Except for the fact that many, many kids grow up and report that it's harmful. These accounts are painful, emotional, sincere. So if the victims say that it is harmful, why don't you believe them?

I didn't say sexual relationships with children couldn't be harmful; I only said that not all automatically are. For instance, rape is obviously always harmful, and AFAIK a large fraction of such relations consist mainly of rape - but not all.
