But, after all, listening to a child, hearing him speak, hearing him explain what his relations actually were with someone, adult or not, provided one listens with enough sympathy, must allow one to establish more or less what degree of violence if any was used or what degree of consent was given. And to assume that a child is incapable of explaining what happened and was incapable of giving his consent are two abuses that are intolerable, quite unacceptable.

-Michel Foucault, The Danger of Child Sexuality

That quote comes from a 1978 talk with him, Guy Hocquenghem, and Jean Danet. It was a result of a petition he and a bunch of other commies(Derrida, de Beauvoir, Sartre, etc) signed in 1977 to legalize raping infants.
