It is certainly a mess, but that doesn't stop jurisdictions outside the United States from prosecuting it.

The parent commenter seemed to be referring to the US, given that they referred to Delaware (a US State).
I know; they were saying that this law wouldn't be enforced in a U.S. state because it's a mess to do so. That's not a strong argument because there is evidence of such laws being enforced despite the difficulty in assigning ages to a fictional character.
