Ah you're right. I don't really like strict liability from a moral perspective. Wikipedia says the Traci Lords case the courts recognized a "good faith" defense, where the producers said essentially, look we did due diligence, thought she looked 18, checked her ID, and she still was underage and just lying to us. Precise legislation difficult in these fact-specific cases.
