Concern, yes... but legal action only if 'criminal' actions are taking place.
Even then, many observations of 'criminal' behavior completely miss the mark.

How about affixing the arbitrary segregation to a quality that makes a difference, instead of one as utterly ineffectual as the separation of ages?
Just a thought.
And really, who cares why two people might deign have sex with one another? Does the reason matter to you, as long as both parties agree?

Legal arbitration causing problems. Nothing unusual there.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
