we didn't know before, when we tied law to the purely experiential, something we can't unknow and that isn't going to change: kids literally, biologically are incapable of informed consent. Their judgments are at best grossly compromised by the development of their prefrontal cortex and most of their decisions are made in the "Whooo, watch this!" area of the brain. That's one reason the laws relating to children have gotten progressively better and tougher even as adults have been given more latitude.
For those in need of a quick summary of what the prefrontal does, here's a good bit from WiseGeek.org:
"The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is located in the very front of the brain, just behind the forehead. In charge of abstract thinking and thought analysis, it is also responsible for regulating behavior. This includes mediating conflicting thoughts, making choices between right and wrong, and predicting the probable outcomes of actions or events. This brain area also governs social control, such as suppressing emotional or sexual urges. Since the prefrontal cortex is the brain center responsible for taking in data through the body's senses and deciding on actions, it is most strongly implicated in human qualities like consciousness, general intelligence, and personality."
As for consent, consent is the cornerstone of all contract law. To unhorse it you'd have to literally unwind the law as it applies to the thing that matters more to the stability and happiness of the most powerful player in the compact: corporations.
So,polygamy? Sure, it will eventually be considered. Hard to see it happening in this climate and, as I noted, it does change the nature of the contract, but it's still a contract that can be understood and enforced and there's historical precedent for the arrangement. At some point it's going to be debated.
But pedophilia gaining legal support? Not. Going. To. Happen.
You'll get an honest Congress before that...well, no, you'll get an honest Congress right after you eradicate corporate power, but it won't matter because the world will already be on fire.
